The Cdmc holds a unique collection representing all aesthetics within musical creation. This collection has grown thanks to the collaboration of composers, publishers and Radio France. With a consultation area open to the public, the centre also affords access to many online resources through the Catalogue and the Gateway to Contemporary Music. A beacon of the latest music news with its website, the Cdmc organises encounters with the movers and shakers of contemporary music.
The Cdmc presents a season of encounters, seminars and day study sessions designed to counterpoint the views of specialists and professionals and to spotlight composers and performers. Focussing on topical aspects of the music scene, they are organised in collaboration with the main players of musical creation: ensembles, centres for creation, festivals, etc., as well as with those involved in research, the universities and conservatories. Dédicaces (Dedications): these are encounters featuring newly released books, discs or DVDs.

The European Instrumental Laboratory: issues and crossovers
Théâtre Dunois
Moderator: David Jisse
The European Instrumental Laboratory (LIEU), founded in 2008, brings together partners from eight countries focussed on one and the same objective: to promote and reflect together on the future of contemporary creation.
An enquiry was undertaken concerning various players involved in the LIEU: composers, festival directors, documentation centres, publishers and members of ensembles dedicated to creation, in order to highlight the issues with which they are confronted.
This round table will feature and present to the public the main questions and issues brought to light by this study. It will facilitate the comparison and examination of the way in which the structures, the ensembles and the composers here present function and the difficulties they encounter.
The political changes occurring throughout Europe will also lie at the heart of this encounter, in the course of which speakers from six countries will talk about their respective situations.
