Urgent appeal to support IMEB – Bourges
Oct 16th, 2009 by U.S.O. Project
The International Institute for Electroacoustic Music, Bourges (IMEB) is in trouble. The regional government has announced its intention to stop funding IMEB immediately, forcing the closure of the institute before the end of 2009. A petition to the Minister of Culture in France, as well as to regional officials, calling for the reversal of this action and for the continuation of financial support, is circulating. Please participate in this appeal by signing the petition at www.supportforimeb.org.
The Institute, through its commissions, residencies, money awards, yearly festivals, CD productions, publications of the Academy and preservation of recordings, has been supporting the endeavors of electroacoustic music composers, performers, scholars and developers for the past forty years. It deserves our support now.
