Federation of Iberian Associations of Composers
In March 2011, the II FAIC meeting (Federation of Iberian Composers Associations) was held in Murcia.
The creation of FAIC responds to the need of creating a strong and united collective that is capable of undertaking actions at the national level to protect a profession like the composer of non-commercial or consumer music. In that profession, due to its own idiosyncrasy, one has to work in hermitic isolation, fight alone to make place for oneself, to have his voice heard in a society that shows little interest in music that follows the great cultured tradition.
The main objectives are: to defence authors’ rights, pedagogical dissemination among young generations, to promote of the contemporary work of Spanish authors, the creation of a network that keeps Spanish composers in contact.
