with Sine Tofte Hannibal (Denmark), general manager, Danish Composers Society;
Jørgen Karlstrøm (Norway), executive chairman, Norwegian Society of Composers
Commissioning involves many parties including commissioners, performers, programmers, publishers, funding agencies and composers. They begin with a shared vision of the responsibilities of all parties with clear and comprehensive communication. From operas to sound installations, the visions of composers around the globe are leading classical music into the future and ensuring its relevance. When the health of commissioning is tied to the future of classical music, how can a Fair Practice Code support all parties?
In this session we will discuss the key elements of Fair Practice including commission fees and royalties and the effect they have on gender balance in radio, streaming and repertoire diversity; freelance musicians' conditions that have been further affected by the pandemic; streaming and how it effects diversity, cultural development and the preservation of cultural heritages.
