We would like to thank the SOCAN Foundation for their continued support of the Alliance for Canadian New Music Projects. With their support and yours, we can continue to promote the performance and creation of Canadian music.
Our webmaster has been working hard to update the program which stores our syllabus entries. We are in the process of updating our entries to give you more Canadian music to explore! We aren’t quite done yet but wanted to get some rough updates up for you. Here is a draft of updates for Brass and Percussion from our call for scores!
We appreciate your patience as we are continuing to update software and are continuing to update our entries.
Thank you to our participants in local Contemporary Showcase Festivals and for your hard work and dedication. Every year some of these performers are nominated for consideration for our National Award Scholarships.
After some hard deliberation on the part of our adjudicators for National Awards the scholarship winners have been chosen. All the candidates were wonderful representatives for their local centres and have shown great commitment to excellence. Please join me in congratulating the winners of our National Awards.
