Hello!
On behalf of La Scena Musicale’Äôs dedicated staff and volunteers, I want to wish you a Happy 2010. We began the New Year with a new blog Today’Äôs Classical Music Video as part of our 2010 digital strategy, which presents a music video pick each day.
Unfortunately, the year has already its share of sad music news. Record producer Pierre Dionne (of XXI Records), a dear friend to LSM and the Canadian classical music community, lost his battle with cancer last week. See below for funeral details.
In February, La Scena Musicale shines the spotlight on the young and budding musician.
- Gracing our cover are pianist Wonny Song and violinist Alexandre da Costa, who both started their musical careers as young teens and serve as role models for other young musicians.
- The monthly Discovery CD (in collaboration with XXI Records) will feature a double program by both Song (Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition) and da Costa (Vivaldi's Four Seasons).
- This month’Äôs focus on primary, secondary, and private music education includes our annual guide to schools plus related calendars, tips and articles, including conversations with top music educators, musicological scientists, professional adult and young performers.
- Interview with 14 year old piano prodigy Jan Lisiecki.
- Readers will also learn more about Yannick Nˆ©zet-Sˆ©guin and the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra’Äôs first ever North American tour which begins in February,
- Montreal news such as the upcoming MusiMars Festival and the McGill Chamber Orchestra, which celebrates an important anniversary in 2010.
- La Scena Musicale sits down with Prix d’ÄôArts-Affaires winner Maurice Forget, Apˆ©ro ˆÝ l’ÄôOpˆ©ra of the Opˆ©ra de Montrˆ©al winner Annie Sanschagrin and soprano Danielle de Niese.
- Aria of the Month: The heart wrenching "Vissi d'arte" from Puccini's Tosca
The deadline for advertising in the February 2010 issue is January 25 with artwork due on January 26.
January Sale - Why not consider a subscription?
Until January 31, 2010, new subscribers will get $10 off an LSM subscription if they subscribe online. This savings is equivalent to receiving 4 free issues, and the subscription include benefits such as the Naxos Music Library and free MP3 downloads of the Discovery CD Collection (10 full CDs). Note: New for 2010, only paying subscribers will receive the physical Discovery CD.
For non-Canadian readers, we recommend the new environment-friendly La SCENA Green Card for only $25/year. See below for more details.
Fundraising
Finally, we are launching our Endowment Fund Campaign: For every dollar we raise, the Quebec government Placement Culture program will match it with $1.50. Our goal is to raise $100,000 to create a $250,000 endowment fund that will ensure the continued excellence and longevity of our magazines. Please donate or join our fundraising committee. See below. For Montreal readers, we are also raising funds by selling tickets to the Montreal Opera’Äôs production of Tosca for February 11, 2010 (Tickets: $46 to $99).
All the best for 2010.
Yours sincerely,

NEW Endowment Fund:
Our application for the matching program, Placement Culture, has formally been accepted: for every dollar donated to LSM/TMS, the Quˆ©bec government will contribute one dollar and fifty cents. Placement Culture is designed to create endowment funds for charitable arts groups like La Scene Musicale/The Music Scene. Our goal is to raise $100,000 until November 30, 2010, which combined with the government contribution, will create a $250,000 endowment. This will help us continue our magazines's excellence and innovation for years to come. We are therefore launching at this time our 2010 endowment fund campaign. Please join our fundraising committee or make a donation.
Please contact 514-948-2520 or info@lascena.org
