Frank B. Epstein Commissioning Fund

In honor of Collage Founder Frank Epstein’s retirement from Collage New Music after 52 years, Collage has created the Frank B. Epstein Commissioning Fund. The $45,000 fund honors the immeasurable impact of Frank Epstein’s vision and legacy at Collage New Music. This fund supports the creation of new work for Collage to premiere for years to come, continuing Frank’s vision into the next half century.

We are tremendously grateful to Collage’s family of supporters who have stepped up to be Founding Sponsors of this fund. Their names will be recognized in the scores alongside Frank’s and on our website. Collage is accepting additional Founding Sponsors until July 1, 2025. Please inquire with us about how to become part of this initiative.

After July, Collage will begin adding names of Sustaining Sponsors to the fund in its mission to keep the fund growing and alive for the next fifty years and more.
