For composers, who by definition make a living by writing music, commissioning new works is especially central. This issue is no less crucial for the art form in general: if classical music is going to thrive, and not only survive, it needs new works. However, in the Western Balkans actual instances of commissioning classical music and overall opportunities for composers to work are very rare and insufficiently developed. In order to counterbalance this situation, empower composers, classical music commissioning and production, #synergy plans to engage a selection of composers and their participation in different project activities - residency programs for composers, commissioning new pieces, and providing opportunities for emerging musicians to gain new knowledge and experiences and to present themselves to regional and European audience.
