I CARE IF YOU LISTEN

I CARE IF YOU LISTEN, known affectionately as ICIYL, is an award-winning multimedia hub situated in the United States. Established in 2010, ICIYL focuses on creating a dedicated platform for contemporary classical music creators. Initially operating as an all-volunteer organization, ICIYL now operates as a division of the American Composers Forum, offering equitable compensation for contributors and staff. ICIYL stands out through a blend of musical criticism, promotional features, and multimedia content aimed at advocating for artists historically underrepresented in Western classical music. Their mission emphasizes highlighting equitable programming, fostering dialogue, cultivating a safe space for discussion, and developing educational resources. ICIYL seeks to become a leading voice within the contemporary classical music scene by providing a platform for diverse and often marginalized voices.
