Copland House announces its 2010 Aaron Copland Awards composer residencies.
Typically, seven to nine emerging or mid-career composers (American citizens
or permanent residents) are selected to live and work, one at a time, for
approximately three to eight weeks at Aaron Copland's longtime, landmark
home in New York's lower Hudson River Valley, one hour north of New York
City. Accommodations, meals, housekeeping, and local transportation are
provided by Copland House. Composers writing in any genre and small
collaborative teams are welcome to apply. Residencies will be scheduled
between November 1, 2010 and October 31, 2011. Copland Awards residents
also become eligible for the Sylvia Goldstein Award, Borromeo String Quartet
Award, Hoff-Barthelson School/Copland House commission, and other
prospective honors, performances, and opportunities. Composers must submit
a Copland Awards residency application form (downloadable), three
representative works and recordings, resume, and brief description of the
project(s) planned. For residency guidelines, application form, and further
information, please contact:
