From a press release:
Chamber Music America Responds to NEA Funding Rescissions with New Grant Program.
Together with the Sewell Family Foundation, CMA will provide $75,000 to organizations and ensembles that have lost federal funding.
… “We are thrilled to partner with Chamber Music America in offering these grants at this critical time for artists and arts organizations,” says Laura Sewell, President of the Sewell Family Foundation and a renowned cellist and former Board Chair of Chamber Music America. “With CMA’s decades of experience and stellar reputation in the field of grant-making, coupled with its ability to nationally publicize this new initiative, our foundation’s contribution to this effort would help reach a larger number of artists and organizations who have been affected by the recent NEA rescissions. My family had been looking for an appropriate way to honor the recent passing of my father, Fred Sewell, a 1954 graduate of the Curtis Institute of Music who was a wonderful violinist and chamber musician. This is a grant program of which he would have been particularly proud.”
The Sewell Family Foundation has previously supported CMA with funding for the Guarneri String Quartet Residency through its Residency Partnership Program. Among the recipients were the Cavani, Miró, Daedalus, Marian Anderson, Parker, and Dalì String Quartets.
