SCBF & Barry Phillips awarded Creative Work Fund grant
Linda Burman-Hall, SCBF Artistic Director and Professor of Music at UCSC, has been awarded a Creative Work Fund collaborative grant for her work with Indian music composer Barry Phillips and Lux Musica, the Baroque Festival’s resident ensemble. Inspired by the largely unrealized potential of the numerous encounters of European and Indian musicians throughout the British Raj, this project seeks to create new music using early music instruments and Indian melodic concepts. The result will be presented as part of the Santa Cruz Baroque Festival’s 2010 concert season. Burman-Hall and Phillips will be honored on November 19th by Creative Work Fund at a reception in San Francisco at the offices of the Mimi and Peter Haas Fund. In addition to the Haas Fund, the Creative Work Fund is supported by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the James Irvine Foundation. This is the first year the Creative Work Fund has been open to Santa Cruz County applicants.
