Touring Grant

Promoting French musicians and ensembles in the U.S. is a core goal of the program. Touring projects will be supported with up to 10,000 dollars, solely for projects confirmed by an American presenting venue.

Project Eligibility

• Tours must include at least 3 shows or public programs (masterclasses are considered);

• Works presented must be composed by living composers.

Priority will be given to:

• Projects involving artists or living composers whose work has rarely been seen in the partner country;

• Projects presented in a minimum of 3 different cities;

• Projects involving new generations of composers;

• Projects involving women artists and/or composers;

• Projects reflecting diversity and inclusion;

• Projects experimenting with new forms of music.

The fund will not support directly individual artists.

• Individual artist or ensemble involved must be French citizens or legal residents for the past five years and currently reside in France or its territories;
