Purpose
practice, performance & experience

MomC wants to achieve this by supporting and advising on music projects of musicians & composers.
Focus
field of attention & experience
MomC’s field of attention is the non-Western music in all its appearances in The Netherlands / Europa and with this related the rich sources of musical movements and musical talents. Focus is among others on the musical crossovers between the different music cultures.
MomC has experience in guiding and advising of music projects and music performances, including (preliminary) research, set-up, development, realization and fundraising.
Approach
addressing music projects
MomC guides and advises musicians and composers with their music projects. For this MomC has developed a concept project plan including budget, which forms the basis for fundraising, recruiting sponsors and partners.
The essence of the approach is close collaboration between musician/composer and MomC, consisting of two phases:
Concept phase
a) Orientation on the project subject and possible preliminary research by the musician/composer and MomC.
b) MomC sends the draft project plan and budget concept to the musician/composer.
c) The texts of the draft project plan and calculation of the budget concept are supplied by the musician/composer.
Final phase
a) MomC writes the final project plan including the budget.
b) The musician/composer and MomC jointly select funds, subsidy providers and sponsors appropriate to the project.
c) MomC guides and advises the musician/composer with the application for contributions from the selected funds
grant providers and sponsors.
The concept phase is free of charge. For the final phase, a joint agreement is drawn up that describes the form of cooperation, a timeline with activities and the amount and method of payment. A fee may be requested for writing the final project plan and budget, otherwise MomC works on a no-cure-no-pay basis.
