Besides the main contest, CIMCL and NomadPlay were joining forces to hold a free digital chamber music competition for young pianists and cellists aged between 7 and 14 years for the second consecutive year.

Another project, the CIMCL Laboratory, is made up of cultural actions and specific measures in the community: each year, long-term collaborations are organised with the University Lumière Lyon 2, the Hospitals, the Colleges of the City, the National High Conservatory of Music and Dance of Lyon, ProQuartet and Auditorium-Orchestre National de Lyon. They enable the competition to implement educational, scientific and civic actions.

The Lyon International Chamber Music Competition was founded in 2004 by singer Jol Nicod. Seven disciplines alternate over the years: piano trio, string quartets, wind quintets, brass quintets, voice and piano duets, cello and piano, violin and piano.
