NMC Recordings is a unique arts charity and record label, dedicated to the promotion of exceptional contemporary classical music from Britain and Ireland. The vital role that we play in the new music sector means that without NMC, hundreds of important works would not be recorded and heard by audiences across the world.  

NMC supports composers at every stage of their career. From the emerging names taking part in our talent-development partnerships; to the rising-stars releasing their first portrait album in our Debut Discs series; through to the established voices with music that needs to be heard that is not available elsewhere. NMC has become a trusted brand, relied on by critics and commissioners around the world who want to have their finger on the pulse of cutting-edge classical music.

Increasing diversity in the music industry is at the core of NMC’s work. We are focused on collaborating with communities that are traditionally under-represented in classical music, ensuring that these exceptional creative voices are heard. NMC is a National Portfolio Organisation of Arts Council England, and as a registered charity we rely fully on donations to fulfil our work.

The composer Colin Matthews founded NMC 35 years ago to remedy the almost non-existent representation of living British composers in the recording catalogues of major labels at the time. NMC’s invaluable work supporting the rich breadth of compositional talent from across Britain and Ireland means that our catalogue now holds more than 300 albums, and is a diverse living archive of classical music spanning multiple generations of composers.
