The CIA is the accordion member of the International Music Council (IMC), an Official NGO partner of UNESCO. In 1975, the CIA was the first instrument specific organization to be accepted into the IMC. The IMC was founded in 1949 at the request of UNESCO as an advisory body on musical matters. Mirco Patarini and Kimmo Mattila explained to the newly elected IMC Board and President, the main activities of the CIA and described the main working processes of the CIA. For example the election process and finances works well in the CIA and the importance of live events (instead of online) and face-to-face meetings, also being an important part of the CIA success. As IMC approaches its 75th anniversary in 2024, this 40th General Assembly will be a key moment for the life of the international organisation. Some 120 members from all continents, representing a large range of the international music ecosystem, came together in Rabat to shape IMC’s future actions around its core values embedded in the Five Music Rights. IMC previously held a successful General Assembly in Rabat in 2015 and the 2023 'Visa for Music' has become a unique event bridging Africa with the international music communities. 'Visa for Music' also hosts conferences, speed-meetings, workshops, and training sessions to multiply encounters and offer multiple opportunities. |
