Not gold, exactly, but grants up to $3,000: The Musical Grant Program (MGP) offers awards to chamber music projects created and produced by artists living and working in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Application deadline is Feb. 15, information is available at the website of the sponsoring San Francisco Friends of Chamber Music or by writing to program coordinator Nicole Lungerhausen at [email protected]. Results will be announced mid-April, supported projects start July 1, and they must be completed by June 30, 2015.
Genres include early music, classical, contemporary, improvisation, and jazz. The program is made possible through support from the San Francisco Grants for the Arts/Hotel Tax Fund, the Clarence E. Heller Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and the San Francisco Foundation.
