CORCORAN Frank.
Ireland.
I participated in the IMEB Competition 1999. My ” SWEENEY´S VISION ” ( 1997 WDR Cologne Commission ) was awarded a Premier Prix.
IMEB Competition was
EXCELLENTLY conceived and administered. It contributed GREATLY to my career as a composer !
It is a shame on the French Ministry of Culture to withdraw vital support from IMEB and to force it to
close this July 2011. IMEB was foremost in its field; a flag-ship for French musical culture and for
international electronic music in all its many facets.
A great shame for this great cultural nation.
