World-Wide (Concurrent) Premieres & Commissioning Fund, Inc.

World-Wide (Concurrent) Premieres and Commissioning Fund, Inc., as an organization, empowers solo performers, chamber musicians, and even in some cases orchestras (and all on every level from community, college or professional levels), with the ability to commission works without massive fund-raising efforts by the individual or organization. With a relatively small contribution (usually $100 - $350) paid directly to WWCPCF, Inc., a certain number of performers or organizations (anywhere from 5-150) premiere the work of a chosen composer on the same night, world-wide. For instance, 43 saxophonists performed the world premiere of Pulitzer Prize winning composer John Harbison's "Sonata" in 100 different locations, on the same night, in December, 1995.

WWCPCF, Inc., handles the administration, registration, contacts and contracts with composers, publishers and performers, including providing performers with limited edition scores (hand numbered and signed by the composer) and parts in ample time to prepare for performance.
