A BRIEF HISTORY

The Canadian Music Competition (CMC)  has ensured the vitality of new generations of high-level classical musicians in every community in which it is active, thereby demonstrating its commitment and raison d’être on the Canadian cultural landscape.  CMC operates in 7 provinces across the country and southern Alberta  is a proud part of this organization. The same spirit that motivated the founders remains alive and well today among all the volunteers who contribute to CMC.
