£25,000 to help amateur groups Adopt a Composer

Following eight highly successful years, the Adopt a Composer scheme is to continue in 2009-2010, thanks to £25,000 from the PRS Foundation. The scheme, run by Sound and Music and Making Music, enables voluntary music groups to have a new piece of music especially composed for them by some of the UK's most talented emerging composers. BBC Radio 3 has also committed to recording performances of all the resulting work from this year's scheme.

The composer/group pairings for 2009/10 are now announced: find out who they are
