INTERNATIONAL QUALITY MUSIC ASSOCIATION
OUR MISSION
1) To preserve and promote genre-independent high-quality music through emotionally profound, human-centred interpretation, particularly in an era increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence, automation, and commercially driven algorithmic standardisation. This shall be achieved by integrating scientific research, the legacy of interpretive artistry, strategic foresight, global cultural advocacy, and the responsible application of ethical AI technologies.
2) To improve the state of the high-quality music understanding in society that is strongly disoriented by commercial pressures created in order to achieve short-term gains rather than to foster quality.
3) To support and protect musicians who represent the highest musical quality but are not part of any centralised lobby system which enables musicians to popularise their interpretive or creative qualities.

2) Building awareness through publications
3) Helping musicians raise their profile and enabling growth by creating opportunities
4) Safeguarding musicians against dishonest practices imposed by market forces
