The Contemporary Music Centre (CMC) is Ireland's archive and resource centre for new music, supporting the work of composers and performers of new music throughout the island of Ireland.
CMC is a relevant, resourceful and recognisable force in the documentation, development and promotion of Contemporary Music in Ireland. CMC meets the needs of a wide variety of interest groups: composers, performers, musicologists, teachers, students and reaches a range of audiences including music enthusiasts, other artforms, children and young people in its support to Contemporary Music. As the archive for composers' works and related materials from the island of Ireland, CMC’s strategic goal is to ensure that the contemporary music landscape in Ireland is documented and preserved for future generations and that access to our dynamic library of contemporary works is provided. CMC positions audience development and the continuing professional development of composers and performers of contemporary music, at the heart of the organisation. Furthering our goal of promoting the work of composers and artists active in new music in Ireland, we build on international and national partnerships that we have developed in recent years to bring the works of composers from Ireland to a wider audience. CMC is committed to creating and maintaining a supportive environment for composers, performers and audiences of new music from Ireland.
