A fair remuneration

Nieuw Geneco pleads for a fair remuneration for composers from work and rights. You can download the fee guidelines below and read more about entering into an appropriate contract and accompanying rights. It is therefore advisable to enter into discussion/negotiation at an early stage.

In the case of a composition assignment, an appropriate fee between the commissioning party and the party accepting the assignment is agreed upon in advance. In order to be able to determine what is appropriate, the Performing Arts Fund NL (Fonds Podiumkunsten) has used a so-called table of fees (honorariumtabel). This table indicates which fee is appropriate for a composition. This does not concern a genre or style. Relevant factors are the duration of the piece, how many voices or parts and the labour-intensiveness.

At the request of the Performing Arts Fund NL, Nieuw Geneco is currently researching the applicability of the table of fees for all genres, in conjunction with the various fellow professional associations.
