Since 2021, Vertixe Sonora is the Spanish Section of the International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM). That is the return of Spanish representation at the ISCM after several years. An important aspect of the organisation's role is to convene an annual jury to select Spanish works that will be considered for performance at the ISCM's World Music Days festival.
