Adopt a Music Creator

The Adopt a Music Creator scheme (formally Adopt A Composer) pairs member groups with music creators for one year, with each pair working collaboratively to create a unique new work. The music creator has the opportunity to get to know a performing group and write a piece especially for them to premiere. The group has the chance to contribute to the creation of a new work by some of the UK’s most promising composers. Pieces that are composed are usually around ten minutes long (as a very rough approximation) and are usually written to work around your existing repertoire and schedule.

Adopt a Music Creator is funded by PRS Foundation, the Philip and Dorothy Green Trust and Creative Scotland and run by Making Music, in association with Sound and Music and BBC Radio 3.
