The Contemporary Music Centre, Ireland offers various categories of representation to any eligible composer or sound artist working in the area of contemporary art music at a professional level, where music composition forms the primary focus of their practice, and who was born or has been permanently resident on the island of Ireland for five years or longer consecutively.

The Contemporary Music Centre supports a wide range of composition:
– Notated composition
– Electroacoustic music
– Electronics
– Sound art & Radio Art
– Experimental
– Installation sound
– Multimedia, web and film music
– Educational music

The key benefits of representation are the inclusion of composers’ and sound artists’ works and associated materials in the CMC’s collection which, in the new online environment, encourages a focus not only on the work and the composer’s and sound artist’s biography, but on the broader documentation of the context for the work. For composers working with notated music, CMC will make available scores for sale, and for all composers and sound artists represented by the CMC, any recordings or other materials in digital formats can be made available on a commercial or non-commercial basis.

The Contemporary Music Centre offers representation in the following categories

The next assessment will take place in January 2022. Applications submitted before 5pm on Friday 7 January 2022 will be considered at this time.
