The Kurt Weill Foundation sponsors a Kurt Weill/Lotte Lenya Artist with the College Light Opera Company in Cape Cod, MA. The Foundation provides funding for a performer on the roster of CLOC's summer musical theater festival who has been selected from previous finalists, semi-finalists, or winners of Emerging Talent Awards of the Lotte Lenya Competition.
In collaboration with the internationally renowned Glimmerglass Festival, the Kurt Weill Foundation sponsors a Kurt Weill/Lotte Lenya Glimmerglass Young Artist who has previously reached the finals of the Lotte Lenya Competition. Each season the Young Artist is selected by Glimmerglass Festival administration in consultation with the Kurt Weill Foundation. As of 2016, the Foundation has expanded the program to include sponsorship of a Kurt Weill/Lotte Lenya Artist, a designation reserved for principal guest artists at the Glimmerglass Festival who have earned a Prize in a previous Lenya Competition.
The Julius Rudel/Kurt Weill Conducting Fellowship supports one or more conductors in the early stages of a professional career who are interested in assisting a master conductor in the preparation of a performance or production of the works of Kurt Weill and/or Marc Blitzstein.
Established in 2013 by the Kurt Weill Foundation for Music, the Kurt Weill Fellowship offers an opportunity for emerging and mid-career directors who are members or associate members of the Stage Directors and Choreographers Society to assist a master director on a stage work of Kurt Weill or Marc Blitzstein. Through these Fellowships, directors will gain first-hand experience with the processes and specific approaches of master artists and thereby expand their own artistry, enrich leadership and collaboration skills, and further their knowledge of directing opera and/or musical theater. In addition, the Fellow will acquire greater understanding of and comfort level with Kurt Weill’s and Marc Blitzstein’s theatrical catalogue and an ability to draw on this in future work.
