Irish Composer: CORCORAN Frank.
Age : 67 years . Ireland.
I participated in the IMEB Competition 1999. My ” SWEENEY´S VISION ” ( 1997 WDR Cologne
Commission ) was awarded a Premier Prix.
IMEB Competition was
EXCELLENTLY conceived and administered. It contributed GREATLY to my career as a composer !
It is a great shame that the French Ministry of Culture has chosen to withdraw vital support from IMEB and to force it to
close this July 2011….
IMEB was foremost in its field; it was a flag-ship for French musical culture and for
international electronic music in all its many facets.
Yes. A great shame for this great cultural nation. A great shame ! “Mor mo naire !”
