Will he or she understand the needs of your group? Be easy to work with? Want to get to know how you work so that the new piece can play to your strengths? Write something that your audiences will enjoy but that will stretch your members and provide them with new experiences?

Tried and tested

We can help by putting you in touch with composers who have worked with other Making Music organisations, and give you a taster of the array of works written through our Adopt a Composer scheme. Or the winner of the annual Making Music category of the British Composer Awards, celebrating the premiere of an outstanding work written for amateur performance.

There are other organisations that can help you here too: follow the links below to explore what resources they offer.
