Meet the Composer

Meet The Composer’s Global Connections provids support for composers to share their work with a global community. Global Connections helps ensure that international audiences see and hear the impressive range of work offered by today’s living composers. Global Connections also helps support the creative and professional development of living composers through the performance of their work worldwide.

Meet The Composer’s Global Connections provides support to composers or organizations in the U.S. for the following:

• Composers traveling to another country to engage in a variety of activities surrounding the performance of their music
• Composers traveling to another country for research and development of a new project or work
• Non-profit cultural organizations hosting non-U.S. based composers in residencies featuring performances of their existing work or the development of a new work

Global Connections accepts applications from either U.S. based composers who have been invited to perform, attend performances of their work, or engage in other activities by a foreign hosting organization or from U.S. based non-profits wishing to host a foreign composer-in-residence.
