OPPORTUNITIES FOR COMPOSERS

Sydney Contemporary Orchestra is a nonprofit organization. It is dedicated to exploring and promoting the new music of contemporary composers. Supported by the SCO Foundation, the Sydney Hills Shire Council, it provides a service for composers who wish to collaborate with other composers to share the costs of getting their works to be performed and video recorded in concert form.

Thanks to the SCO Foundation’s support. Thanks to Dr. Koo’s contributions, and composers’ contributions of collaboration fees.
 
Thanks to our volunteer managers of the SCO Management Committee that enabled us to continue providing services to composers.

The sharing fee covers:

  1. Concert Performance – Selected works will be performed by the Sydney Contemporary Orchestra in Sydney Australia.
  2. Open Rehearsals – Composers are welcome to the open rehearsals to discuss and explain their works;
  3. Video Recording – The recording will be taken during the concerts,
  4. Digital Publishing -The recordings will be published on our website via YouTube, enabling a lasting legacy for personal and/or commercial purposes.
  5. List composers’ names and the works on our website – All recorded works will be listed on our website, one of the largest websites for contemporary composers and contemporary compositions with a high visitor traffic flow.
