Bravo! Vail receives $10,000 national grant

The Bravo! Vail Music Festival has been approved for a $10,000 Grants for Arts Projects award to support the first full year of its New Works Symphonic Commissioning Project.

Through this project, three new commissioned works by Chris Rogerson, Katherine Balch and Carlos Simon will receive premiere performances at the 2022 Bravo! Vail Music Festival by The Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic respectively. Bravo! Vail’s project is among 1,248 projects across America, totaling $28,840,000, that were selected to receive this first round of fiscal year 2022 funding in the Grants for Arts Projects category.

“The National Endowment for the Arts is proud to support arts projects like this one from the Bravo! Vail Music Festival that help support the community’s creative economy,” said NEA Acting Chair Ann Eilers. “Bravo! Vail is among the arts organizations nationwide that are using the arts as a source of strength, a path to well-being, and providing access and opportunity for people to connect and find joy through the arts.”
