Dear Friends,
Like you, we believe the world needs Canadian culture more today than at any time in its past. We believe that young people deserve to learn how to express themselves and tell their own stories through music. And we believe in providing opportunities to support emerging composers; while championing those at the peak of their creative powers.

• Completely renovated and reimagined Vancouver Creative Hub
• Producing landmark documentaries featuring celebrated BC composers
• Recording Barbara Pentland’s opera The Lake
• Beginning our Reconciliation project
• Launching the new Victoria Creative Hub & Rudolf Komorous Library
• Composer In The Classroom now operating in three cities spring and fall
• 40th Anniversary — preserving our history
• New Website
• Jean Coulthard String Quartet Readings
