The only magazine dedicated to contemporary classical music culture in the UK and Ireland

Celebrating and showcasing performers and composers

I’m really excited about this project, a new magazine focusing exclusively on contemporary classical music

We have a vibrant culture of contemporary classical music here in the UK and Ireland – full of committed performers, composers and supporters – and it would be great to see contemporary classical music understood and enjoyed more widely alongside its sister arts. Sounds Like Now will be a focal point and a cultural hub where people can:

• Get to know the performers – what they’re doing, how they approach and what they think about the music and culture
• Get to know the composers, established and new – what makes them tick?
• Get to know the music, from those who know and love it
• Find out what’s being performed, where and when
• Find new repertoire including the latest publisher releases and selections by expert musicians
• Find new recordings and get help discovering what’s already out there

If you’re a performer, composer, producer or promoter of new music, then Sounds Like Now will be there to share and celebrate your work. It will include;

• Profiles of key performers and composers
• Essays and reports from artists and commentators
• Guides to key ideas and current trends in contemporary music
• Interviews
• Concert reviews and previews
• Recording reviews
• New music releases from publishers
• Thorough UK-& Ireland-wide event listings
• Q & A with contemporary music lovers outside the sector

Sounds Like Now will be an outward-looking publication which encourages more musicians and listeners to venture into the wonderfully rich and rewarding world of contemporary music.

Sounds Like Now will be a bi-monthly print and digital publication, available by subscription.

So whether you’re a seasoned new-music-head or wanting to venture in and could do with a guide, Sounds Like Now is for you!  Visit the Sounds Like Now crowdfunding page to find out how you can be part of this exciting new project.
