Suomen Säveltäjäin Sibelius-rahasto supports the creation of contemporary Finnish art music and the economic stability of composers. It primarily funds individual composers working on concert and chamber music, as well as lyricists and librettists through its Pegasos grants, and it also supports commissioned works and some church music composition. The fund is distinctive for backing both the composing process and the broader ecosystem around new music, especially operatic and chamber-music collaborations.
Annual, application-based grantmaking with one main window each year in October. Grants include working stipends and commission support, with amounts ranging roughly from $1,500 to $26,000, and decisions are announced after the deadline period.
Apply during the annual October 1–31 window through the composers.fi/Sibelius-rahasto process. Strong applications should clearly show a Finnish creative music project, such as a composition, commission, libretto, or lyric-writing assignment; eligibility appears centered on composers and related creators working in Finland.
