This project is supported in part by funding from the Mississippi Arts Commission, a state agency, and in part from the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency.
We deeply appreciate the corporate sponsorship provided this year by Steinway Piano Gallery of Spanish Fort, Alabama, Amro Music in Memphis, Tennessee, and Landrum Piano Gallery of Ridgeland, Mississippi.
The 2025 commissioned work is funded by Music Teachers National Association and Mississippi Music Teachers Association.
