Canadian Art Song Project is very pleased to announce Laurence Jobidon and Jesse Plessis as the inaugural mentees in the Chung-Wai Chow and John Wright Art Song Mentorship Programme for Composers!

They will be working with mentors Luna Pearl Woolf and Jocelyn Morlock, respectively.

Canadian composer and organist Laurence Jobidon will be working with Luna Pearl Woolf on her project that sets the poetry of Blanche Lamontagne, the first French-Canadian woman poet to publish under her own name.

Canadian pianist and composer of Métis heritage Jesse Plessis will be working with Jocelyn Morlock on a project entitled ‘Time’s Kiss’ that will interweave texts by Rabindranath Tagore, Anne Carson, and Geneviève Plessis.

A big thank you to this year’s jury and to all who applied. We’re looking forward to the next round of applications next February!

We’re so thankful for the generosity of Chung-Wai Chow and John Wright, long-time supporters of Canadian Art Song Project, for making this programme possible.
