About Us

Founded in 1983, CMC Ontario Region works province-wide to advance the CMC’s mandate: to promote the music of our Associate Composers, to encourage the performance and appreciation of Canadian music, and to make this music widely available and accessible around the world.

CMC Ontario delivers a balanced portfolio of programs, projects, and services to help promote and distribute Canadian music for performance, recording, broadcast, research, and general appreciation.

CMC Ontario provides a series of public services, including:

• encouraging and answering questions and requests regarding Canadian music;
• providing customized consultations, including the preparation of repertoire lists;
• acting as a liaison between Ontario-based Associate Composers and the public;
• creating opportunities to connect composers to their communities; and
• publishing information about Canadian music online and via our newsletter, Ontario Notations.

Furthermore, CMC Ontario works in partnership with numerous arts organizations to develop greater awareness and appreciation of our Associate Composers’ music through special projects such as:

• Centrevisits
• Class Axe Guitar Workshop
• Generations/Conversations
• New Music for Young Musicians
• Opus Testing
• Score Reading Club
• Wind Composition Project
• Regional Mentorship Network
• CMC Library - Online Residence
• Women in Electronic Music
• Music From Scratch

CMC-Ontario is conveniently located on the main floor of Chalmers House in downtown Toronto. We are here to inform and to serve you. Our doors, phone lines and email boxes are open for you!
