The CLC sends out periodic newsflashes to keep our membership informed of CLC activities and composer opportunities. We currently send out materials in the language in which it is received; our intention in the future, once we have sufficient resources, is to send out messages in both official languages.
La LCC envoie périodiquement à ses membres des flashs d'information pour les informer des activités de la Ligue et de nouvelles susceptibles d'intéresser les compositeurs. Actuellement, nous envoyons les renseignements dans la langue d'origine. Cependant, à l'avenir, nous avons l'intention d'envoyer les messages dans les deux langues officielles, lorsque nous disposerons des ressources suffisantes.

Dear CLC member,
Have you considered that there is money available to you, as a composer, which you are unaware of? Are you confident in your ability to write an effective grant or foundation application?
The Canadian League of Composers has undertaken a new initiative to bring professional development workshops to composers and you are invited! The workshops are open to both emerging and established composers who are looking to advance their skills in a variety of fields. The first workshop, Grant Writing for the Professional Composer, is to be held Saturday June 16th at 1:30 pm at the Canadian Music Centre BC Regional office in Vancouver. Michael Jones, one of the best arts administrators in the country, will lead the workshop. The CLC is offering this workshop with the assistance of the Creators' Assistance Program of Heritage Canada, as administered by the SOCAN Foundation.
This session, planned as an interactive workshop with examples and opportunities for input from workshop participants, will focus on common procedures and challenges of writing applications to both private and public sector funders. Topics covered will include locating possible sources of money, creating partnerships with organizations, preparing application materials, and avoiding common application pitfalls (or pratfalls). You are encouraged to bring in any grant, foundation or residency application that you are working on to gain valuable advice on how to improve its impact.
Michael Jones is a proven arts administrator with almost 20 years' experience in senior-level positions. He is the recently appointed Arts Program Director at the Metcalf Foundation, one of the largest private funding organizations for the performing arts in Toronto and Ontario. Prior to coming to the Metcalf Foundation, he was the General Manager of The School of Toronto Dance Theatre (2001-07) and Arraymusic (1998-2001). Also a practicing artist, Michael's current work focuses on theatre in the roles of director and/or music director; recent credits include work with Acting Up Stage, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, Drayton Entertainment, Etobicoke Musical Productions, and Scarborough Players. He has a master's degree in music from the University of Western Ontario.
This workshop is a must for anyone looking to expand his or her grant writing capacity. The cost is only $30 for CLC members and $90 for non-members, with $60 applicable to a CLC membership, upon approval. Be sure to let your colleagues know about this opportunity, but be warned: space is limited to the first 30 participants so be sure to enroll early. As a bonus for earlybird enrolment, the CLC is offering $5 off if you book before “this Friday” June 8th. Please RSVP Sean Corcoran at the CLC: sean@clc-lcc.ca or by calling (877) 964-1364.
Hope to see you in Vancouver!
