Overview
This campaign was created to raise the last funds for the completion of a 7-year repertoire project aimed to aide and educate percussionists in the development of some of our most important works for contemporary percussion, as well as to feature new pieces in our ever-growing repertoire. I need to raise $12,500 to pay musicians, recording engineers, and videographers.

Short Summary

 

  • My name is Garrett, and I'm a US based percussionist specializing in contemporary solo and small ensemble performance.
  • This campaign is important for me because I would like to see this project realized to it's fullest potential. Just as well, I need to be able to pay my fellow musicians for their work, and to fund high quality recordings.
  • This project will provide percussionists the world over with greater perspective and more options as they begin learning some of our repertoire's most challenging works.

What We Need & What You Get

Break it down for folks in more detail:

  • The fundraising goal is $12,500
  • Break-down of funds:

$3,000 for a flat rate hire of the audio/visual engineering team that will capture the final performances.

$3,000 for paying my chamber music collaborators and in some instances their travel for the remainder of the project. 

$5,000 for the assembling of a large chamber orchestra for the year of 2018 to record two percussion concerti for the project. I will apply for a grant in order to fund three more concerti that I will be recording before my project's completion

$1,500 for miscellaneous expenses which include, but are not limited to:

- minor instrument repairs

- music rental and printing costs (for the concerti, and for select chamber works that must be rented)

- hall rentals for performance recordings.

  • If I do not raise the necessary funds to realize the remainder of my project, I will pay my musicians and engineers for the work they have put in.

The Impact

  • Today, there exist very few accessible resources for learning contemporary solo and chamber percussion works. With this project I hope to contribute an extensive online resource for learning some of our major works for solo percussion and small ensemble.
