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 - Ecrire pour l’image et pour la scène
À la frontière de la composition et de l’arrangement, rares furent les jeunes compositeurs de l’après-guerre à ne pas écrire pour la scène. L’effervescence des compagnies théâtrales à la Libération permet aux compositeurs déjà affirmés (André Jolivet…) ou à l’orée de leur carrière (Pierre Boulez, Maurice Jarre…) d’exercer un artisanat aux multiples facettes.
