NMC Recordings is delighted to be the digital partner in the PRS for Music Foundation New Music 20x12 Cultural Olympiad project. As a charity we are dedicated to promoting and preserving new music and proud to include these 20 new commissions in our ever-growing catalogue of the best of both emerging and established composers in Britain.
Each New Music 20x12 piece encompasses an exciting range of composers and music genres and offers a snapshot of the UK’s rich musical life, from jazz, folk and music for brass band to contemporary classical, chamber opera and music written for dance. The works take inspiration from the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games – endeavour, celebration, achievement and collaboration.
All tracks will be released throughout 2012 as single downloads in digital mp3 (£0.79p) and FLAC (£0.89p) format.
They will be available to purchase from the NMC online store and via our worldwide network of digital distributors, including iTunes and Amazon.
Visit the NMC New Music 20x12 mini-site for details on all 20 works.
