- $6,914 spent. iQ Tests is icarus Quartet's capstone educational program, focusing on a season-long collaboration with two scholar composers, culminating in the premiering and recording of two newly written works for the quartet. This program has become a staple call to scores program for young and emerging composers, giving them valuable collaborative experience, premiere concersts, and professionally produced recordings.
- $87,786 spent. Wilderness Suite is a new evening length program involving music by composer Ruby Fulton, videos from eight video artists, all in response to geologic survey work by geologist Teresa Cavazos-Cohn about the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness.
