Be a part of commissioning a new work
Join the Circle and be part of a unique and rewarding initiative to support the storytellers of today.
Your tax-deductible donation of $500 will go directly to the successful composer, allowing them to focus on their craft and bring their unique work for a Victorian-based chamber ensemble to life.
I’m absolutely thrilled and honoured to have been awarded this Continuo commission; when it was first announced there was such a reaction of giddy excitement from myself and the ensemble! I feel sincerely grateful to the Continuo Community for awarding this to us, and it genuinely feels as if something rather special is about to happen as a result.
– Kym Dillon, 2022
How does it work?
Every year, Continuo is offering the opportunity to contribute to the commission of one new work from a Victorian-based composer.
Funds for each commission are raised by forming syndicates from Continuo members and supporters.
Each member of a commissioning circle makes an equal tax deductible donation and all funds raised go directly to the composer.
“You don’t need to be wealthy or powerful to be involved in commissioning.”
The 2026 Continuo Commissioning Circle is now full!
If you missed out, there will be more opportunities to join our Commissioning Circles in the future, at least one per year. And we would welcome a donation to our Founders’ Fund, which supports further commissions and other chamber music projects.
