Special Request from Commission Chairs
Dear All,
As ISME celebrates 70 years this July, we would like to put together a CMA picture slideshow. There have been many great memories of everyone throughout these years. Moments of social connection, idea sharing, growing, exploring, laughing, and making new friends.
We want to take a minute and appreciate all those memories, but to do so we need your help. Please send us photos of the good times you had during a CMA event, at any given year. It can be during a social movement or of you presenting your work. Please send them to [email protected] before the end of 14th of June.

Welcome message from Commission Chairs
On behalf of the CMA Commission, we welcome you to Save the Dates (23-26 July, 2024) for our Community Music Activity Pre-Conference in Tampere, Finland. We are in the early planning stages and looking forward to our in-person seminar in a few short months. A special thank you to our hosts, Tampere University, for your partnership and collaboration. Our CMA Pre-Conference will include three full-days of presentations, workshops, posters, student sessions, and performances. We will be offering a welcome reception at the Vapriikki Museum on 23 July, an optional boat cruise with dinner and concert on 24 July, and a conference dinner on 26 July, our final day of the seminar. On Saturday 27th July we are planning for an optional day-trip excursion, or you are welcome to explore and travel on your own. Tampere is located about two hours north of Helsinki. A train is easily accessible in both cities and includes lovely views of Finland along the route. We will also build in time to experience Finland’s saunas and enjoy the music in Tampere!
Established in 1982, the Community Music Activity (CMA) Commission held its first independent seminar in 1988. First established under the name Education of the Amateur Commission in 1974, followed by Out of School Activities Commission in 1976, CMA continues to believe that everyone has the right and ability to make, create and enjoy their own music and that active music-making should be encouraged and supported at all ages and at all levels of society. The Community Music Activity Commission strives to work towards the principles of inclusivity, equity, hospitality, cultural democracy, social justice and hospitality, and their context dependent applications in music making practice. In the commission we consider, explore, and celebrate communities' expressions of artistic, social, political and cultural concerns.
The Community Music Activity Commission is looking forward to welcoming you from 23-26 July, 2024 in Tampere, Finland!
