The Johnny Mercer Foundation Songwriters Project is a weeklong intensive for emerging professional songwriters in all genres held annually each June on the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The highly competitive program attracts applicants from around the world and invites 12 songwriters or songwriting teams to spend a week in residence working with three award-winning professional master teachers. The program honors the legacy of Johnny Mercer by fostering the tradition of mentorship that Johnny was committed to throughout his career. Master teachers have included award-winning artists Craig Carnelia, Marcy Heisler, Jon Lind, Andrew Lippa, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Amanda McBroom, Lari White and David Zippel. The weeklong program culminates in an intimate concert that provides the opportunity for the young writers to share new songs they’ve worked on throughout the week. The program is created in partnership between the American Music Theatre Project at Northwestern University and the Johnny Mercer Foundation.
