Programs
Virtual Artist Partnerships Program (VAPP)
Virtual Artist Partnerships Program (VAPP) connects emerging composers with emerging performers to create new solo and duo works for public premieres. Hosted exclusively through the virtual medium, artists not only broaden their community, meeting peers outside of their immediate network without significant carbon emissions, but also receive expert mentorship throughout a months-long collaborative process. New in 2021! Learn more.
Bahlest Eeble Readings
Bahlest Eeble Readings (Boontling for "most excellent eyeball/study") is a creative lab over approximately twelve months that gives emerging composers readings of their new works while in progress. Composers accepted by competitive application into the program are mentored by master performers and Gabriela through in-person residencies and virtual interactions, while also learning about community and climate citizenship.

Alumni Support Initiative (ASI)
The Alumni Support Initiative (ASI), available to composers who have come through the Bahlest Eeble Readings, has the goal of supporting our talented alumni’s activities as they renew their pledge to their craft and their community. Through commission opportunities, orchestra readings-to-premieres programs, curated performances, and more, we are committed to investing deeply in our alums’ futures. Learn more.
