The Finnish Music Information Centre (Fimic) exists to promote Finnish music over a broad range and with a strategic approach by increasing awareness of music and its creators and by promoting performances of Finnish music. We operate in all genres from contemporary classical music to jazz and from folk music to rock, always in the best interests of composers, lyricists and publishers.
The key task of Fimic is to offer customer services to music professionals in Finland and abroad. Our best product is expertise, and our best service is providing accurate information. Our contacts extend to extensive and confidential networks among the world’s leading decision-makers in the field of music, and we continuously provide consultant services for the media, for festival directors, for agents and for other professionals in questions regarding Finnish music.
We actively publicise Finnish music and its creators on our website and in our newsletters and through the products we publish on Finnish music. We also launch and coordinate projects for promoting Finnish music and bring together similar interests through our contacts with all parties involved in the music business.
Fimic also maintains an extensive sheet music library and distributes, rents and sells printed materials for unpublished Finnish music. Our sheet music library has almost 40,000 titles, of which about 6,000 are in digital form. We make increasing use of new technology in sheet music distribution as in our promotional activities.
Fimic was founded in 1963 and became an autonomous unit of the Finnish Composers’ Copyright Society TEOSTO in 1995. Fimic is a member of the International Association of Music Information Centres (IAMIC) and the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) and is an active participant in the European Music Office (EMO) platform as the representative of TEOSTO. |
