new works for multiple premieres by multiple orchestras during the 2005-2006
concert season as part of each orchestra's subscription series. Participating
orchestras include the Boston Classical Orchestra, Boston Landmarks Orchestra,
Cambridge Symphony, Indian Hill Orchestra, Symphony by the Sea, Vermont Symphony
and the Waltham Philharmonic. Composers have been selected.

Composer Residency at the Little House (Federated
Dorchester Neighborhood, Inc’s after-school program)
Twice a week, the composer works with 10-15 children 8-12 years old to create
instruments and new music on the theme of Music is Everywhere.
In addition the composer will
create a new music composition for a professional ensemble
that will be inspired by and in response to his or her work
with the students. The music created in this residency will
have performances at Little House’s Annual Fundraiser
and Federated Dorchester Neighborhood Houses’ Special
Event. Composer has been selected.

Faith Partners Composer Residency
This special type of community outreach project reinvigorates
sacred music and reintroduces composers into religious settings
where they have historically flourished. In this collaboration
between one Jewish congregation and one predominantly African-American
Christian congregation the music directors of each site together
choose one resident composer from the ACF New England candidates. The
selected composer works with the music directors and the choirs
over the course of a year in many different ways including
careful text selection and appropriate musical settings that
feature the ensembles’ strengths.
In addition, the composer participates in congregational
activities including talking to adult and youth study groups,
attending social and religious activities, and addressing
the congregation on what it means to be a composer, describing
his or her creative process, and how that particular congregation
has influenced musical choices for the works being composed.
This will be the third Faith Partners project in Boston and
is emblematic of ACF New England’s efforts to build bridges
between composers and communities. Composer has been selected.
