Culture

National Center for Music Creation VOCE

The cultural project of CNCM Voce is anchored in the idea that contemporary musical creation, in its most innovative aspect, is not necessarily the prerogative of capitals or agglomerations, and that it can, even that it must, be anchored in a rural territory provided that this one is rich in a strong musical tradition, as is the case in Balagne and more widely in Corsica.
