about

Since 2012, Fifth House Ensemble's Fresh Inc Festival has helped emerging artists envision and launch their own authentic careers in music, rooted in genre-defying collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and new dialogues with audiences and community. The festival's Fresh Voices program was created to provide dedicated scholarship support to Fresh Inc festival participants who are female, artists of color, and/or LGBTQ-identified, filling an industry-wide need to amplify voices under-represented by major institutions. It's also a snapshot of the myriad approaches to music-making in today's world, featuring works based on improvisation, electronics, and more - and a chance to empower some of the freshest young voices amongst us.

Fresh Voices is supported by a grant from the Elizabeth F. Cheney Foundation.
