Programs

  • The Productions Program

    PRODUCTIONS: Opportunities (sporadically) for artists to present fully-staged productions of music-theater works, including premieres of new work we have developed and supported, or innovative productions of existing operas and musicals. In FY22 we were able to present two fully-staged productions: STATIONS OF THE HEART and MOONLIT WALK HOME, presented under COVID restrictions. Both productions had been planned earlier but postponed due to the pandemic.

  • Artist Development Program

    ARTIST DEVELOPMENT: Ongoing training and development of music-theater artists including writers, composers, performers and directors. These programs usually include our 3-week long Wesley Balk Institute, two offerings of our Composer-Librettist Studio, and other classes and workshops. Because of the pandemic in FY20, the Balk Institute and Composer-Librettist Studios were cancelled. We took advantage of the lull to continue work on our Genome Project, archiving scores, programs, and other documents of past projects. In FY21, the Balk Institute was converted to a hybrid online/in-person format. In FY22, the Institute returned to in-person sessions, but the Composer-Librettist Studio, needing more lead time, was delayed until FY23
