Press Release
MONTREAL, OCTOBER 22, 2025 – The Jeunesses Musicales Canada Foundation kicks off its annual fundraising campaign with a goal to raise $40,000 to bring music into the lives of young people across the country.
Under the theme “Bring Music into Their Lives,” the 2025–2026 campaign highlights a simple but powerful idea: every donation is a key that opens a door for a child or a young artist — a door to discovery, self-expression, and the future.
“Every gift opens doors to a first concert, a possible dream, a musical future. Together, we have the power to change lives through classical music,” said Véronique Desjardins, Executive Director of the Foundation.
A Commitment to Developing Music for our Youth
For over 40 years, the Foundation has supported the work of Jeunesses Musicales Canada, an organization that introduces thousands of children each year to classical music through:
- Educational concerts in schools
- Music awareness workshops
- Structured support for emerging young artists on the national stage
The 2025–2026 campaign also features a peer-to-peer crowdfunding component, inviting the public to create a personalized fundraising page and rally their networks to amplify their impact.
A National Campaign with Local Impact
Funds raised will help:
- Offer musical activities to children in vulnerable situations
- Support young talents in their training, touring, and notoriety
- Promote cultural inclusion across the country — including remote regions — through the JMC network of regional chapters
