New Commissioning Models

From joint commissions to Kickstarter, the 21st century has
brought  new ways of hiring composers to write music. This
week, we’ll look at  some of the more unusual and innovative
methods and the music that  resulted and we’ll chat with
NewMusicUSA’s Frank J. Oteri and Scott  Winship.
