Purpose

This program supports the development and presentation of all genres of live and virtual music by Ontario-based professional musicians, ad hoc groups, collectives and organizations. The program has six categories:

  • Rehearsal and repertoire development (including first-stage opera workshops)
  • Single performances/concerts
  • Concert series
  • Music festivals
  • Opera productions
  • Second-stage opera workshops

Note: For recording projects, please see the Music Recording Projects program; for music creation projects (composing/songwriting), please see the Music Creation Projects program.

Priorities

The program’s priorities are to support:

  • activities that engage Ontario and Canadian professional musicians with appropriate fees, and support the work of Ontario and Canadian composers and songwriters, unless restricted by genre (for example, early music)
  • projects that advance the development of music in Ontario
  • projects that enhance the range of live and virtual music activity available to the public
  • original work by Ontario-based composers and songwriters used in rehearsal and repertoire development, and second-stage opera workshops
  • activities that, in addition to the above, may contribute to arts education, public participation and community involvement in the arts in Ontario
