CNMN: Forum 2009

Audience Development, Creative Music and Education: Building the Future

February 27-28, 2009

Organized by the CNMN, in collaboration with: MNM, CMC, FAMEQ.

For creative concert music of all genres to flourish, there must be a strong connection with the Canadian public. How do we make and expand that connection? FORUM 2009 explores ways of using creative music as both an audience development tool and as an educational focus, bringing together artists, organisations and educators in order to build new partnerships, to make new music and creative music education at the heart of the Canadian musical experience.
