ComAV

The Flanders Composers Archipelago (‘Componisten Archipel Vlaanderen vzw) is a group dedicated to the interests of composers active in the Flemish part of Belgium and Brussels. Composers of all styles of music are eligible for membership. ComAV was founded in 2003 and has 185 members forming a cross section of composing in Flanders.
The aims of ComAV are to contribute to a constructive climate for musical composition in Flanders and to create favourable circumstances in which the broadest possible spectrum of musical composers can flourish. The name “archipelago”, a collection of islands, is a metaphor for composers’ inherent independence. ComAV’s activities are directed towards the common ground, or perhaps open sea, where composers’ interests meet.
