Congrats to Weathervane Music for being awarded the annual General Operating grant from the Philadelphia Cultural Fund (PCF)! Being one of the few music-focused cultural institutions chosen for the 2012 award, the organization has joined the ranks of such esteemed past winners as the Curtis Institute of Music, the Opera Company of Philadelphia, and Temple University’s Music Preparatory Division to name a few.
“This really confirms our belief that the City of Philadelphia cares about music and the creative economy, and that we are in THE RIGHT CITY to do this! It’s reassuring that others see the value in what Weathervane Music provides for musicians and audiences from around the world,” states Brian McTear, Executive Director, Weathervane Music. “We are eager to use this money to further our mission of creating community, opportunity, and resources that advance the careers of musicians, while creating a healthier music ecosystem.”
Cheers to Weathervane Music for a job well done!
