CLC Newsflash! LCC les Dépêches!

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.

CLC Professional Development Workshops - March 2009
