Contemporary Music
In the field of contemporary music, we understand our publishing work as a long-term collaboration with composers. Therefore, please refrain from submitting individual works.
We are interested in composers who have already established a substantial and diverse body of work. Manuscript submissions should therefore always be presented in the context of the composer’s previous work and include a comprehensive overview of their entire body of work, as well as details of performances by professional ensembles.
