It all began with a Prelude, that ignited her passion for exploring the rich, yet often overlooked, musical landscape of Canada.
Notes of the North is a podcast and website dedicated to uncovering and sharing the stories and music of lesser-known Canadian composers.
With the support of a $5,000 microgrant from the Canada Service Corps, the project's innovative and user-friendly website serves as a bridge between ignorance and knowledge, encouraging Canadians to engage with the music of their local communities. Through podcast episodes, written articles, and multimedia content, Notes of the North provides a platform for local composers to share their work and reach a wider audience, celebrating Canada's unique multicultural diversity.
