The Japan Federation of Composers Inc. (JFC)

When established in 1962, we started as a union of composers, but later changed our name to the Japan Federation of Composers (JFC), which incorporated in 1983.

The JFC's primary objectives are to promote the activities of composers, to improve the condition of composers and to contribute to society through musical activities.

Most of the JFC's activities are supported by membership fees and subsidies from various foundations and organisations.

Our activities are numerous and include:

・Concerts

  "Japanese Composers", "JFC Independent", "Asian Tradition / Asian

　Contemporary", "To the Children – JFC Kid's Box Piano concert" are

　all held annually.

・Competition "JFC Award Competition"

　This competition began in 2001 and has been held every other year since 2010.

・Bulletin

　Published four times annually.

・International Exchange

　Exchange concerts have been held in South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and

　Australia in the past.

　The next concert in Thailand is planned for August 2019.

　The JFC is an official member of the Asian Composers League (ACL) and

　an associated member of the International Society for Contemporary Music

　(ISCM).

・Research

　"Asian Composers in the 20th Century" (English/Japanese) was published in

　2001.

　The concert and exhibition "Arts with Disabilities" was held in 2017, supported

　by the Agency  for Cultural Affairs.

・International Festivals

　ACL festivals were held in 1974, 1990, 2000, 2003, 2014, and 2022.
