How Sound Investment works

The amount of money we need to raise for each new piece of music is divided into Sound Units of £150. You can buy one or more Sound Units in the composers of your choice. Sound Units also make perfect presents to celebrate a special occasion.

The best aspect of being Sound Investors is the number of ‘ways in’ to contemporary music. We have now heard music way beyond what we would have discovered without the Sound Investment experience.
Phil and Bernice Mansell, Sound Investors

As a Sound Investor you will:

• be invited to rehearsals and a special reception at the premiere
• have the chance to meet the composer and performers
• have the opportunity to receive a full score of the piece signed for you by the composer
• be kept up to date with the progress of your chosen work before and after its premiere
• have access to a special section of the BCMG website
• be thanked for your support in the score of the piece, concert programme and on the BCMG website

Please note: Sound Units are not investments for the purposes of the Financial Services Act 1986 and accordingly nothing on this website or the Sound Investment catalogue constitutes investment advice. Sound Units may not be resold or redeemed and are not a form of savings investment. No copyright in works commissioned under the Sound Investment scheme will be acquired by the acquisition of Sound Units. The number of Sound Units available in each work represents a proportion of the overall commission cost, once grants and existing Sound Investment support are taken into account.
