Music of Remembrance has received a $25,000 grant from the National Endowment of the Arts (NEA).
The funding will support the company’s expanded version of Tom Cipulo’s “After Life,” which was originally commissioned and premiered by the company in 2025. The new version is set for performances in Seattle and San Francisco in May 2025.
“This grant helps make it possible for us to create and present music that speaks out with passion and eloquence on urgent questions for today’s world,” said MOR Artistic Director Mina Miller per an official press release. “It also makes an important statement about the significant role that smaller performing arts organizations like Music of Remembrance can play in the nation’s musical life.”
But before “After Life,” the company will present “Art from Ashes” to honor Holocaust Remembrance Day and “Identity” in March.
Last year, the company received a historic $30,000 grant from the NEA for its production of “Before It All Goes Dark,” the largest in its history.
