It’s great to be in the first gang of composers piloting this scheme! Head over to @musicpatronuk to get involved, and maybe consider becoming one of our fab patrons. In return, I’ll be posting insights into the creative process of my opera and creating patron-only goodies!
Kicking off the week with the exciting news that the Music Patron site is officially LIVE in beta! 🎉 Head to musicpatron.com to get to know the Music Patron composers and see what we've been working on for the past year!
