Imagine turning your passion for music into a movement—one that commissions new works, builds connections, and empowers composers. Through fundraising-based consortiums, you can make that vision a reality. New Works Project believes commissioning music is more than creating new works; it’s about fostering collaboration, innovation, and opportunity within the music community. Here’s how fundraising-based participation can elevate your musical journey.
Why Fundraising Matters in a Consortium
Fundraising transforms participation into a community effort, where the support of friends, family, and colleagues amplifies the impact of your contribution. It democratizes the commissioning process, making it accessible to musicians and organizations of all backgrounds and financial means.
Key Benefits of Fundraising-Based Participation
Broadened Accessibility
Fundraising lowers financial barriers, enabling more musicians and ensembles to join in commissioning new works. This inclusivity enriches the repertoire with diverse voices and perspectives.
Building Community
When you invite others to support your campaign, you’re creating a shared sense of purpose. Each contribution represents a collective investment in the future of music.
Personal Rewards
Beyond supporting a new work, participants receive tangible benefits:
By the 50% funding deadline, we assess the viability of the project.
At 75% funding, members receive a digital or print copy of the piece.
At 100% funding, all participants enjoy an exclusivity period, granting unique performance rights.
Supporting Composers
Fundraising ensures composers are fairly compensated, allowing them to focus on creativity and innovation without financial constraints.
Professional Growth
Joining a consortium connects you with a network of like-minded musicians and organizations. These connections can lead to exciting collaborations, new performance opportunities, and professional development.
