Help Us Build the Future of Music

Join Us in Creating a Groundbreaking New Music Cooperative

New Works Project is on a mission to revolutionize the music industry by building a first-of-its-kind commissioning and publishing cooperative. This initiative is designed to make the creation of new music accessible to everyone while also giving composers, performers, and educators, the tools, opportunities, and connections they need to thrive

Our goal is to raise $10,000 to launch this cooperative, and we need your support to make it happen. Your contribution will help fund essential infrastructure, operating costs, and initiatives that support our community of music creators. Together, we can build a more inclusive, accessible, and innovative music ecosystem.

Why This Matters For far too long, the process of commissioning and publishing music has been exclusive and costly. New Works Project is changing that. This cooperative is a space where everyone — composers, performers, educators, and enthusiasts — can connect, collaborate, and create.

Composers: Pitch your projects, receive fair pay for your work, and have access to publishing services that increase visibility for your music.
Performers: Be part of commissioning projects designed to fit your unique needs, access exclusive performance rights, and gain entry to a supportive network of like-minded musicians.
Educators: Create custom projects for your ensembles, access innovative music resources, and build relationships with today's composers.
Music Enthusiasts: Support the creation of new music, champion equity and inclusion in the arts, and see your impact through exclusive updates and behind-the-scenes access.

How Your Support Makes a Difference

Empowering Composers – Provide living wages and publishing support for composers from all backgrounds.
Expanding Performance Opportunities – Enable performers to access diverse, new works for solo and ensemble performances.
