Dear friends and colleagues,
Please find below a selection of news and announcements from our member associations.
This edition brings together developments in competitions, education, cultural advocacy and international cooperation published during September and October 2026. From ministerial patronage for the European Championship for Wind Orchestras in Stuttgart to the return of Saint Cecilia celebrations to the restored Basilica in Norcia, the stories collected here show a network that is active, generous and outward-looking.
A separate section highlights current events and opportunities for which publication dates could not be confirmed, followed by a calendar of upcoming dates and a full list of sources so that every item can be read in the original.
We wish you an inspiring read — and look forward to your news for the next edition.
With best wishes,
CISM — International Confederation of Music Societies
