New Music Scotland is a network of artists, ensembles, orchestras, composers, creators, music educators, sound artists, musicians, producers, promoters and anyone who believes in the importance and value of creating new music in Scotland. We are an organisation that exists to connect, enable and support makers of innovative and experimental new music and our members help drive how we do that.

Our website contains a directory of artist and organisation profiles, with catalogues of works, sample score pages, recordings, details of education and community projects, and much more! If you are a member then you are able to upload details of existing and new works, performances, events, projects of all sorts, funding and development opportunities, performers specialising in new music, and project management, production and technical specialists with a new music focus...and so on. You can also include links to audio and video clips, sample pages, your own websites, and places to buy music and recordings.

New Music in Scotland: Survey 2026 

At New Music Scotland we are considering our priorities and direction in supporting the new music sector for the year ahead and beyond. We're keen to hear from people involved in new music in Scotland - what's shaping your work right now, current challenges, and where support would be most useful. The survey is open to members and non-members.

The survey covers our plans for 2026 including our conference in Glasgow in August, a programme of online member meetings, and peer to peer groups, as well as wider priorities for new music in Scotland. Responses are open until 6 April 2026.
