Our Story

From day one, New Works Project has been about one thing: empowering musicians and composers. For the past ten years, we’ve worked to break down barriers and create opportunities for artists—especially those who have been overlooked. But access to resources, representation, and recognition is still out of reach for too many talented musicians.
 

That’s why we’re evolving. New Works Project is now a community cooperative, where composers, performers, and educators connect, collaborate, and grow through professional development, mentorship, and networking. To sustain this creative ecosystem, we provide commissioning, publishing, and distribution services, ensuring that new music continues to be created and shared. And in 2025, we’re launching a dedicated online platform designed to foster even deeper collaboration—without distractions, but full of inspiration.
 

This next chapter is about you. Whether you’re a composer, performer, educator, or music lover, you have a place here. Together, we’re building a future where every artist has access, opportunity, and a voice. Let’s shape the next decade of music—and create without limits.
