Commissioning Uncovered
Commissioning Uncovered is a Making Music project run in association with the Performing Right Society Foundation.
The project provides an online source of information about the process of commissioning new musical works, as well as a series of databases to make commissioning easier.
PRS for Music Foundation
As a funder of new music, especially of commissions, PRS for Music Foundation dedicate over £150,000 directly to commissions every year through the Awards for New Works www.prsformusicfoundation.com/funding/newworks.htm.
Other schemes can also help to 'top up' commission fees directly to composers www.prsformusicfoundation.com/funding/bursaries.htm.
