VISION
CMMAS has high expectations to become the main field in Latin America for creative activity, reflection and specialized learning of the different aspects of contemporary music, with or without new technologies; and to convert it into a link between Mexico and the rest of the world in everything related to music and sound art thus promoting the cultural development within its community.
