Description
Albertine Music is a grant program designed to foster collaboration between French and American artists and ensembles in jazz and classical music, ranging from Baroque to contemporary. The program supports new musical creations, educational and artistic exchanges, and international performances. It is structured around three key areas: creation (new works and commissions), education (master classes, workshops, residencies), and performing (tours and concerts). The initiative aims to deepen musical dialogue, promote diversity and inclusion, and broaden access to music education, including outreach to younger audiences and French language immersion in U.S. public schools. Selection is overseen by dedicated juries for jazz and classical music.
