– One of TONO's tasks is to work for the innovation of music. We do this through our ordinary work of licensing music and settling money for the use of the music to the rights holders, but also through our scholarship schemes. We know that a lot of music is created and performed every year as a direct result of our scholarships, says Deputy Director of TONO, Svein Korshamn, who assists the scholarship committee in their work.
