Our little guide-that-could is still here, giving composers and commissioners a shared baseline at which to begin their negotiation. It endures as a testament to the vision of Meet The Composer: composing is a profession deserving adequate compensation. nmbx.newmusicusa.org/commiss…

It’s important to use available tools right now to stay connected, so we think it’d be AWESOME if y’all would be interested in hosting your own cyber mini-new music gatherings! Is there a composer you’ve never met but have been jonesing to chat with? (2/7)

"At first, I thought I wasn’t disabled enough in a way. I wasn’t in a wheelchair, so I didn’t want to claim that... But then I realized it’s really an identity for all to claim." We loved interviewing @Molly_Joyce and discussing her creative path! nmbx.newmusicusa.org/molly-j…

Clearly the rituals of the concert stage can seem totally opaque... I love this letter from a poor reader utterly - and creatively - confused by an extra violin left on the stage before the Mahler 4th. (It’s actually there for the solo requiring alternate tuning!)
