The American Music Center is the most innovative information and resource center for American contemporary music and jazz. Since its founding by Aaron Copland and other composers in 1939, the American Music Center has promoted the creation, performance, and appreciation of a diverse spectrum of contemporary American music. We are now a national service organization with over 2500 members and a national Board of Directors. By administering grant programs, updating members on opportunities, providing information services, and circulating a library of 55, 000 contemporary scores and recordings, the Center provides the information and support which unites composers, performers, presenters and audience members. Our professional staff provides extensive expertise in a variety of fields within contemporary American music, answering over 30,000 requests for information annually via our World Wide Web site, email, fax, telephone, and on-site visits. Our funders include government, foundation, and corporate sources, as well as our members and individual supporters. Every year, we help bring about more than 1000 performances of new music and jazz.
