Late-1940s West Germany became the global center of new music

Evidence

During the late 1940s, West Germany started to become the focus of the musical avant-garde. Events like the Darmstadt International Vacation Courses on New Music, late-night programmes on the decentralized federal public broadcasting system, the Donaueschingen Music Festival, and the Musica Viva concerts in Munich, made the Federal Republic into a mecca for new music. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 539
