Grame, Centre national de création musicale — Lyon
Created by Pierre Alain Jaffrennou and James Giroudon in 1982, and recognized as a national
centre for musical creativity in 1996, Grame’s mission is to support the conception and
production of new works, to insure their dissemination, to contribute to the development of
scientific and musical research, and to build bridges between new music and audiences.
As part of its mission, Grame organizes its activities around various main areas:
the creation, production, and dissemination of mixed music alongside a composer-
in-residence programme;
research on music and computers;
educational outreach for various audience types.
Between 1992 and 2002 Grame produced Musiques en Scène, an annual multi-disciplinary
festival devoted to musical creativity that has since become a biennial event alternating with
Les Journées Grame. With its research laboratory, two composition studios, and a team of
associated composers and performers, Grame and its composers-in-residence together give
some twenty world premieres every year of mixed music concerts, musical theatre pieces,
public events, and sound installations. It regularly undertakes international activities with
partners from North America, China and Europe in the areas of new musical creativity,
research, and training, mainly with the support of the European Commission.
