The Norfolk Chamber Music Festival/ Yale Summer School of Music has been awarded $5,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) to fund "Project Access," a comprehensive community outreach initiative designed to bring the festival's artistic resources to communities throughout Connecticut and the surrounding regions. The grant will provide support for the continuation of the festival's "Community Concerts," which are held for audiences throughout the state. The funds will also be used for "Musical Conversations," a series of free and informal pre-concert talks, and a "Discovery Series" of participatory workshops and demonstrations, as well as the "Open Rehearsals," "Young Artists Recitals" and "Indian Summer" programs. The monies will also fund a new "Kids Come Free!" program that will begin in the summer of 1998. Earlier this year, the festival received $7,000 from Meet the Composer and the NEA to commission a chamber music piece from composer Chris Theofanides.
