New ISM Register of Performers & Composers

The 2003-04 edition of the ISM's Register of Performers & Composers has been published.  It includes full details of musicians who belong to the ISM's Specialist Section for Performers & Composers.

The main directory lists performers and composers alphabetically, giving their specialisations, addresses, contact numbers and website details.

A classified index groups performers and composers according to specialism.  It also gives the name of their local Regional Arts Council and their main contact telephone number.

Also in the 2003-04 edition are classified listings for adjudicators, jurors and masterclass tutors who have been engaged in  national and international events, and a list of members who are not currently accepting professional work, but wish to retain their links with the Section.  The Register carries details of recommended rates which apply to performers and composers, as well as a sample of the ISM Artists Contract and the text of the ISM Code of Ethics for the Section.

 The 2003-04 Register of Performers & Composers can be seen on the Society's website and is available (price £15) from the ISM, 10 Stratford Place, London W1C 1AA, tel: 020 7629 4413, fax: 020 7408 1538, email: membership@ism.org.
