Just scroll down to Field 29 - Classical.
In other news, we have added several new articles in our Classical Music section. Also, our IMA Forums are doing very well. We have recently started working on an online catalogue of the IMA Music Archives, a repository for our massive collection of music-related items. As this project progresses, we will continue to post more information.
We have noticed that concert attendance is sometimes quite shaky throughout the Classical Music scene. Because of difficult economic times, poor Classical Music publicity, and our current global society, we are always fighting to keep our musical tradition alive. The International Music Association would like to ask its members to try and see at least one concert this February 2004. While you're at it, invite a few friends along. If you are wondering which concert you should attend, post in the IMA Forums or email us at ima@imusicassociation.com. Remember, if we (as people interested in Classical Music) don't stir up interest in concerts, who will? Just make sure to review any concerts you see on the IMA Web in our Reviews section!
Thanks for your help, support, and contributions to the IMA!
