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.

Plurielles. Contemporary landscape with female composers
Coordination Geneviève Mathon and Sophie Lacaze
Female composers, proportionately very few in number in the profession, hold a lowly position in the contemporary musical landscape. Yet they bring to today’s musical creation a rich diversity that merits a higher profile in programmes as in the media and in teaching.
The association Plurielles 34 brings together female composers, musicologists and performers, and is intended as a place for reflexion and action with regard to these objectives. This day session will present some of the aspects of current and future production and will seek to (re)define its position and its impact within French institutions, its outlets for programming, diffusion and teaching. There will be round tables, interventions by female composers, philosophers and musicologists, musical interludes and dialogues between the different players in today’s musical life.
With the participation of Marie-Hélène Bernard, Raphaële Biston, Pascale Criton, Graciane Finzi, Geneviève Fraisse, Claire Gibault, Suzanne Giraud, Christine Groult, Sophie Lacaze, édith Lejet, Geneviève Mathon, Nathalie Négro, Hyacinthe Ravet, Yves Riesel, Claire Renard, Jean-Claude Thévenon, Wilfried Wendling.
