Dear IMC Members,

We are pleased to announce the selected and recommended work for IRC 2013 which was held in Prague from 28^th to 31^st of May.

For its 60^th Anniversary, the Rostrum gathered representatives from 30 national radio networks from four continents, which presented 51 works composed within the five years preceding the Rostrum. 12 of these works were by composers under the age of 30.

Former IAML President Massimo Gentili Tedeschi has been elected member of the Standing committee of the IFLA Cataloguing section - 2013-2017. We are very lucky to have such an experienced and engaged music cataloguer looking after our interests. Congratulations to Massimo and to IAML!

Dear friends,

Here goes some info on the first Spanish conference devoted to the history and development of jazz music in our country, organized in November 2013 in Valencia. I wish it may be interesting for some of you. Thank you in advance for your attention!

Cordially,

Jorge García

President of Aedom, the Spanish Branch of IAML

Music Department of Culturarts – Generalitat Valenciana

Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the IAML Board, I am delighted to inform you that the Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on the Restructuring of IAML is now available on the IAML website in English, French and German.

Please do take time to read it carefully. It is an excellent document that analyzes how IAML currently works, and offers a suggested path toward a more effective and efficient organization.  

The IAML web site (iaml.info) is to be redesigned to become the central point for storing and making accessible all virtual, public IAML documents. It will be the primary source for providing current information about the organisation for all of its members.
