Goodbye 2012, Hello 2013<\/strong>
\nLooking back over 2012 it is clear that PRS for Music Foundation has had one incredible year. We started 2012 with a bang with a party at London\u2019s Cargo, featuring spine-tingling live sets from Dry the River, Serafina Steer, Abimaro and the Free and the National Youth Orchestra. New Music 20×12 took brand new music the length and breadth of the country for the Cultural Olympiad. There are so many incredible artists, composers and music promoters we\u2019ve had the pleasure of funding and working with this year there simply isn’t space to list them all! Even more exciting and innovative projects are coming together for 2013. Keep your eyes on the website for announcements!<\/p>\n
