Consortium Details
A consortium is when a group of people join together to support a new music project. Consortium Performance Members are the first group that can perform the new work and introduce it to the world. Consortium Support Members can take pride in the fact that this piece of music would not exist without their contribution!
Thank you for your interest in supporting this project to orchestrate this work for Contrabass Trombone!

This work is dedicated to Jeffrey Reynolds, Bass and Contrabass Trombonist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic (retired) and an inspiration for generations of musicians.

PERFORMANCE Consortium Members will Receive:
-
Your name will be listed as a Consortium Member and an Orchestration Consortium Member on the score.
-
A single performance(series) with a single entity. Entity defined as a Symphony Orchestra/Concert Band you make performance arrangements with. This is standard practice where the entity (Symphony Orchestra/Concert Band) purchases or rents the parts for the performance directly from the composer. This offer does not have an expiration. After the performance with the entity of your choice is completed, future performances (for Symphony/Concert Band) with different entities will need to make arrangements to get the parts from Nicole Buetti.
-
When you have been booked to perform the piece with an ensemble, please provide the name of the ensemble and date of the performance. Nicole's Company - Goes to Eleven Media - will reach out to the orchestra/band with a special coupon code that will allow them a complimentary copy of the Score and Parts (PDF form) for your performance. (For additional performances, please refer the ensemble to Nicole's website for purchase of score and parts.)
