Your decision to share the word and invite people to these events can and will make a world of difference.
Facebook event invitations
Inviting appropriate contacts you have on Facebook to your local event, or an event near them, is a powerful way to spread the news.
Use the PromoKit
We have put together a Dropbox folder with general and location-specific graphics that you can use to spread the message on social media, email, or direct messaging.
Contact local event host
Contact the venue that will host the event and ask how you might use your local sphere of influence to bring more people to their specific event.
Contribute as a creative, speaker, or sponsor
If you are a composer of new beautiful melodic music or a performing musician, we chose to have a ticket price for the concert at the end of the evening to make sure you are properly financially compensated. More information will be given on the amount and conditions. Magnus Gautestad is also on the board of the grant-giving foundation Together for Melody which can give up to $2000 to a composer to cover performance costs.
If you are a figurative painter, a sculptor, or an expert within the real estate industry, we’ll give you a free platform to share your ideas and promote your work, and we hope that can be satisfactory compensation.
If you would like to contribute with administrative skills, media production, or other relevant work related to the event, we’ll make agreements on a case-by-case basis. The means to cover such contributions will be relative to support from sponsors and donors.
Financial contributions in return for recognition as a sponsor are welcomed. Let us know if this is interesting, and we’ll find a good win-win.
We are also grateful for donations, and as a nonprofit, you can rest assured those contributions will be used faithfully to cover expenses related to the events. You can give your gift at Donorbox by clicking here and will be highlighted on the donor wall if you choose that during checkout.
Finally, we are always on the lookout for beautiful venues to host the event. If you are the steward of one and would like to host us, let us know.

At this point, costs related to the events are mostly covered out of pocket by Magnus Gautestad through his nonprofit organization Composers for Beauty or by other doners or sponsors. As we are not charging ticket prices, but only giving people an opportunity to give a financial donation, it is limited to give our paid contract work at this point.
With that said, our goal is that the composers in our movement to pay the performing musicians at the events at competitive rates. Because of this, we are establishing partners which will help composers cover these costs, but we can not guarantee support at this point. If you are a composer and are not able to cover your own costs for musicians, email us at contact(at)togetherforbeauty.org to apply for support.
No problem! Send an email over to contact(at)togetherforbeauty.org and we’ll get back to you within 1-2 business days.
