Considering the difficulty of facing international actions in the short term, Ibermúsicas reorganized its efforts to continue providing tools that promote the work of musics, musicians and professionals of the Latin American musical activity. In this frame, its annual call was opened with the following lines of aid:

Aid to the music sector in virtual mode

Within the framework of the extreme complexity that the contingency of the pandemic has caused for the community in general and for the music sector in particular, and considering the difficulty of programming international actions in the short term in the face of the current changing reality, Ibermúsicas reorients its objectives in order to continue providing tools to strengthen the sector. From this new virtual modality, not only the historical calls of the Program are integrated, but also the grants for composition residencies, for training processes, but also invites you to design and create innovative forms of cooperation in research, approach, experimentation and development of Ibero-American music.
