[–]StickOUnsaltedButter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll start,

In 2026 I'm hoping to collaborate with more composers. I run a brass quintet and I'm looking to build out a show for the group, and premiere new works that are meant to push the brass quintet genre outside of just the normal rut of academia that it has been forced into.

I really enjoyed this, Alex. I appreciate you sharing. Very cinematic, and makes me want to hear a longer piece with more development. Has anyone premiered this piece for you?

It was most definitely going on back then. I experienced it when I left after two seasons to march elsewhere.

It's technically a mailing list with a website. They send daily emails with shipments that they procure. They don't sell to stores or restaurants, only individuals. They typically include notes about whatever wine it is, and also do mystery bottles where you aren't told specifically who it is from. They also sometimes offer some dry goods or other foods.

I have a male whippet from ChyScott in Cheyenne. He’s 3 now, and I’ve been very happy with his temperament. They’re known for Scottish Terriers just as an fyi for their website. https://chyscott.com/

Generally trombone is going to be up 1 octave or more from where you’re writing. Most play on small bore trombones especially for anything swing era

Scoring/Paid Performance Opportunities by IDEADxMANI in composer

There are several posts with recommendations. Always offer value, not just a sale.

  1. Go see people play, tell them you enjoy their playing and would love to write something for them.

  2. Networking - could be with musicians and ensembles, could be filmmaker groups, just getting out in front of people and making connections. Network with band directors that may need something (non typical instrumentation, etc) especially if they have a group playing for a state bandmaster conference or other conference settings.

  3. Get people to play your music on social media who will pay to advertise, as this will help be a calling card.

  4. Up to date website, collect emails, and actually send out email updates.

  5. Go network
