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.

Musical Creativity In China
Moderation Arnaud Merlin
Some have left their country to study and work in Europe or the USA, others have gone back to teach in China; some have written grandiose official hymns, others experimental works: the ensemble Les Temps Modernes presents a cross-section of the landscape of contemporary music in China, with first performances of composers from contrasting horizons and backgrounds.
As a prelude to the concert, the musicologist Michèle Tosi will set out the specificities of contemporary Chinese music. This will be followed by a round table led by Arnaud Merlin, with the composers Marie-Hélène Bernard, Frédéric Durieux, François Paris, Xu Yi, Wen Deqing and Jean-Louis Bergerard, artistic director of the ensemble Les Temps Modernes.
