Canadian Contemporary Music Workshop

The Canadian Contemporary Music Workshop (CCMW) 

is a niche organization run by composers for composers. The focus of our activity is workshops that give emerging composers unfettered access to professional musicians. This will allow the composers to see their pieces rehearsed, the struggles that arise during that process, and the players’ immediate feedback in terms of how to make improvements. Composers will also get feedback from the experienced CCMW composer-advisors. This is a best case scenario for composers on the cusp of their careers. They get practical advice on how to improve their work from some of the top players in Canada, while at the same time receiving guidance from a compositional point of view. This holistic approach is unique in Canada and extremely important in improving the quality of composers’ output, and fostering the talent of tomorrow.
