Journey of the Heart Performance Grant Opportunity Accouncement

Journey of the Heart composer Keith Ferguson is now offering grant support to choral groups & orchestras who feel aligned with presenting meaningful, transformational music within their communities.

Composed in Colorado as an artistic response to collective grief and suffering, Journey of the Heart focuses on:

• the possibility of healing after loss

From Journey of the Heart Composer Keith Ferguson:

"I composed Journey of the Heart to offer a musical space for reflection and healing in the aftermath of profound loss. The work does not retell tragedy, but instead traces a universal journey toward connection, compassion, and hope."
