We’re the Canadian League of Composers, a charitable organization that serves the interests of Canada's contemporary composers.
In 2014, the Canadian League of Composers and the ISCM Canadian Section, working with Music on Main, won the bid to present ISCM World New Music Days 2017, the annual festival of the International Society for Contemporary Music. We chose Vancouver as the host city because we believe we can create something different – a 21st century version of this annual event that is often hosted in Europe. We’re working hard to create something compelling, forward-looking, diverse in cultural, geographic, and aesthetic viewpoints – and uniquely Canadian. A week-long music festival representing 50 countries - led by Music on Main's Artistic Director David Pay and showcasing in an international context the vibrant work of Canada’s composers and new music performers.
Support for this $1.3 million project has already come from many places – ensembles and solo performers, composers, universities and organizations, individuals, and all levels of government. Now we invite you to help us achieve our goals as we bring this event to Canada for only the second time since it began in 1923 . Between now and March, the planning team needs to launch an international Call for Works, inviting music from more than 50 countries. We need to create a visual identity that captures the energy of the festival, and we need to work with more than 20 concert partners to finalize our plans and keep the momentum going. We anticipate a cost of about $6,000 to do this, and that's where you come in. We're asking for your help in making this the largest gathering of contemporary music in Canada's history.
Please support us with a charitable donation today. You can donate here by clicking the "CONTRIBUTE" button or, if you prefer to give monthly, click through to CanadaHelps CLC and choose "World New Music Days 2017 in Vancouver" from the drop-down menu. Every dollar counts and it all shows our funders there’s grassroots support for Canada’s hosting of ISCM World New Music Days 2017. Donors of $25 or more will be acknowledged in the official 2017 Program Book.
Please note that, in order to receive a charitable receipt, you will need to provide your full name and mailing address during the Fundrazr donation process. You can still have your donation displayed as "Anonymous" if you so choose.
Thank you in advance for reading, for sharing this campaign widely to your circles, and for donating in any amount you can.

Nous sommes la Ligue canadienne des compositeurs, un organisme de bienfaisance qui défend les intérêts des compositeurs canadiens contemporains.
En 2014, la Ligue canadienne des compositeurs et la Section canadienne de la SIMC, conjointement avec Music on Main, est sortie gagnante du processus de sélection de l’hôte de l’édition 2017 du festival annuel de la Société internationale pour la musique contemporaine (SIMC) : les Journées mondiales de la musique contemporaine. Nous avons choisi Vancouver comme ville hôte parce que nous sommes convaincus que nous pouvons y créer quelque chose de nouveau – une version adaptée au XXIe siècle de ce festival annuel qui se tient souvent en Europe. Nous ne ménageons pas nos efforts pour concevoir un événement attirant, tourné vers l’avenir, caractérisé par une grande diversité – sur le plan culturel, géographique et esthétique – mais distinctement canadien. Ce festival, où seront représentés une cinquantaine de pays, s’étendra sur une semaine. Il sera piloté par David Pay, le directeur artistique de Music on Main, et mettra à l’honneur, dans un contexte international, les œuvres dynamiques des compositeurs canadiens et les talents des musiciens d’avant-garde d’ici.
Ce projet, dont le budget s’élève à 1,3 million de dollars, bénéficie déjà d’un soutien financier provenant de nombreuses sources : des musiciens et ensembles de musiciens, des compositeurs, des universités, des organismes, des particuliers, ainsi que tous les ordres du gouvernement. Maintenant, nous vous invitons à nous aider à atteindre nos objectifs pour ce festival, que nous accueillons au Canada pour la deuxième fois seulement depuis ses débuts en 1923. D’ici mars, l’équipe chargée de la planification doit lancer une demande de soumission d’œuvres à l’échelle internationale, sollicitant l’envoi de compositions de plus de 50 pays. Nous devons créer une identité visuelle qui rendra bien l’énergie du festival. Nous devons aussi travailler de concert avec plus de 20 partenaires participant aux concerts pour finaliser nos plans et continuer dans notre lancée. Nous prévoyons que le coût associé à ces activités sera d’environ 6 000 dollars, et c’est en vue de recueillir cette somme que nous avons besoin de vous. Aidez-nous à faire de ce festival le plus grand rassemblement axé sur la musique contemporaine de l’histoire du Canada.
