June's La Scena Musicale Celebrates Canada's Classical Music and Arts Festivals
 |
 |
June is another exciting month for La Scena Musicale as we feature our 13th annual National Festival issue. The second of two nationally distributed issues, it appears on May 29 (Quebec Edition) and on June 5 (English Canada Edition) and continues to provide the most complete information to plan a musical summer in Canada, including our 13th annual Guide to Classical Music and Arts Festivals (more than 150 festivals!). This will be the most comprehensive guide yet with 100 classical music festivals and 700 concert listings, as well as 60 arts festivals. Furthermore, our festival picks highlight the most exciting events. For more information on this guides, please consult:

On the cover is Canadian contralto Marie-Nicole Lemieux, who celebrates her first 10 years of career; she returns to Canada to appear at the Lanaudiˆ®re and Knowlton Festivals after a long year abroad. Our festival coverage continues with a look at the business of festivals through interviews with several festival general directors. One year after major changes at CBC Radio, we ask the main players their opinions. Pianist Alain Lefˆ®vre continues his Andrˆ© Mathieu project with the composer's 2nd piano concerto. We look at the music of Henry Purcell, who is celebrated by the Montreal Baroque Festival this year. June will be a Bruckner month in Montreal, as both Symphony # 7 and 8 will be presented; LSM looks at the composer and discusses the works with Raffi Armenian and Yannick Nˆ©zet-Sˆ©guin. The June Discovery CD features the percussionist Marie-Josˆ©e Simard.
The deadline for advertising is May 25 (Quebec Edition) and May 29 (English Canada Edition).

Petition: Restore Canada Council Funding to Controlled-Circulation Magazines
The Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) has recently dropped support for controlled-circulation print magazines in its 2010 application process, rendering La Scena Musicale (LSM), The Music Scene Ontario and La SCENA ineligible to compete for CCA grants. In 2007-08, the Canada Council funded 106 arts & literary magazines for a total of $2,661,900.
We feel that all arts and literary magazines should be treated equally and fairly, and this means the ability to submit an application that is reviewed by a peer jury.
Consequently, La Scena Musicale has launched a campaign to reverse the Canada Council policy change.Please show your support for all controlled-circulation arts magazines (including our family of magazine) by signing up and circulate this appeal.
See our blog article for details: http://www.scena.org/blog/
Online petition: http://www.thepetitionsite.
and a Facebook group Restore Canada Council Funding to Controlled-Circulation Magazines
