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.

Generation Itinéraire # 5 : Hugues Dufourt
At the Cdmc, from 14h30 to 18h30
Hugues Dufourt is one of the most striking personalities of the post-war European generation. His approach as philosopher and æsthetician, his acuity in the meticulous investigation of aural and compositional phenomena, his faith in history (systematic, theoretical and technical history of philosophy, society, science and the arts), not to mention his socio-political and institutional commitments make him a man whose polymorphous culture is of singular diversity.
