for Sakari Dixon Vanderveer, composer
Composers make their living from a variety of sources of income, such as performance royalties. Each year, non-profit organizations such as ASCAP award composers their royalties based on performances that have been reported. Usually, these reports come from the composers and performers themselves.
By submitting this form, you will be helping me at no cost to you. The costs are already covered by sites such as universities and concert halls which already purchase blanket licenses to perform music. Although schools and places of worship are not mandated to purchase these licenses, reports from these performances also aid in determining the size of the annual awards.
In addition, I would love to hear about your upcoming concert so that I can have the possibility of attending! Therefore, I would appreciate notifications as far in advance as possible, but if you are unable to give an early notice, I am grateful the info (and especially the performance!) regardless.
This form has been provided for your convenience, but if you prefer to send a regular email instead, feel free to send one to sakari {at} sakaridixon {dotcom}, remembering to provide the information below.
Thank you! 🙂
Thank you for your cooperation!
