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.

Nomad creation. Portrait of François Rossé
Philharmonie 2 - Cité de la musique - Salle des colloques
Moderation Jésus Aguila
On the occasion of the premiere of Elliptiques, commissioned by the Ensemble Intercontemporain, this encounter with François Rossé seeks to give an overall view of his creative approach.
It is not easy to place François Rossé within the pre-packaged aesthetic categories of so-called ‘contemporary’ music. Confronted by the various current forms of artistic and social stratification, he has opted for what he calls a ‘nomad attitude’: fleeing from fixity, distrusting any monolithic aesthetic. He prefers to take the risk of being incorrectly identified in the field of contemporary musical creation, rather than cut himself off from social reality.
