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.

Horizons de la musique en France 1944-1954 - Diffusion et interprétation des musiques nouvelles en 1945
Certains moyens de diffusion de la musique, comme la radio, sont favorisés en même temps que censurés par la Collaboration ; d’autres, totalement mis à l’arrêt. La Libération permet le déploiement d’un discours prolifique sur la musique et particulièrement sur des oeuvres nouvelles qui se découvrent alors. L’émergence de ces partitions pour la plupart inconnues exige aussi une reconsidération des techniques d’interprétation jusqu’alors en usage.
