International Music Council

The International Music Council (IMC) is the world's largest network of music organizations and institutions, founded in 1949 by UNESCO. IMC is dedicated to advocating for the essential music rights of individuals globally, uniting diverse voices to promote the Five Music Rights. Through advocacy efforts, education initiatives, and collaboration with a network of music professionals, IMC seeks to enhance the visibility and accessibility of music around the world.

IMC’s services include raising awareness about music rights, facilitating partnerships among music organizations, and enabling initiatives that advance these rights. Their ambitious Fair Music Project aims to transform the landscape of music streaming, ensuring that artists are fairly compensated for their work. The council continually evolves its strategic direction through leadership transitions and active engagement with its members, as highlighted in recent elections for its Executive Board.

With a dedicated approach, IMC promotes a thriving and equitable music ecosystem, supporting emerging artists while championing cultural development worldwide
