Plans for 2023

The ISCM General Assembly has granted its approval for the 2023 World New Music Days to take place in South Africa, the first time this festival has ever taken place on the continent of Africa. The 2023 edition will also be of particular significance as it will be the centenary of the very first ISCM Festival.

ISCM2023 in South Africa is being planned by the ISCM South Africa Section for 24 November – 3 December 2023. There will soon be a Call for Works, and we expect to announce details around 20 January 2023. The call will close on 20 March 2023, and the final announcements of selected works will be made by 24 May 2023.

Please come back to this page for updates which will post as soon as we have them.
