Emerging Artists Tours

Emerging Artists Concerts Jeunesses Musicales Canada | 2026-2027 Season

CALL FOR AUDITION (ongoing)

For the auditions of our 2026–2027 Emerging Artists Tours, we are looking for classical, jazz or world music artists and ensembles who have developed an idea for a concert aimed at the general audiences.

Emerging artists and professional musicians (between the ages of 18 and 32) are encouraged to submit a concert project through video recordings, which they can communicate their passion of music and stimulate audiences.

The choice of repertoire (approximately 80 minutes of music) should reflect the musicians’ musical qualities and have a specific thematic idea of particular interest to them. A Canadian work is required in the concert repertoire. JMC is looking for interesting, innovative and inclusive programs. We encourage thoughtful proposals that reach out to diverse Canadian audiences. The inclusion of underrepresented and/or marginalized composers is recommended.

The tour will take place in Quebec, in Ontario and the Maritime provinces and requires that you be available for a period of 4–6 consecutive weeks. This will give you the opportunity to experience different venues while discovering the country. All the logistics of the tour are taken care of by Jeunesses Musicales Canada.

We are looking for 3 concert projects for the 2026–2027 season, which the tours are distributed as follows:

mid-November 2026 to end of December 2026
mid-January to early March 2027
beginning of March to end of April 2027
