CoLABoratory Fellowships advance the work of composers whose work is experimental and/or rooted in musical traditions underrepresented in the orchestral repertoire. CoLABoratory addresses systemic barriers within orchestral commissioning, providing a gateway to the field and a generative environment for composers from any and all musical backgrounds to create definition-expanding works for orchestra. Instead of providing a written score, composers submit an idea that is developed in partnership with the orchestra through an artist-led process. Fellowships include:
- Collaborative sessions with performers to workshop musical ideas and foster co-learning over 12 months;
- Readings and public performances of the resulting work;
- Opportunities for the composer to engage in artistic curation, educational programming and community-focused program design;
- and Recruitment of partner orchestras to drive future performances and consortium commissions
