We are pleased to invite alumni from all Colburn units (Conservatory, Community School of Performing Arts, Music Academy, and the Trudl Zipper Dance Institute) to submit program proposals for consideration for the 2022-23 Next Up Series. If you have any questions regarding the series, please feel free to reach out to alumni@colburnschool.edu.
Programs will be reviewed and selected by a committee composed of Colburn leadership, Artistic Administration, and the Alumni Office with consultation from faculty across the school. Selected programs will receive a $1,000 grant and may be eligible for loans of recording equipment for project use, pending availability.
The Colburn School will present the selected programs curated by alumni, with opportunities for on-campus and virtual formats, on the following possible dates:
Once selected and notified, alumni will work directly with the Alumni Office to coordinate the performance, including promotional activities and communications with potential presenting or promotional partners. Alumni performers will be expected to promote the program on all channels available to them.
All live performances will be recorded and may be used by the Colburn School in the future as a featured video on our social media channels, in sharing with the board and our donors, or in some other branded capacity. For pre-recorded performances, Colburn will retain a three-month window of exclusivity and may use that video in the future in any capacity.
If you would like to be considered for the Alumni Recital Series, please use the following guidelines and submit your completed proposal as a PDF or Word Document to alumni@colburnschool.edu.
Please carefully review the submission criteria for this cycle below before submitting. All proposals must include all of the listed elements for consideration.
