Beth Morrison Projects

“I first joined the board of Beth Morrison Projects because I believe deeply in the power of live performance. What I found in BMP was something unique: artists using music, theater, and opera to tell urgent contemporary stories in ways that are surprising, moving, and unforgettable. It is such a rare opportunity to be involved with an artist and organization that has truly transformed an art form. BMP’s journey over these past 20 years has taken the music and lyricism of opera to a place never seen or heard before.” (Miles Benickes, Board Chair)

Thanks to the generosity of this community, we are within reach of completing the most ambitious campaign in BMP’s history, with more than $1 million raised toward our $1.3 million goal. Make a gift today at the link in bio, and help BMP continue to bring extraordinary stories – and extraordinary artists – into the world.

“Twenty years ago, I founded Beth Morrison Projects with $200 in the bank, a dream of living in New York, and a belief that a new generation of composers and librettists would help me to create a new kind of opera....This year, two operas commissioned and developed by BMP were nominated for Grammy Awards for Best Opera Recording. Both were written by young women creating their very first operas — artists we supported from the earliest stages of their journeys. That has always been the heart of BMP’s mission: believing in visionary artists before the rest of the world catches up.” (Beth Morrison.)

To celebrate our 20th anniversary, we launched the most ambitious fundraising campaign in our history: a $1.3 million campaign that supports our BMP: Songbook and seeds our Creation Fund which pays for 8 new commissions over the next 4 years. If BMP has ever inspired you, challenged you, moved you, or introduced you to an artist whose work you love, we hope you will consider making a gift today at the link in bio.
