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.

New instruments, new repertories, new pedagogies
Cdmc
Coordination Hugues Genevois and Serge de Laubier
The 20th century saw the birth of new families of musical instruments: electronic, electro-mechanical, digital… and even mechanical!
Some of these gave rise to new repertories, or led to a new look at works of the past. Others were intimately linked to their creator, or to the production of one particular work, without consequences for a repertory. Whereas new musical practices arose with, notably, the emergence of orchestras comprising digital or electro-acoustic instruments, we shall attempt to identify and outline the repertories and pedagogies that are linked to them.
