Links to 43 member organisations in 38 countries. Music Information Centres across the world bear fundamental similarities: they provide specialised music resources for music students, performers, composers and music teachers; they act as visitor centres for any member of the public with an interest in learning about national musical heritage; they develop audiences for new music through educational and promotional projects.
