Under the motto “Shaping the  Future for Contemporary Music”, ARTMUSFAIR 2009 in Glasgow/Scotland aims to bring together contemporary classical/art music composers from all over Europe to share their different and common experiences, to celebrate some of the best of contemporary composition, to look at the place of the composer in today’s society and generally to raise the profile of the contemporary composer.

ARTMUSFAIR.2009 in Glasgow is to coincide with an already planned major series of concerts by the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in celebration of the 75th birthday of the internationally acclaimed Scottish composer, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, for which he will be in attendance.
