You Get What You Pay For

The Cleveland Chamber Symphony has come up with a unique way to fund a major new commission – it’s offered to pay composer Dennis Eberhard by the measure, and just to make things interesting, “individuals and organizations may purchase one or more measures of Eberhard’s score for $25 apiece… Contributors to the commissioning project will receive a printed copy of their measure or measures, and they will be invited to a gala premiere celebration. In addition, they will have a chance to meet with Eberhard while he is composing the work to discuss its development.”
