Boudleaux Bryant Commissions
for classical composers

The Boudleaux Bryant Commissioning Program funds the creation of new chamber works by former winners of the BMI Student Composer Awards. Awarded on a regular basis, these commissions were established through the generosity of the family and friends of the late celebrated songwriter, Boudleaux Bryant, who wrote such hits as All I Have To Do Is Dream and Bye Bye Love. Mr. Bryant began his career as a classical violinist, and therefore the commissioned works must feature a violin part in his honor.

For each commission, the BMI Foundation chooses a prominent contemporary music performer or organization and they in turn select a former BMI Student Composer Award-winning composer to write the commissioned work. The first BMI Foundation/Boudleaux Bryant Fund Commission was written for the renowned contemporary chamber music group, eighth blackbird.
