Friends of Canadian Music Award

In 1993 the Canadian League of Composers (CLComp) and the Canadian Music Centre established the Friends of Canadian Music Award to honour individuals committed to Canadian Composers and their Music. The first recipient in 1995 was David Olds.

The honour has since been awarded annually to musicians from various musical disciplines, not all of them composers. In 2011, in addition to the winner, Julian Armour, a special Friends of Canadian Music Award Lifetime Achievement in Canadian Music Scholarship, in celebration of the 60th anniversary of the CLComp, was awarded to Patricia Shand.

Founding of the CBC

Besides hockey and the maple leaf, there is little as symbolically Canadian as the CBC – the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It grew out of a developing nation's need to express its identity and find its voice.
