ACHF Arts Access
Foster artistic development and community engagement for composers. Act as career resource for composers and create connections with local communities.Toward this end, American Composers Forum will manage re-grant programs for composers; bring composers to the state to work with Minnesota-based performers; produce 25 new innova recordings; and facilitate seminars/salons for composers for the reading/performance of new work. Staff communicates with participants throughout residencies/programs to shape projects as they progress. Composers complete final reports and findings are shared with pertinent committees of the board and funders. 2: Inspire students with fresh music. Provide students with meaningful, relevant musical experiences through the creation of new music. Toward this end, American Composers Forum will commission and distribute one new BandQuest and ChoralQuest piece designed for middle school students; and develop new curriculum to support these pieces for connection to non-arts study areas. Quantitative and qualitative data are measured for outcomes. Findings are compiled to learn more about the elements of a successful program and the role staff needs to play in fostering success.
ACF maintained vital re-granting, fellowship and commissioning programs; produced 26 new recordings; and facilitated seminars for reading of new work. Two pieces were written for BandQuest and ChoralQuest. NextNotes™ High School Composition Awards were launched to encourage music creation in students.
