COMMITTED TO CONTEMPORARY MUSIC

Javier Hagen works together with a global community

national or global citizens – that sustainable change happens.

As one of the most important societies for Contemporary Music,
the ISCM was founded on an initiative of the second Viennese School
during the „Salzburger Festspiele“ in 1922. Founding members were
the composers Bartok, Hindemith, Honegger, Milhaud, Ravel, Berg,
Schönberg, Strawinsky and Webern. The ISCM comprises currently
65 independant sections. Every year it organises a Festival for
contemporary music, the World Music Days (ISCM WMD).
