MUSIC FOR EVERY MIND
Empowering classical composers to shine

ABOUT NOWCLASSICA
NowClassica is run by me, Charles Nelson, my background is in creative music technology and I have strong connections across the classical music sector.
My passion is composing music, particularly for the moving image. I prefer to create classical music, but have experience composing in different genres. I also have a wide breadth of knowledge about music and film history, including silent film.
To bring my compositions to life, I collaborate with world‑class orchestras and technical specialists. Scroll down to learn more about my latest releases.
Would you like to know more about publishing your classical compositions under the NowClassica label? If so, please get in touch.

WHAT I DO
We release digitally through a trusted distributer. We can provide advice on protecting the rights to your music and collecting royalties.
SCORE & PARTS PREPARATION
Many orchestras now require fully digitised scores and well‑prepared parts before recording sessions begin. I prepare my ownparts, but my partners can also prepare high‑quality virtual orchestration and notation services.
PRODUCTION & RECORDING
I collaborate with orchestras in the North West UK and mainland Europe. My partners offer professional recording services and are able to accommodate a wide range of artistic and technical requirements. They even let you attend recordings sessions!
DISTRIBUTION & ROYALTIES ADVICE
I release my music digitally through a trusted distributor. If you are confused about safeguarding your rights as a composer and understanding royalties, I could help.
MARKETING & PROMOTION
I promote my own work through the NowClassica Instagram page and my own social media. I raise money via Crowdfunder. Video content is obtained via my recording partners.
