Opportunity Information: Apply for P19AS00190
The National Symphony Orchestra Capitol Concerts Series (Funding Opportunity Number P19AS00190) is a Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement tied to the agency's cultural affairs and arts mission (CFDA 15.946). The core purpose is to support an annual set of National Symphony Orchestra performances on the United States Capitol Grounds, offered free to the public and carried out under the conditions set by the Architect of the Capitol. The opportunity is framed as a sponsorship arrangement for a recurring concert series, with an emphasis on broad public access and high-visibility programming in a nationally significant historic setting.
The project goals focus on maximizing public reach and civic impact through multiple distribution channels. Key concerts associated with Memorial Day and Independence Day are intended to be experienced not only in person, but also through a public service television broadcast and worldwide streaming, including to members of the U.S. military. By staging these performances on prominent historic property, the program is designed to do more than present music: it aims to elevate public awareness and understanding of historic preservation and stewardship, reinforcing support for protecting the nation's natural, cultural, and historical heritage.
The project objectives specify the scope and limits of what is being supported. Under the agreement, the NPS sponsors a series of up to four National Symphony Orchestra concerts each year on the Capitol Grounds. The concerts must remain free to the public and must comply with logistical, operational, and site-use requirements established by the Architect of the Capitol. The authority for NPS involvement is explicitly tied to H.R. Con. Res. 133 (97th Congress), enacted as Public Law citation 95 Stat. 1760 (1981), which permits the NPS role described in the notice.
From an administrative standpoint, this listing is not an open solicitation. It is labeled as a non-competitive Notice of Intent, meaning no applications are being accepted and the agency is not seeking competing proposals at this time. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $528,000. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," with the implication that eligibility is defined by additional guidance in the full notice, but the non-competitive structure signals that the intended recipient is likely predetermined for this specific concert partnership.
In practical terms, this notice communicates that the NPS plans to continue supporting a long-running, nationally recognized concert tradition on the Capitol Grounds, using a cooperative agreement structure to deliver free public performances with nationwide and global broadcast reach, while also advancing public education and support for preservation and stewardship through the visibility of the venue and the scale of the audience.Apply for P19AS00190
