If there is ever a good time to support and celebrate new music, it is now. Through the New Music Fund from New Music NOW, you can make a difference for the composers and creators who are crafting the music of tomorrow, today. Together with our 'Do-It-Together' network—with composers, musicians, programmers, festivals, and music enthusiasts—we are building a growing movement centered on new music.

At the same time, support for composers and new music in the Netherlands is under pressure. This makes initiatives like New Music NOW particularly dependent on people and organisations who believe in the importance of new music and want to contribute to its future.

With your support, we can continue to invest in composers, new productions, visibility and a strong network for creators and audiences. Together, we can build a bright future for new music.
