MUSICAL GRANT PROGRAM

The Musical Grant Program offers awards to Greater Bay Area musicians and presenters for projects of the highest artistic quality. The purpose of the program is to give a small but significant amount of financial assistance for chamber music, including all genres from early music through classical, contemporary, jazz and improvisation. SFFCM is interested in supporting musicians who, through the MGP, can impact their careers, and in enabling presenters to advance the visibility of chamber music in Northern California.
