Commissioning
The best way to commission Kincaid is to get to know them by connecting with them directly on social media, by email, or in person. It is most likely that Kincaid will become passionate about your idea to the point that they make music for you without you being able to assemble an apparatus for funding their work. Kincaid is open to gifting new music, bartering for a commission, paying what you can, and traditional commissioning.
Sheet Music
Kincaid’s sheet music is exclusively available in print from Trevco Music. Kincaid does not digitally distribute their scores outside commissioning. To inquire about a score not currently available from Trevco, email Kincaid directly.
