Commissions
Commissions allow performing groups, solo artists, and filmmakers to collaborate with me personally. I have over twenty commissions, from large ensembles to chamber works. Please see the gallery for a short selection of works, or the Start Listening button on the main page.
Information about commissions:
-
My email is robertantonstrobel@gmail.com, or you can contact me on Facebook or LinkedIn.
-
All my commissions are done under contract.
-
I don't have rates but will certainly treat commissioners fairly. Like other musicians, a willingness to write a piece is a combination of pay, the ensemble, and my interest in the project. It's up to you to give me a fair bid, but I can make suggestions.
-
If you tell me about one particular piece that I've written that you like, it can be helpful to me.
-
For larger commissions, half payment will be given in advance and the other half of the funds paid during the reception of the piece.
-
For smaller commissions, a full payment is due immediately before the reception of the piece.
-
A performance and a recording will be part of a musician's payment and part of the contract with concert works.
-
All above are subject to change.
