About the Study
In 2024, a study was commissioned by the Chain Table regarding the remuneration of composers through the Nieuw Geneco Fee Table for Composition Commissions. The final report resulted in a substantiated fee table based on collective labor agreement (CAO) wages, freelance corrections, and empirical data. During that process, the question arose as to how comparable guidelines could be developed for arrangers — a professional group essential to the creative chain but for which no formal reference frameworks exist. The existing Nieuw Geneco table (as of July 1, 2024) does provide amounts, but lacks substantiation.
This report provides that substantiation, enabling clients and arrangers to make fair agreements according to the principles of the Fair Practice Code: solidarity, transparency, sustainability, and trust.
Many thanks in advance on behalf of the Chain Table for Jazz/World/Contemporary Composers and Musicians.
