Commissions
FreshScores
FreshScores are commissions for new original scores to short films. We have commissioned dozens of FreshScore performances to date and counting.
As an evolution of this idea, we are launching a FreshScores partnership with one or more film festivals to pair filmmakers and musicians together to create new collaborations.
Check out the list of past FreshScores and some of the videos of the performances!
