April is Jazz Appreciation Month<br />
Through the years, the Music Performance Trust Fund (MPTF) has partnered<br />
with the Smithsonian Institution to present jazz performances. Jazz<br />
Appreciation Month (JAM) was created to be an annual event that would pay<br />
tribute to jazz as both a living and as historic music. Schools, organizations<br />
and even governments celebrate JAM with events ranging from free concerts to<br />
educational programs. Established in 2001, the program was initially funded by<br />
the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation.<br />
The MPTF is once again proud to act as a co-sponsor for these events. They<br />
will fund up to 50% <strong>of</strong> the total cost <strong>of</strong> a JAM program. This is a great way to<br />
showcase emerging artists in our community as well as our CFM musicians.<br />
How do you get funding First, you need to find a presenter that will co-pay<br />
a performance <strong>of</strong> jazz music. It must be a non-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it business and the<br />
performance must be free and open to the public. Call Gwen at the CFM to get<br />
a request form. Complete the form and send it to the CFM along with a letter<br />
from the presenter asking for the performance. Once we receive the request,<br />
we will send it <strong>of</strong>f to the MPTF for their consideration.<br />
Remember, the performances must be performed in April <strong>of</strong> 2013. Jazz<br />
concerts as well as educational jazz programs will qualify for funding. If you<br />
have any questions on the procedure, don’t hesitate in giving me or Gwen<br />
a call.<br />

The <strong>Chicago</strong> Sinfonietta instituted two programs in 2008,<br />
The Project Inclusion Orchestra Fellow (PIOF) and the<br />
Project Inclusion Ensemble (PIE) with the mission <strong>of</strong><br />
promoting diversity and inclusion in classical music and to<br />
add significantly to the orchestra’s ability to differentiate<br />
itself from all other orchestras in the United States.<br />
PIO Fellows are awarded fellowships that provide<br />
opportunities for participants to rehearse and perform with<br />
the orchestra, receive mentoring, and prepare auditions for<br />
future employment.<br />
PIE fellowships provide opportunities for participants to<br />
receive ensemble performance coaching, mentoring and<br />
small ensemble performance opportunities.<br />
The program manager for both organizations is<br />
Rene´e Baker.<br />
