Project Partners

A Project Partner may be a Composer, Solo Musician, Ensemble, or a Presenter. If your project involves a Project Partner, it is important to know exactly whom you plan to collaborate with before you apply to the MGP. Your Project Partner is considered a co-applicant, must meet eligibility requirements, and must agree to the proposed project. Primary applicants and Project partners can not appear on other separate applications.

Examples of Project Partners:

An ENSEMBLE applying to commission a Bay Area COMPOSER. (The COMPOSER is the Project Partner).

A PRESENTER applying to support an ENSEMBLE performance or multiple performances in their concert series or festival. (The ENSEMBLE would be a Project Partner.)

A COMPOSER applying to compose a work for an ENSEMBLE (The Ensemble and Composer are effectively interchangeable as project partners. One is the primary applicant.

A SOLO MUSICIAN working with another SOLO MUSICIAN or ENSEMBLE. In some cases where the individual is a distinctly identified member of the ensemble (Ex., Yo-yo Ma & Friends), the individual is a project partner and thus may not be a co-applicant in other MGP applications (similar to a composer as a project partner).

NB: All projects must involve a small ensemble (defined as “a group of two or more musical performers – instrumentalists or singers – interacting in real time – each playing one on a part, usually without a conductor.”)

A venue is not usually considered a PRESENTER project partner except when the grant funding would largely support or subsidize the expenses of their curated presentation, such as paying musicians to be perform in a festival or concert series.
