The American Music Center is a national service organization and information center dedicated to building a national community for new American Music. AMC advocates for the community through NewMusicBox, its award-winning web magazine, and Counterstream Radio, a 24-hour online station broadcasting music by a broad range of U.S. composers. AMC supports the community by administering $1.5 million in grants to individuals and organizations each year, and by offering professional development tools for artists. AMC connects the community with an array of information services designed to facilitate performances, including a vast, searchable online database of more than 40,000 works by American composers; publications and directories compiling opportunities in new music and other information useful to industry professionals; and benefits and services for nearly 2,500 members in all fifty states and around the world.
