The RWS Music Company is aware of the many challenges facing band programs around the World during this global pandemic. As a company owned and operated by music educators, we value the relationship between our writers and the bands they serve.
With social distancing protocols in place it is nearly impossible to have in-person concerts in a safe and responsible manner. That being the case most bands will be attempting virtual, or pre-recorded concerts in order to provide the students with those valuable performance opportunities. As responsible stewards of the arts profession, we know band directors want to follow the correct steps to acquire licensing for these projects. It is with this that we’d like to help.
During this unprecedented time, we at the RWS Music Company are happy to offer the royalty-free use of any title from our catalog to any school or community-based ensemble for streaming performance in a virtual concert setting. Please accept this gift from us as a reward for all of the hard work you and your students are doing to keep music education strong.
Good luck with your performances! And please tag us @RWSMusic on any social media posts of your event so that we can follow you!
