About the Canadian Music Competition
The CMC is open to young musicians nationwide who showcase their talent and compete in various musical categories, including piano, strings, voice, woodwinds, brass, and more.
The competition allows young musicians to gain performance experience, receive feedback from expert judges, and potentially win awards and scholarships. CANIMEX aims to promote excellence in music education and support the development of young Canadian musicians.
Participants in the competition are usually required to prepare and perform a selection of pieces within their chosen category. The competition goes through several rounds, leading to semi-final and final performances, where the most outstanding musicians are selected.
