Commissions — Joey Stempien

Commissioning Music

Commissioning writers to create new music is a great way to:

Contribute meaningfully to the music industry 📈
Support your favorite composers personally 🤲
Obtain music relevant to your performance needs 📥
Promote you or an ensemble in print 🗞

I will typically respond to the commission request form in 24-48 hours. Pricing is determined by the parameters specified, and is treated on a case-by-case basis.

I truly appreciate all those that commission me to write music for them, and, barring abnormal circumstances, (almost) always accept requests.

If you’re ready to receive your own personalized piece, fill out the form, and let’s get started on this process together! I’m looking forward to working with you.
