2009-2010
The year 2009 started with a big event. ECPNM held the FestLab for Creativity
and Innovation: an EFA initiative at the occasion of the 2009 European Year of
Creativity and Innovation. It was launched on 27th March 2009 in Prague in the
framework of the Czech EU presidency event „Forum for Creative Europe”, with
Jan Figel, European Commissioner for Education, Training, Culture and Youth
acting as the first official to assign 25 major European festivals from 15 countries
to the FestLab Pass. This FestLab Pass commits festivals to support artistic
creativity, young artists and the creation of new works – all topics, of course,
of the activities of ECPNM members.
ECPNM was also very active in the Culture Sector Platform Creation and the
Industries of the EU Commission Education & Culture. At the end of September
2009 the results will be presented at a large European gathering in Brussels.
ECPNM furthermore successfully organized the 2nd European Competition for
Live Electronics Projects. More than 40 projects were received; the 6 selected
projects will be premiered on 4 October in Gothenburg and a winner will then
be announced; there we will also hold our annual General Assembly, in the
framework of the ISCM World Music Days.
Our co-operation with ECF – European Composers Forum is in continuation:
on 4 July 2009 we presented the Composer’s Factory in Tallinn at the General
Assembly of EAS – European Association of School Music. This should result
in a European project with different European countries starting in 2011;
this is, of course, also of interest to ECPNM members!
The Ars Nova group of ECPNM and EFA is renewed, aiming at better and closer
co-operation. The next meeting will take place during the Ars Musica festival
in Brussels 26-28 March 2010. And last but not least: together with other
European organizations such as EFA, ECSA, ECF the ECPNM started
a partnership with the European House of Culture, which is based at Flagey
in Brussels. Thus we are becoming more visible for partners and European
policy makers.
And as a proof that ECPNM is very much alive and kicking we herewith also
present our new logo and house style. We hope to see all ECPNM members
at the next general assembly and other activities!
Helmut W.Erdmann,
President of ECPNM
PS.
The 2010 general assembly will take place in Rattenberg, Tirol, Austria
20-22 August, where we will listen to the selected works of the 3rd
European Competition for Live Electronics Projects!

The international exchange of ideas and experiences at meetings and symposiums. Symposiums where subjects connected with new music are dealt with,
contribute to find new solutions on an international level without neglecting
specific regional characteristics. In the framework of the annual General
Assemblies symposiums are organised with themes such as „East meets West”,
„The future of new music festivals”, „Audio Art”, etc. The ECPNM is an Associate
Member of the EFA – European Festivals Association. Here joint meetings are
organised in which the Ars Nova – working group discusses experiences in
contemporary music, theatre and dance, and further cooperation and exchanges.
The ECPNM is also a member of the EMC – European Music Council, and is closely
related to the ISCM and IAMIC. Thus the ECPNM is always looking for international
partners to serve the cause of contemporary music in the best way.
International exchange of information. By mail, at meetings, but especially
through the Internet a lot of information about contemporary composers,
compositions and activities is exchanged. By links to organisations such as
MICs huge resources of detailed background information is available.
Publicity of activities all over Europe. A Calendar of New Music Events is
published once a year. The Calendar gives a survey of the festivals, concerts and
other events organized by members. Included is also an agenda with the dates of
many other European new music events. The Calendar is also available on internet:

ACDA ‘s aim is to organize, coordinate and promote artistic activities, especially
creation of new works; in addition, she aims in this respect to develop the
formation of the professionals, in particular in the framework of the international
Competitions of the Paris City and Center Acanthes. In just over two decades he
Centre Acanthes has become a revered symbol of contemporary composition.
Launched at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 1977, it has since 1987 been linked
to the Avignon Festival. Above all, the Centres Acanthes sets out to teach young
musicians about contemporary music. Adopting an innovative approach, it centres
its activities aroundleading modern composers, who each lead different sessions.
The Centre Acanthes is held each July for a period of two to three weeks, in
the magnificent fourteenth-century monastery, the Chartreuse, in Villeneuve-lez-Avignon.
Workshops are run by an entire team, as the guest composer is assisted by a group
of musician-teachers, chosen by common accord to perform and analyse his works.
Alongside the workshops, a series of concerts are held, at which the works of the
guest composer hold pride of place, performed by the musician-teachers as well
as ensembles or orchestras. These concerts are included in the official programme
of the Avignon Festival.
The Centre Acanthes is aimed at young music professionals, be they composers,
performers, musicologists or teachers. They hail from all over the world – between
half and three-quarters of the participants come from outside France. Participants
are selected on the basis of their applications. Their numbers range from 80 to 120
every year. To make it easier for them to attend, over half of the participants are
granted a bursary.

[email protected]
www.aspekte-salzburg.at
The objectives are to create interesting concert programs with a focus on music
of our time and at the highest level of interpretation:
• New Music (young international composers or groups
• Important, appealing and interesting music of the classical 20th Century,
including works seldom or never played (Wolpe, Scelsi, but also Webern,
Partch, etc.)
• Cross-border Music (Piazzola, border folklore, etc.)
• Non-classical European music (and dance) (Japan, China, Korea, Thailand,
Vietnam, Africa, Arab countries, etc.)
• Presentation of the latest developments in the sector classical and
electronic instruments, computers, etc.
• Electro-acoustic music, including audio-visual possibilities
• E xperimental music – dance and movement forms
• Music Theatre projects
• Events with such themes enrich the Salzburg concert scene, are informative
on the latest international trends and willtake place at the annual festival
„Aspekte”
• Promotion of the Salzburg composers’ scene.
The most important for the relatively large Salzburg composers’ scene is, in
addition to the information on the latest trends in new music, definitely the
performance of music by these composers, at least in Austria and Salzburg
and possibly throughout the world. For this purpose, the „Aspekte New Music
Ensemble” was founded.
Collaboration with the international new music scene. By contributing to
the European Conference of Promoters of New Music (about 90 Festivals and
organizers from across Europe) the possibility of international collaboration
is promising.

The Composers Association of Serbia was founded in 1945. It has continuously
worked as one of the most renowned and most important institutions in Serbia
ever since it was founded by the Serbian Ministry of Culture. Members of the
Association are composers (contemporary and popular music) and music writers.
The principal activities of the Association are promotion of pieces by Serbian
composers both at home and abroad, taking care of composers and their material
and social status, stimulating musicians to participate in contemporary music
performance, publishing scores and audio editions as well as musicological studies
dedicated to the music of Serbian composers. In 1994 the Association established
the Mokranjac Prize for an outstanding composition performed for the first time
during the previous year. Since 1992 it organizes the International Review of
Composers. The Composers Association of Serbia is member of ISCM, ECPNM
and ECF.
18th International Review of Composers
12-17 November 2009, Hall of National Bank of Serbia, Kolarac Hall, Belgrade
Subject: The echoes of space
International Review of Composers was initiated in 1992. The general idea was
to present and promote new works by Serbian as well as foreign authors. It was
conceived as a cultural event aimed at inspiring composers, developing culture of
listening of contemporary music among audience and providing relevant information about latest strivings in music. The permanent partners of the International
Review of Composers are Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Serbia, Assembly
of the City of Belgrade, SOKOJ – agency for the protection of the authors’ rights,
the Faculty of Music, Radio Belgrade, Radio Television of Serbia and Music production Radio Television of Serbia.
It is held in the second half of November and lasts five days. It generally features
10-12 concerts, along with other events: meetings with composers, presentations
of music periodicals, editions of scores and CDs, panel discussions, workshops etc.
The principal part of the Review consists of works created over the preceeding
three years and selected by the jury. However, the Review spans a wider time period, as it generally features concerts devoted to music of various countries, concerts
of anthological works, programs proposed by renowned soloists and ensembles.
The subject of the Review „The echoes of space” and the choice of instruments and
ensembles (piano, unaccompanied clarinet, violin, cello, double bass; voice and
flute, string trio, wind trio, piano trio, string quartet, wind quintet, chamber string

Ensemble Aleph is a partnership of soloists, in a flexible formation, an ensemble
of musicians united by their enthusiasm for living theatre, innovators who want to
serve composers while also exploring new ways to relate sound and text, movement and music. Ensemble Aleph resists precise definition and attempts to give it
an inadequate and restrictive label. Audiences at performances by Ensemble Aleph
– of staged works such as Frequents Stops, or concerts offering an overview of
contemporary music – are invited to embark upon an exciting discovery voyage.
17
Aleph is the theatre of music, with its masks, tricks and brilliance, perhaps even
with shadows and hopes, most certainly with footlights, wings, steps and ladders.
To put it more simply, Aleph is constantly evolving, offering ready access to the
world of sound as it merges and disperses for our pleasure.
Above all, Aleph stands for an unreserved commitment to artistic creation, turning
a deaf to ear to the lure of current trends.
Fortbildungszentrum Neue Musik Lüneburg
To encourage a novel approach to well-known works (Cage revisited through
Sophie Mathey’s choreography, for instance), and to present new talent such
as Eric de Clerq: both are natural for Aleph.

In 1999 the Italian Ministry of Culture recognized CEMAT as Institution for
National Contemporary Music Promotion. Thanks to this acknowledgement,
CEMAT widened its field of action, now including the promotion of every
expression of Italian contemporary musical creativity.

CEMAT is:
Vice-president of C.I.M.E. (Confédération Internationale de Musique Electroacoustique C.I.M. Unesco); Member of ECPNM (European Conference of Promoters
of New Music); Member of EFA (European Festivals Association); Member of
AIAM-AGIS.
Exposition of New Music may also be described as a music-ecological festival.
Its purpose is to extend the understanding of contemporary music movements
and its historical roots and confront them with Czech musical tendencies. In
the Czech context it represents a unique enterprise in its kind as well as its
topical extent. The ENM was introduced in the 1960s and established as an
annual event in the 1990s in an attempt to help contemporary music followers
to familiarise themselves in certain symptomatic trends and be able to evaluate
different creative procedures.
CEMAT promotes nationally and internationally new Italian music through:
• Sonora - Nuova musica italiana nel mondo project
• SIXE-Suono Italiano per l’Europa project
• Participation to national and international festivals
• Trials and competitions
• Seminars and workshops on scientific-musical matters
• Production of CDs, DVDs and publications

Since 2001 the International Ensemble Modern Academy (IEMA) is organized in
cooperation with the Ensemble Modern. Many composers in residence such as
Helmut Lachenmann, György Kurtág, Wolfgang Rihm, Michael Gielen and Steve
Reich guarantee a high quality of this masterclass for the many international
students that attend it.
Today the Klangspuren stand for innovation, openness and tolerance and do their
job in presenting new and not always easy pieces. It has been a success story, most
concerts are sold out and though its innovative marketing methods with the Klangspuren poster on trams. milk cartons and shopping bags of the M-Preis supermarket chain it was possible to attract new visitors to its concerts.
The Klangspuren festival also actively makes contact with schools, factories and
social initiatives and so tries to incorporate teaching and workshop practices in
its program. It offers a program for adults, which takes care of culinary as well as
other sensory items provides audience with the possibility to engage with music
on another level. Since 2002 regular workshops with apprentices and students
durch, 2004 wurde das ausgesprochen erfolgreiche childrens programme barfuß
take place and in 2004 the barefeet kids program was initiated. This work continues to grow.

Focus on Latin America. Composers in residence: Martin Matalon, Johannes
Maria Staud. The 16th edition of Klangspuren Schwaz is dedicated to aspects of
contemporary music from a continent that increasingly finds its own way in culture,
independent of any patterns of colonial powers. This year’s program of this widely
renown festival for new music features premiers by Jorge E. López, Jorge SánchezChiong, Cergio Prudencio, Gérman Toro-Pérez, Daniel de la Cuesta and many
more. Composers in residence J.M. Staud and Martin Matalon work with the highly

finally, baroque ecclesial architecture with selected aspects of contemporary music
are linked in another chapter of the successful „pilgrimage“.
The Klangspuren where founded in 1994 by the internationally known pianist
Thomas Larcher and the production manager Maria-Luise Mayr and since then
have become the most important festival for New Music in the West of Austria.
Since 2003 Peter Paul Kainrath is the artistic director of the festival.
Since its foundation the klangspuren festival takes place every September.
The original concept of offering a professional and expandable platform for
new music also in the West of Austria is still the basis of programming.
Apart from that the Klangspuren festival also sees itself as a festival being able
to support young musicians and composers in giving them work and a platform to
present their work as well as offering a wide range of activities which try to make

An additional relationship is established between kosovar music creators and their
colleagues from around the world, as our renowned guests always include works of
our composers in their performances. On the other hand, these encounters give to
our performing artists the opportunity to present their artistic expression amidst
valuable international competitors.
The Prishtina International Festival Remusica
Prishtina International Festival – „Remusica” is the result of the work of a group
of talented kosovar composers led by Rafet Rudi, the initiator of the whole idea.
The main aim of the Festival is to promote contemporary music through presentation of different stylistic tendencies of the XX century up to the present day.
The Festival „Remusica” in its program, time after time, includes also pieces of
composers from other stylistic epochs (especially baroque) through which
a logical stylistic parallel is drafted between contemporary and classical music.
In the six first editions of the present Festival, we had the honor to receive, among
the guest artists: Aki Takahashi (JAP), Mondriaan Quartet (NDL), Peter Sheppard

The LGNM ( Luxembourg Society for Contemporary Music), the Luxembourg
section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM), was founded
in 1983.
The aims of the LGNM are:
• to promote contemporary music, particularly that of Luxembourg;
• to organise concerts, conferences, workshops and events of any
other kind designed to promote contemporary music;
• to develop exchanges and cooperation with national and international
groups or organisations which pursue similar aims;
• to set up a documentation centre for Luxembourg contemporary music;
• to extend its activities to all fields having a direct relationship with these aims.
Since its inception, the LGNM has tried to pursue these
objectives by organising a large number of events of various kinds;
• Classics of the 20th century: This is an annual festival devoted
to composers who have left their mark on the 20th century;
• Symphony concerts: Since 1993, the 10th anniversary of the founding
of the LGNM, special concerts have been given by the Orchestre
Philharmonique du Luxembourg, with Marcel Wengler conducting;
• Exchange concerts: Since 1995 the LGNM has been able to intensify
its contacts with foreign partners and hold exchange concerts in Israel,
Japan, Denmark and Romania. In addition, ensembles and soloists
are regularly invited to concerts of contemporary music in Luxembourg;
• Festivals of Luxembourgish music: The three festivals which
the LGNM has organised were mainly intended to bring Luxembourgish
composers more to the attention of the public;
• Dedicatory concerts: In this series, the concerts are centred around a celebrated composer who is invited for the occasion to Luxembourg. Several world premières have thus seen the light of day, by Ivo Malec, Iannis Xenakis, Silvano Bussotti, Michael Tippett, George Crumb, Maurice Ohana, Witold Lutoslawski.
29
MaerzMusik Festival für aktuelle Musik
• LGNM Editions: Whereas most Luxembourg composers either publish on their own account or have their works published by international publishing houses
to which they are affiliated, LGNM Editions basically promote Luxembourgish music via compact disc. Amongst the 16 CDs published to date, is the Anthology
of Luxembourgish Music, comprising some 22 symphonic works by 16
Luxembourgish composers;
• Luxembourg Sinfonietta: The ensemble Luxembourg Sinfonietta, founded in 1999, has since been endeavouring to make contemporary music accessible to a wider public and to present Luxembourg composers, particularly abroad.
Its first opportunity to pursue this goal was the World Exhibition in Hanover
in 2000 where it represented compositions from Germany, France and Luxem
bourg, under the theme „Lucifer”, for the German Pavilion’s cultural program Expo 2000. Apart from a number of first performances, the Luxembourg Sinfonietta also plays the classics of the past century, as well as its own
arrangements and orchestrations of existing works which thus attain a new dimension and importance.

Art at its best, in confronting us with ourselves, can be a laboratory of transgression, of new thinking, of creation beyond the known. Art enables us to experience
the sublime and to imagine the other, the not yet, the not any longer. Especially
music in its claim to absolute autonomy and abstraction has shown the potential
to grow grains of utopia. The program of MaerzMusik 2010 presents a selection of
new works, which in large part are related – expressly or latently – to the issues of
utopia, memory, death.

These seem to be times of discouragement. Reaction dominates action,
pragmatism and crisis management dominate vision and perspective. Everywhere
(in the West) the fall of ideologies is being proclaimed, utopia is almost a taboo
concept. Yet dialectically, utopia’s loss feeds a longing for orientation and the
necessity of vision. And it is true for both individuals and society: we need hope,
we need perspective, we need a dream of utopia.
International Composition Prize Luxembourg
The International Composition Competition of the Luxembourg Sinfonietta will
take place in future each year. Further information are published under:

50th: the Música Hoje broadcast. During all the year they propose and produce
concerts in Portugal and abroad but also music educational activities as well as
workshops on live electronic.
The Miso Music Portugal Loudspeaker Orchestra is a sound projection system
designed for performing electro-acoustic music with and without the participation
of instrumentalists. The main aim is to introduce an element of interpretation into
the performance of electro-acoustic music, and also to ritualize the act of a concert
performance, allowing for expressive communication with audiences.

Electroacoustic Theatre – Contos Contados Com Som
15th Música Viva Festival 2009, Sonic Spaces & Music Talesm
11-20 September 2009
This project is set out to bring children to music by providing them a unforgettable
contact with new music, stimulating their curiosity for sound, music composition
and new technologies; promoting musical development through aural perception
and creativity. The sound diffused through a small „loudspeaker orchestra” placed
around the audience embraces it and gives a unique perception of sound, music
and the story itself.

The Musik 21 network connects new music initiatives in Niedersachsen, finding
the most diverse and extraordinary formats for 21st-century music – artistic and
performance forms that respond to and create around the regional and cultural
settings of this wide and varied land, and seize this opportunity to carry the music
of our century into the next on a broader and more established basis. We open
up new paths to dialogue with children, young people and adults, stimulate interaction and involve them directly in the process of establishing new music. We link
formative experiences of the modern music repertoire with the resonant diversity
of our age, and encourage a new, cross-generational audience to open their ears,
hearts and minds to all these new sensations.

the Sibelius Academy, the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra and the Helsinki
Festival, which is the coordinator and permanent residence of the festival.

The next festivals will focus on presenting young and upcoming international
composers in relation to already established names, thus establishing a dialogue
around certain diverse themes for each festival and creating a context for Finnish
composers and the national scene that is slowly becoming more diverse and
multicultural.
What does, what will the music of the 21st century sound like? Our mission is
to make this music resound throughout the German federal state of Niedersachsen.

for creativity and innovation. In April 2003, Musik der Jahrhunderte will, together
with the Theaterhaus Stuttgart, move into its newly built performance venues on
Stuttgart’s Pragsattel, resulting in considerable expansion of its activities: music
theater, concert series, festivals, the interaction of differing art forms, courses,
workshops and podiums will make the Pragsattel into a center of innovation in
Europe: a think-tank, laboratory and creative pool for new music.

When posed the question „what could a musikFabrik be?“ a clever primary school
child answered: „That is where they create music that hasn’t been made yet“. That
basically sums up everything in a nutshell. MusikFabrik has been commissioning
new works and performing unknown ones since 1991. It is never just a question
of interpretation, but of taking new paths of development. The Cologne-based
soloist ensemble has built up a close collaboration with prominent conductors and
composers. The ensemble’s guest list is as prominent as it is long. It includes Louis
Andriessen, Stefan Asbury, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Mauricio Kagel, and Helmut
Lachenmann. Zsolt Nagy, Emmanuel Nunes, Peter Rundel, Rebecca Saunders,
Wolfgang Rihm and Hans Zender.
Contrary to what its name suggests, the musikFabrik does not have a boss. With its
democratic base, the musicians themselves take the responsibility for making allimportant decisions. This particularly applies to concert programming, which has
shaped musikFabrik’s very unique profile. Their programmes consist of interdisciplinary projects that can include: live electronics, dance, theatre, film, literature,
visual arts, along with chamber music and the confrontation with works using an
open form and improvisation. The musikFabrik is as open as its mission: To create
music that is not there yet.
musikFabrik in WDR
MusikFabrik has been running its world premiere series in WDR (West-German
Radio) since 2003. This series enables us to broaden our artistic horizons, often
in close collaboration with the composers we commission. Recent events include:
the highly entertaining Vesperbild by Mauro Lanza, the inclusion of live electronics in a premiere work by Michel van der Aa, and the complete Chiffre cycle by
Wolfgang Rihm.

the pieces of the popular Die Stücke der Windrose will be played as well as his
own birthday-tune, Verstümmelte Nachrichten, and his last work, In der

Musikprotokoll Im Steirischer Herbst
October, 2010, Graz Austria
The musikprotokoll at steirischer herbst has been acting as a laboratory and
catalyst of contemporary musical art in Austria for more than forty years: A field for
experiments in acoustic art and also a catapult into the international world of New
Music. In addition to the piano project „Seven Last Words” and the international
special performance project „Touch this Sound!”, 2009 also bills large-format
concerts with the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra and premières of Olga
Neuwirth and Bernhard Gander – a concert in which two young solo stars will
also be performing: Antoine Tamestit, viola, and Marisol Montalvo, soprano.
Klangforum Wien and ensemble recherche perform representative ensemble and
chamber music, with premières of Rebecca Saunders and Johannes Maria Staud,
among others. Soloist recitals by Uli Fussenegger, Franz Hautzinger and others
explore subtle regions of sound and round off this year’s musikprotokoll mosaic
of large form, intermedia experiments and precise chamber music.

November Music is Holland’s most relevant international festival for contemporary music. The festival, which lasts for a number of days, annually takes place in
’s-Hertogenbosch. It cooperates closely with festivals in Flanders, Germany, the
UK, and Italy. November Music specifically focuses on its own productions, and lets
itself be led by the choices of the composers, makers in question. As a result the
programme covers every conceivable contemporary music genre. Particular
attention is paid to young talent.The international character is expressed in various
ways. The festival programme evolves based on an interchange of information
and in collaboration between linked organisations.
Festival productions are presented in different countries. This means that:
•the musicians/ensembles/composers have the opportunity to present their work internationally
•the ‘country or origin’ is involved in exporting culture
•the audience has the chance to get acquainted with a foreign
musician/ensemble/composer
•productions are given the chance to ‘mature’ as more performances
are guaranteed.
In most cases, productions consist of different nationalities. Every year, one or
more musicians, composers, ensembles of „major importance” are invited to
collaborate on productions.
Contemporary music
November Music is convinced that ‘quality’ music is not restricted to one particular
genre. Every style has its pioneers. November Music wants to present a festival
that offers opportunities to the ‘front runners’ of each genre. And of course this
leads to interaction between the various styles and genres. November Music
claims an important position within the Dutch and international musical infrastructure. There is a lively communication with the ensembles and composers of
contemporary music in different countries. Based on these contacts, productions
are initiated and commissions are assigned which are both adventurous and
experimental.
In-house productions and composition assignments
November Music commissions composers to create. November Music creates the
conditions wich enable musicians, ensembles, composers to work on (unpublished)
new concepts. In addition to the „front runners”, November Music also invites
young, talented composers and performers. Without any doubt, the productional
facilities and tradition at November Music and the fact that compositions are
commissioned means that for this category the festival makes it possible to further
55
November Music
their careers in a major way. The productions are set up after consulting with
the musicians, ensembles, composers involved, who are expressly asked to step
outside the boundaries of the frameworks that they normally operate in. Therefore,
the enriching musical experience works in both directions, which is special to the
audience as well as to the musician, ensemble, composer in question. Immediately
after the festival period, November Music Productions may be booked by venues
and festivals in other cities and countries.

The 2009 festival seeks to establish a new position for art music, one as pioneer
not only in music, but also in terms of taking responsibility for our world and its
development. In contrast to the fact that its artistic quality and expressive breadth
have expanded in all directions, contemporary art music has, generally, failed to
make itself a part of the cultural and political discourses. We are convinced that
this can change. Art music can assume a more prominent position in societal and
cultural development. See www.listentotheworld.se

and Eastern Europe. It is still, however, a living organism: it develops and thrives
to the extent that the Polish cultural budget (0.33 %) and the general state of music
allow it to. The Festival is organized by the Polish Composers’ Union (Zwiazek
Kompozytorów Polskich). The Repertoire Committee, which is in turn appointed
by the Board of the Union, determines the program of each particular festival.
Wien
Modern
Musik der gegenwart
Aims: The Union of Bulgarian Composers is a non-profit creative association. One
of its main objectives is to promote the creation, distribution and popularization
of new music and specially Bulgarian musical works. One of the most significant
initiatives of UBC is the annual „New Bulgarian Music Review”, which includes
stage and symphony works, vocal, choral, chamber, children works and pop music.
History: The Union of Bulgarian Composers is successor of the „Contemporary
Music” Society, established on January 24, 1933 by the most distinguished
Bulgarian composers who laid the foundation of the national music style. In 1947
it was renamed Union of Bulgarian Composers, Musicologists and Concert Artists
and since 1954 has become Union of Bulgarian Composers. UBC is divided in
Composer’s Section and Musicologist’s Section. Now there are 160 composers in
the Union of Bulgarian Composers who work in different musical genres and 80
musicologists who work in the field of the Bulgarian and foreign music. Executive
Board since 2005: Velislav Zaimov (President), Stefan Iliev (Secretary General),
Dimitar Nikolov (President of Artistical Fund), Prof. Atanas Atanassov, Prof. Marin
Valtchanov, Prof. Petar Liondiev, Miroslav Danev, Angel Kotev, Veska Tzinandova.
