Dear representatives of broadcasting organisations,

We are pleased to inform you that the 70th International Rostrum of Composers (IRC) will be held May 14 – 17 2024, in Vilnius, Lithuania.

The IRC will be organised for the first time ever in Lithuania thanks to the cooperation with the LRT KLASIKA.

As is IRC tradition, delegates will have the opportunity to network and have an insight into the local cultural scene through a side programme which will be enriched by a special 70th anniversary celebration.

After seven decades, the IRC continues to be the most important platform for exchanging contemporary music through radio broadcasting and a major opportunity for professional development and exchange between radio producers and presenters.

More than 30 national radios from all over the world regularly participate and exchange their contemporary music productions. Just to give you an idea, for the last two editions only, some 100 recent works have been presented and then broadcast by participating radios more than 2000 times in cooperation with our partner EBU – European Broadcasting Union.

In addition to the unique exposure generate by broadcast, selected composers are offered additional opportunities, prizes and a commission thanks to the generous support of our partners RTP – Radio Television Portugal, Norrlandsoperan AB and Universal Editions.

More information will be published soon! In the meanwhile, please mark the dates in your calendars without delay and do not hesitate to get in touch with us for further information!

Please note that registration will open in March, but you can already start thinking about the best composers to present!

With kind regards,

The IMC Team
