Today we've launched an exciting new section to the site which allows you to video footage of contemporary composers as found on youtube - there's a surprisingly large amount of footage there, and most reasonably well-known composers will have one or two pieces filmed, as well as some fascinating interviews.

We hope this provides a valuable service of pulling all these videos into one easy to browse place- simply click on our composer database and browse to the relevant composer page to see which videos are available.

We've added a new site search box on the right hand column to allow you to easily search the ever-increasing amount of content on the site.
