The Coalition for Music Education in Canada is holding a Music Monday Showcase Concert – a signature event meant to capture the spirit of Music Monday across the nation. This year it’s going to be in Vancouver - and Long & McQuade is a proud sponsor. (The planning for next year’s Showcase Concert in Winnipeg is already underway.)
On Monday, May 3rd, Vancouver’s downtown core will be alive with music when the promenade of the Vancouver Art Gallery will be filled with over 500 music students and professional musicians on two stages. This two hour concert symbolizes the events taking place simultaneously in communities from coast to coast to coast. The Coalition will introduce the songwriter who will write next year’s Music Monday song! The winning schools for the Ticketmaster Canada Grants will also be announced at the concert.
