The Utrecht School of the Arts opens its doors to the 6th ELIA Teachers' Academy 2013 - 'Preparing the Artist of Tomorrow' held 24 - 26 June 2013 in Utrecht and Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

The Teachers' Academy is an international platform for ideas and practices for teachers in artschools in Europe and beyond. Its main aim is to contribute to the professional development for lecturers in higher arts education.

[From the European Music Council's Newsletter 02/2013]

Recently, the Association Européenne de Conservatoires (AEC) has undergone two major exciting changes. First, in January 2013, its offices were relocated from Utrecht to Brussels. This will help AEC's advocacy for European higher music education.

Our Webmaster, Gabriele Gamba, is getting married to Marta Crippa today.

Hip Hip Hurray!

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!
