Israel Music Institute

The Israel Music Institute (IMI) is the first publicly-owned music publishing house in Israel; it also serves as an information centre, dedicated to the promotion of Israeli concert music. It is a non-profit organization supported by the Israel Ministry of Culture and Sport and the Tel Aviv Yafo Municipality.
The institute was established in 1961 by the Israel Council for Culture and Arts, an adjunct of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports, with the aim of publishing and promoting Israeli concert music by all means possible. Since its establishment, IMI has acquired the rights to more than 3500 compositions by some 250 Israeli composers. The Institute represents several of the most important composers working in Israel since 1920.
