Canada

70 years promoting music in Canada!

JM Canada (Jeunesses Musicales Canada) was born on August 23, 1949 following a meeting between Father J.H. Lemieux, Anaïs Allard-Rousseau, and Laurette Desruisseaux-Boisvert, who were brought together in St-Hyacinthe on the initiative of Gilles Lefebvre. Lefebvre suggested linking all the existing societies devoted to cultural activities among young people, and submitted a plan of action calling for concert tours, new lines of administrative co-operation, scholarships, a summer camp, a permanent home, and exchanges between young performers.
 
JM Canada is affiliated with JM International (JMI), considered by UNESCO as the world’s leading cultural organization dedicated to youth and music. JM Canada is supported by the JM Canada Foundation as well as the three levels of government. 
 
During a Season, JM Canada (JMC) presents some 1,600 concerts and workshops with more than 120 artists, creators and presenters in Québec, Ontario and Maritimes. All in all, the JMC concert tours visit more than 130 Canadian cities in a year. This is why JMC is the most important classical music distributor and producer in Canada, with an annual audience of 130,000 (including 103,000 children ages 3 to 12).
