Contemporary Music Centre

The Contemporary Music Centre (MMC) fund was created in 1997 as a public organisation with a wish to support the growth of Latvian musicians, promoting the development of music-related events and offering musicians the opportunity to acquire additional education and practice in music genres related to jazz and improvisation. The fundamental aim of the fund was to create an unique event based on the idea of a combined festival and workshops - Rigas Ritmi. As a result of this event, visitors acquire workshops and concert experiences in synchronous terms, but listeners are witnesses to high-quality concerts, involving not only professionals, but also young musicians. The fund organizes international jazz contest Riga Jazz Stage and Art of Riga Jazz concert series as well.
