New Works Project is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization committed to breaking down access barriers in music. Through inclusive commissioning and publishing services, educational programming, and career resources, New Works Project empowers composers, performers, educators, and audiences to connect, collaborate, and create together, fostering an equitable and vibrant music community.

“Our relaunch is about creating pathways for musicians to connect, collaborate, and create,” said Austin McFarland, Executive Director of New Works Project. “We’re breaking down access barriers and building an inclusive, sustainable ecosystem where every voice is valued and celebrated.”

New Works Project invites composers, performers, and music enthusiasts to join a growing movement that celebrates diversity, equity, and artistic collaboration. Together, the organization is creating a world where all voices can thrive in the music industry.

As part of its mission to increase accessibility, we now offer traditional publishing services for composers seeking alternatives to self-publishing. These services provide professional support, greater visibility, and equitable access to broader audiences, ensuring that each piece of music has the chance to make a lasting impact.
