Internationally renowned for unparalleled contributions to modern music, the AACM is commemorating its 50th anniversary throughout 2015. Founded in Chicago in the midst of the Civil Rights Movement, the vanguard institution had the audacity to compose, perform, publish, own, and institutionalize their own music and to prepare future exponents of their genre-bending, experimental form through the free AACM School of Music.
