The Canadian Music Competition is a canadian national organization working in the field of classical music with the goal of supporting and encouraging young Canadian performers. Through its work, the organization encourages musicians to surpass themselves, cultivate discipline and perseverance, sharpen their critical sense and discernment, develop their artistic personality, and grow as performers and human beings. The idea for the Canadian Music Competition initially took shape in 1958 in Montréal. Since then, 14 chapters have been set up to cover all of Canada.
