You've spent 1 minute in the world of a composer
Have you ever wondered why a piece of music sounds the way it does?
Have you ever spent time with a composer and lifted the lid on their music?
Stuart MacRae is just one of the exciting composers on Music Patron.
Music Patron is a brand new platform that enables composers to continue creating new music by inviting music lovers to connect with and truly support them.
What is Music Patron?
Historically patrons and patronage formed an important part of a composer’s income and sustainability. We want to reimagine this idea for the 21st century! It’s not just for the privileged and the wealthy. For a small monthly donation, you too could be part of this movement and in the composition of brand-new works.
About the composer
Born in Inverness, Stuart MacRae has established himself as one of the most distinctive composers working today, writing music of elemental power and emotional subtlety. Equally at home writing opera, orchestral music, chamber music and music for choirs, Stuart’s work explores themes of humanity in/as nature, the use of language through the singing voice, and mythology.
