After WW2, active members of the chapter, such as the composers Jeronimas Kačinskas, Vytautas Bacevičius, Vladas Jakubėnas, and others ended in emigration to the USA. As early as 1940, Soviet occupation terminated the activities of the said organisation, as well as of numerous other artistic and cultural societies of independent Lithuania. For decades, the fact of Lithuanian composers’ participation in the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) in the period from 1936 to 1939 kept providing an influential story that consolidated the self-awareness of the involvement of modern Lithuanian music in the European music modernisation processes. The Lithuanian Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music which functioned for only a short 4-year period (1936–1939) can be attributed to typical organisations of small countries stimulated by an international movement of modern music.
In the said context not only the artistic, but also the political contexts of the Society activity are important. With the aim of including the modern music movements in Kaunas and Vilnius in the international context, this book presents a critical review of ISCM strategies and a history of festivals in the interwar and early Cold War periods. The subject of the present book is the activity of the Lithuanian Section of the ISCM, its pre-history (1936–1939) and reception, as well as the history of the Vilnius Chapter of the Polish Section of the ISCM (later renamed the Polish Society for Contemporary Music) which is seen as integral part of the modernisation of Lithuanian and international musical culture.
