When it comes to online pioneers, the folks over at NewMusicBox (or NMBx if you’re hip) were already ahead of the curve before most even figured out there was something there.

But beyond all their trailblazing, NMBx is a representative example of just how valuable a new media platform is to this business when implemented properly. Historically, composers have been the apex of the classical music field and it wasn’t until fairly recent that music directors have been forcibly inserted into positions supplanting that authority. Fortunately, outlets like NMBx provide ample examples behind why this might not be such a good idea and why composers need to regain some of that influence.
So what are you still doing here? Go to NMBx and take a look around and make them a regular part of your online reading habit.
