The International Alliance for Women in Music (IAWM) announces the Annual Call for Works by all IAWM members. We decided to focus purely on electronic media this year, and we will make certain the focus of our annual concert in future years covers a wide variety of instrumental forces. The IAWM Annual Concert 2010 will be held on the 22nd October 2010, 20h, in the Musée des moulages de l'Université de Lyon II, Lyon, France, in conjunction with the Music Season 10/11 of Grame, National Center for Music Creation.
