Yellow Barn Residencies provide the unique opportunity for musicians to develop projects of their own choosing in an environment conducive to undistracted study. Residencies are open to musicians of any age and at any stage of their career.

All residencies are fully subsidized at no cost to resident musicians, and support:

1. The exploration and preparation of repertoire for performance. Musicians may choose to work independently or with mentoring artists and scholars during their residency.

2. Collaborative projects which bring together performers, composers and other artists.

3. Opportunities for public performance and participation in outreach activities within the local community.

Musicians selected for this program will consult with Yellow Barn's Artistic Director to determine the length and shape of the residency in a way that will most meaningfully address the goals of each participating musician or ensemble.

Applications will be accepted from chamber music ensembles and individual musicians interested in pursuing either independent or collaborative projects. To apply for residencies intended to develop collaborative projects, applications should be made by one designated member of the project.

Location and Accomodations:

The 2010 - 2011 Yellow Barn Residencies will be held in Putney, Vermont, an historic village in southeastern Vermont. Rehearsal facilities are located on our summer campus at the Greenwood School, just above the village. Housing will be provided within the local community. Meals will be provided for on the Greenwood School campus.
