The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music
11/01/17
Grants to USA, Canada, and International colleges and universities for performances of music works by Kurt Weill and Marc Blitzstein. Funding is provided to support general production expenses for stage works, and to cover musical expenses in regards to performances of concert works.
Please note:
- All works must be presented in their authorized versions and orchestrations.
- Performances of Die sieben Todsünden are fundable only in Weill’s original orchestration and keys. (The arrangement for low voice by Brückner-Rüggeberg is thus ineligible.)
- Performances of Kleine Dreigroschenmusik alone are normally not eligible for funding, unless the piece is programmed as part of a group of Weill works.
- Compilation properties consisting of individual Weill or Blitzstein songs do not qualify for support.
- Musical adaptations and proposals in which the music serves in an incidental or background capacity are not eligible for funding.
- Costs for new translations or adaptations of dramatic works are not eligible for funding (although the productions themselves may be).
