About the Australian Music Centre
As a national service organisation, the AMC is dedicated to increasing the profile and sustainability of Australian composers and other creative artists.
The AMC facilitates the performance, awareness and appreciation of music by these artists through:
- composer and other creative artist representation and assistance
- resonate – its online magazine;
- library and retail services;
- sheet music publishing;
- and the management, administration and publication of project-based initiatives.
Its library collection holds over 30,000 items by more than 500 artists. The genres of music included in the AMC’s vision are notated composition, electroacoustic music, improvised music (including contemporary jazz), electronica, sound art, installation sound, and multimedia, web and film sound. The AMC fosters the development of an Australian music community by providing specialist support to its membership of performers, composers, sound artists, educators, students, and music specialists across Australia and throughout the world.
It is a member of the International Association of Music Information Centres (IAMIC), a worldwide network of forty organisations in thirty-six countries promoting new music, and co-operates with the Association on issues of common concern.
The Centre is grateful for the core support provided by the Commonwealth Government through the Music Board of the Australia Council, the Australiasian Performings Rights Association and the New South Wales Ministry for the Arts for its contribution to cover costs for NSW services. The Centre is also grateful to a number of organisations for their generous support of it’s activities and other projects. More about the Centre's funding…
