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.

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.
