Emerging Artists Tours

Emerging Artists Concerts JM Canada | 2025-2026 Season

CALL FOR AUDITION (closed)

For the auditions of our 2025-2026 Emerging Artists Tours, we are looking for classical, jazz, or world music ensembles or soloists who have developed an idea for a concert aimed at the general audiences.

Emerging artists and professional musicians (between the ages of 18 and 35) are encouraged to submit a concert project through video recordings, which they can communicate their love of classical music.

The choice of repertoire (approximately 80 minutes of music) should reflect the musicians’ musical qualities and have a specific thematic idea of particular interest to them. A Canadian work is required in the concert repertoire. JM Canada is looking for interesting, innovative and inclusive programs. We encourage thoughtful proposals that reach out to diverse Canadian audiences. The inclusion of under-represented or marginalized composers is recommended.

The tour will take place in Quebec and the Maritime provinces and requires that you be available for a period of 4-5 consecutive weeks. This will give you the opportunity to experience different venues while discovering the country. All the logistics of the tour are taken care of by JM Canada.

Register for auditions for upcoming tours!
