Grant from American Composers Forum Brings Scully to Boston for Performances and Recording Sessions

Jim Scully

Jim Scully, Lecturer in the Music Department at California State University, Bakersfield has been awarded a Subito Grant from American Composers Forum (http://www.composersforum.org/) to travel to Boston and have two of his most recent compositions recorded by the artists that commissioned the works. The grant will help pay for Scully to travel to Boston, record the works in a pair of world-class studios in the Boston metro area and produce a concert of his work at the Lilypad (http://www.lily-pad.net/) in Cambridge, Massachusetts on August 7, 2010.

In the fall of 2009, Scully composed Duplicitous Encounter at the request of Bostonians Rachel Arnold (cello) and Ashley Addington (flute) and Sonata for Guitar at the request of New Jersey guitarist Dr. Keith Calmes. Both pieces received premiers in the winter of 2010 and have been performed extensively since.
