Choral Arts New England is excited to announce the opening of the application period for the first David Hoose Commissioning Grant. 

The David Hoose Commissioning Grant honors and continues David’s vision by supporting the commissioning of new choral music with instrumental accompaniment.  The grant is supported by a fund raised by dedicated donors from across the choral community who wish to perpetuate and grow his contributions to choral music.  Choral Arts New England is honored to award this grant.
