MUSE : Celebrating Composers Across the Prairies
I am delighted to be writing this introductory address for the inaugural issue of MUSE, a quarterly publication highlighting the extraordinary talents of Prairie Region composers and creators! In addition, our partner podcast Musing: Music, Conversation, Inspiration, was just launched in early January 2025. This weekly podcast features Canadian content, recent album releases, and interviews.
I invite you to explore both of these new initiatives of the Canadian Music Centre Prairie Region, and support live music and artists in your community!
This year, CMC Prairie Region celebrates 45 years of championing and promoting composers and making Canadian music and educational resources available to the public. We will be launching more exciting initiatives to support the musical eco-system across the prairie provinces in the months ahead, we can’t wait to share them with you! CMC is the catalyst that connects you to the ever-evolving world of Canadian musical creation through performance, education, and promotion.
