Welcome to CMC BC
The Canadian Music Centre BC exists to champion Canada’s extraordinary composers, help bring their music to life, and foster the next generation of composers through dedicated educational programs.
.
In short, we offer ourselves as a resource centre to the new music community of BC by sponsoring concerts featuring BC composers, publishing Centrepulse, our bi-weekly Enews, producing dozens of new score videos each year, and presenting awards encouraging performances of Canadian works at music competitions.
.
We also offer an Artist in Residency program and Indigenous Artist in Residency program, an extensive, free lending library of Canadian scores, a custom music print & bind service, and our performance space the Murray Adaskin Salon.
.
To help discover and support the next generation of composers, we offer $5,000 in university-level scholarships every year, we present Awards for Outstanding Composition to winners of composition competitions across the province, sponsor composition workshops for emerging composers put on by other organizations, and produce our own free of charge. We also offer Composer in the Classroom programs to public schools.
.
Our Video Channel offers nearly 200 unique music videos and score videos.
.
And our unique BC Digital Archive, featuring more than 26,000 artefacts, now offers a rich history of new music in BC and of our composer’s performances abroad.
.
The Canadian Music Centre in BC is grateful to have the privilege of fulfilling our mission on the traditional territories of the Coast Salish Peoples including the Tsleil-Waututh (səl̓ilw̓ətaʔɬ), Kwikwetlem (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), Squamish (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw), Musqueam (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) and Stó:lō First Nations.
