The International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) has announced the results of its 2016 elections for president, vice presidents and board of directors.
Electronic music pioneer, composer and producer Jean-Michel Jarre was re-elected as president for a three-year term.
Three of CISAC’s vice presidents were also re-elected; Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter Angélique Kidjo from Benin, Argentinean director Marcelo Piñeyro and celebrated Senegalese sculptor Ousmane Sow.
The confederation also announced the election of award-winning Chinese film director, scriptwriter and producer Jia Zhang-ke as vice president.
The elections took place during CISAC’s 2016 General Assembly, which this year also marked the organisation’s 90th anniversary.
CISAC was established in Paris in 1926 by a small group of likeminded societies that shared a common goal - to represent the interests of authors - and a common model, the collective management of rights.
Ninety years later, CISAC has grown into the leading global network of authors’ societies, with 230 members representing over four million creators from all artistic fields: music, audiovisual, drama, literature and visual arts.
