The Next Great Art Song

In July 2015, La Scena Musicale launched a Canadian art song competition called The Next Great Art Song to promote classical music.[3] The competition has two phases. The first is a month-long survey of musicologists, theorists, music critics, and performers from Canada and around the world on the topic of their three favourite art songs. The second phase is an art song composition competition for Canadian composers, which will be evaluated by experts and the public.

Following the completion of the two phases, the top ten favourite art songs from the first phase and the top ten subissions from the composition competition will be featured in a gala concert of Canadian musicians, the location of which is still to be determined.
