In honor of the May Festival’s storied history of commissioning new works, the May Festival is proud to collaborate with Luna Composition Lab, a fellowship program that provides mentorship and performance opportunities to young composers who are female, non-binary or gender nonconforming, to commission twenty-five new choral works for and to be premiered by choral ensembles across Greater Cincinnati.

25 for 25 is supported through a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
