Description
VSA arts is pleased to launch a call for entries to
identify talented young musicians with disabilities. Four finalists
(two from the United States and two from countries outside the U.S.)
will each be awarded $5,000 and will perform in concert at the John F.
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. in the
spring.
Any individual musician (instrumental or vocal) with a disability, age
25 and under, is eligible to apply. Musical ensembles of two to eight
members will also be accepted for the first time. This includes any
type of ensemble from a rock band to a chamber ensemble to a drum
corps. At least one member of the ensemble must have a disability, and
all members must meet the age requirement. All types of music will be
accepted, including but not limited to rock/alt rock, pop, classical,
country/folk, jazz, R&B/blues, hip hop/rap, latin, world, etc.
A disability is defined as an impairment that substantially limits a
major life activity.
