CALL FOR AUDITIONS
We are now accepting applications from classical or world music artists and ensembles to audition for the 2027–2028 Pan-Canadian tour – Road trip!, in collaboration with Prairie Debut and Debut Atlantic.
Emerging artists and professional musicians are encouraged to submit a concert project, in which they tell us about their passion for music and entertaining audiences.
The choice of repertoire (approximately 90 minutes of music) should reflect the musicians’ musical qualities and have a specific thematic idea of particular interest to them. A Canadian work(s) is required in the concert repertoire. We are looking for interesting, innovative and inclusive programs that will appeal to a diversity of audiences who may not be familiar with this genre of music. We encourage thoughtful proposals that connect with a diversity of Canadian audiences. The inclusion of underrepresented and/or marginalized composers is encouraged.
The third edition of Roadtrip! will run from September 2027 to April 2028, featuring performances across Canada. This is a unique opportunity for emerging musicians to share their artistry while building meaningful connections with communities nationwide.
