The Pytheas
Center for Contemporary
Music is a wide

promote contemporary composers and their music through information,

The center gets its name from the Pytheas (c. 380 – c. 310 BCE), a Greek explorer, geographer and merchant. He made a voyage of exploration to northwestern Europe around 325 BCE.
He traveled around a considerable part of Great Britain, circumnavigating it between 330 and 320 BCE.
Pytheas is the first person on record to describe the Midnight Sun, the aurora and Polar ice,
and the first to mention the name Britannia and Germanic tribes.
