Young Audiences/New York, Inc. (aka yaNY) $10,000 New York, NY To support a series of performances based on Ralph Ellison's literature, and related activities.

All performances will take place at Harlem Stage, including offerings for the public and for students. Additional project activities will include discussion forums, art residencies teaching monologue writing in participating schools. The events will be free and open to the public, and feature guest artist Lemon Andersen, a performance artist, playwright, and actor. Youth Orchestras of Fresno $10,000 Fresno, CA To support the commissioning of "Coming Home," a large-scale orchestral inspired by the work of Fresno native William Saroyan. Composers will incorporate audience members' stories of home into the final full-orchestra performance. Exploring the meaning of home pieces will be composed for breakout performances in nontraditional spaces, giving accessibility for different audiences to engage and interact. The culminating event will incorporate collected and recorded stories about home, including immigrant experiences gathered from the preceding breakout performances, which will be weaved into the final performance. Youth Orchestras of San Antonio (aka YOSA) $10,000 San Antonio, TX To support Mozart at the Opera. Soprano Blake Hill and baritone Zachary Gordin will visit local high school choirs to work with student singers and invite them to the culminating concert, with a focus on underserved, economically disadvantaged schools in the San Antonio area. Additional project activities will include choir residencies at local high schools, reaching at-risk students. The final concert will feature the guest soloists with the Youth Orchestra of San Antonio. Selections from "The Magic Flute," "The Marriage of Figaro," "Don Giovanni," and Cesar Franck's "Symphony in D minor" will be performed.
