ISM uses crowd-funding for Sistema England commission

The Incorporated Society of Musicians (ISM) is planning to commission a new work from by Kirsty Devaney, a young composer based in Birmingham, to be premiered at ISM's annual conference in Birmingham on 16 April 2014. The work, for strings and percussion, will be performed young musicians who are part of the In Harmony projects in Liverpool and Telford & Stoke-on-Trent supported by Sistema England. To help fund the new commission and put on the concert, the ISM has turned to crowd-funding to raise the £5,000 necessary. This is both a wonderful opportunity for the young musicians who will premiere the piece, and great exposure for the work of In Harmony. You can support the appeal at the dedicated page.
