The final results of the call for applications for the "Composing Commissions" programme are available on the website of the Institute of Music and Dance. In total, the programme will support 96 projects worth PLN 2,780,210.
Implemented by the Institute of Music and Dance, the programme of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage "Composing commissions" is the first project in Poland which systemically supports latest musical production. The programme annually endorses approximately one hundred new pieces by Polish and foreign composers, enabling a wide audience to access valuable contemporary music compositions. The programme implements projects representing a wide array of genres, from the so-called contemporary classical music and music theatre performances through pieces combining different musical genres (e.g. popular and traditional music) and interdisciplinary projects verging on music, performing and visual arts. The music created thanks to Composing commissions is intended to resound not only in major concert halls, where it will add to the latest chapter of artistic music, but also in minor centres and among non-specialist audiences, acting as an important vessel of artistic education.
A full list of applications for the 9th edition of the programme, considered positive, negative or rejected due to formal errors, is available on the website of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in the MKiDN 2020 Programmes tab – "Composing Commissions" and on the website of the Institute of Music and Dance in the section Documents to download.
