What is the bmic?
The British Music Information Centre (bmic) is a resource centre for new
music from the UK, holding scores, recordings and biographical information
on modern British composers. Although, historically, bmic has collected
material from composers based throughout the UK, in recent years activity
has focused composers born in or living in England.
