New Commissioning Models

From joint commissions to Kickstarter, the 21st century has brought  new ways of hiring composers to write music. This week, we’ll look at  some of the more unusual and innovative methods and the music that  resulted and we’ll chat with NewMusicUSA’s Frank J. Oteri and Scott  Winship.
