Continuing JAM’s Commissioning Legacy

Since 2000, JAM has given performances of over 180 new pieces of music, either submitted to or commissioned by the charity.

At its core JAM was created to enable, commission and promote new music. The commissioning of composers born, studying or living in the UK has a long tradition for us and we are proud that many composers have benefitted from JAM’s commissioning programme, including Judith Bingham, Gabriel Jackson, Thea Musgrave, Jonathan Dove and Mark-Anthony Turnage.
