The National Endowment for the Arts has approved a $30,000 Grants for Arts Projects award to the Department of Music to support a musical response to Freedom on the Move (FOTM), a database housing digitized, searchable fugitive slave advertisements. The grant, co-written by Lucy Fitz Gibbon, interim director of the Vocal Program, and Martha Guth, Ithaca College, will provide foundational support for Freedom on the Move: Songs in Flight, an ambitious musical project commissioned and administered by the art song organization Sparks & Wiry Cries, resulting in the premiere and subsequent performance tour of two major works.
