The Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute:
Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Awards Continuing Innovation Grant to the Center for Jazz Studies and American Composers Orchestra for the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute
After a national call for applications in early 2012, an adjudication panel will select up to 35 jazz composers for a new five-day Intensive, to be held in summer 2012 at UCLA, where the composers will work with seven leading composers, conductors and performers selected by ACO and CJS. Then, in winter 2012 and spring 2013, the Jazz Composers Orchestra Institute Readings will be held with up to four orchestras in California, Buffalo and Chicago, as well as with ACO's Readings in New York City. This will provide the opportunity to select up to 16 composers from the 35, greatly expanding the reach and impact of the project from the 2010-2011 meetings.
Deadline for composer applications is April 16, 2012
