fair music @ The international Rostrum

International Rostrum of Composers    
From Tuesday, 07 June 2011
To Friday, 10 June 2011



The fair music initiative will be present at the International Rostrum of Composers.
The fair music project partners will participate in this flagship project of the International Music Council, demonstrating why the fair music initiative is considered an exemplary project.
The IRC is an international forum of representatives from broadcasting organisations who come together for the purpose of exchanging and broadcasting contemporary music. The Rostrum was founded in 1954 as a flagship project of the International Music Council, an international NGO whose objective is to promote diverse music worldwide. This year, the 58th edition of the Rostrum will be hosted by ORF in Vienna between June 7th and 10th.

The International Rostrum of Composers is one of the most important projects in promoting contemporary music. In its almost 60-year history, the IRC has revealed the emergence of many of the world`s most gifted composers whilst they are still young. Famous composers such as Luciano Berio, Witold Lutoslawski, Thomas Adès and Louis Andriessen had their first international successes when they were presented at the Rostrum.
