Late Pianist funds Emerging Composer Opportunities

I honestly wasn't aware that pianist Robert DeGaetano had passed away--he actually passed away in late 2015 in Palm Beach.  DeGaetano was a pianist and composer, and evidently had an interest in helping the next generation of composers.

Thanks to a gift from the DeGaetano estate, the Orchestra of St. Luke's is the host for the DeGaetano Composition Institute.  Four composers will have an opportunity for guidance, and to have a work for chamber orchestra premiered by OSL.  

The application period is open, and will close November 7.
