2026年度主题 Theme of IDMIC 2026
长江传承
Heritage of the Yangtze River
长江是中国最长的河流,被誉为中国人民的母亲河。这条发源自青藏高原唐古拉山脉的大江自西向东跨越中国大陆,沿途流经数百个城市后汇入东海。奔腾的江水哺育出璀璨的文明,文明的歌谣在大江的两岸传唱,江水的回响超越时间与空间,带来关于文化、艺术与历史的记忆:
雄浑激越的长江号子在江上回响,声声呐喊千山应;
巧夺天工的大足石刻在江畔矗立,三千诸佛云中现;
重岩叠嶂的重庆,九省通衢的武汉,兼容并蓄的上海,数以百计的城市在江岸繁荣生息……
长江是中华文明的灵动记忆,也是无数创作灵感迸发的源泉。2026年,IDMIC国际数字音乐赛事将以长江传承 Heritage of the Yangtze River为主题,面向全球征集数字音乐作品,一起探索、演绎与传承长江的音乐记忆。
The Yangtze River, the longest river in China, is often celebrated as the Mother River of China. Rising from the majestic Tanggula Mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it journeys eastward across the vast expanse of China before finally reaching the East China Sea. Along its course, it nourishes hundreds of cities and gives birth to one of the world's most enduring civilizations.
For thousands of years, the river has carried not only water, but also stories, memories, and cultural legacies. Its flowing currents echo with the spirit of generations, connecting the past with the present through music, art, and history.
The powerful chants of Yangtze boat trackers are resonating across the waters, their voices rising with the rhythm of the river. The sound echoed through the mountains, resonating with each other…
The magnificent Dazu Rock Carvings stand proudly along its banks, with thousands upon thousands of sacred Buddha statues emerging from the clouds…
From the dramatic landscapes of Chongqing, to the crossroads of Wuhan, to the cosmopolitan vitality of Shanghai, countless cities have flourished beside the river, each contributing to the rich cultural tapestry of the Yangtze…
The Yangtze River is a living archive of Chinese civilization and an endless source of artistic inspiration. In 2026, the theme of the International Digital Music Innovation Competition (IDMIC) will beHeritage of the Yangtze River. We are now inviting digital music works from all over the world to explore, interpret and inherit the musical memories of the Yangtze River.
