Patronage
“The creative process never stops. Whether consciously or subconsciously, you tune in (literally) to everything around you – space, colour, sound, energy, words… all seemingly unrelated. My job as a composer is to sift through to find the gem of an idea, often a time-consuming process! But just sometimes, suddenly when least expected, the outline of a sketch effortlessly appears..”
— Alice Beckwith
What is a Music Patron?
Music Patron is a new, ambitious platform connecting patrons and composers. With a monthly donation from just £10/month, anyone can join this wonderful community of patrons changing the status quo of the music industry.
Supporting a composer on Music Patron gives you a first-hand perspective on the many elements within the creative process and an understanding of the authentic journey of a composer.
Patrons are invited to join me behind-the-scenes through regular updates, engaging with my creative process as I collaborate with ensembles and artists on a variety of commissions.

“Music Patron is a very special opportunity to share my new work, professional success and creative development with an engaged, interactive community of philanthropic individuals.”
