From the New Dots webpage:

 "New Dots connects emerging composers and performers of contemporary classic music and brings their work to new audiences. We are passionate about the future of ‘classical’ music, new music in particular, and we believe that today’s musicians and composers have something relevant to say. We are a new organisation and we welcome any support and encouragement. "
