Introducing the Fellows for the MusiCounts Fellowship for Emerging Songwriters & Composers!

The MusiCounts Fellowship for Emerging Songwriters & Composers is a new era in Canadian repertoire. This national program is designed to elevate Canada’s next generation of music creators, while closing a unique gap in the educational landscape by generating accessible music resources for classroom use across the country.

By early 2027, there will be new, contemporary Canadian music for classrooms nationwide and for the CBC Canadian Music Class Challenge, powered by MusiCounts - created by the Songwriter & Composer Fellow pairs.

We will be spotlighting the pairs over the next few months on our website and socials. Please look forward to getting to know each of the Songwriter & Composer Fellows and their work.

Voici les lauréats de la Bourse MusiCounts pour les auteurs-compositeurs et compositeurs émergents!

La Bourse MusiCounts pour les auteurs-compositeurs et compositeurs émergents marque une nouvelle ère pour le répertoire canadien. Ce programme national a pour objectif de mettre en avant la prochaine génération de créateurs musicaux canadiens, tout en comblant une lacune unique dans le paysage éducatif en proposant des ressources musicales accessibles destinées à être utilisées en classe dans tout le pays.

D’ici le début de 2027, il y aura de la nouvelle musique canadienne contemporaine dans les salles de classe à l’échelle nationale et pour le Défi canadien des classes de musique de la CBC, propulsé par MusiCounts — créée par les duos de lauréats auteurs-compositeurs et compositeurs.

Au cours des prochains mois, nous mettrons ces duos à l’honneur sur notre site Web et sur nos réseaux sociaux. Nous vous invitons à découvrir chacun des lauréats auteurs-compositeurs et compositeurs, ainsi que leur travail.
