Dear CNMN Members,

Four months have gone by since I took this posi­tion and I feel I am just start­ing to ori­ent myself in what the net­work has been, what it has achieved, what the mem­bers might need from our com­mu­ni­ty and what I can do to help facil­i­tate that.

I have met with a few of you at the Annu­al Gen­er­al Meet­ing in Mon­tre­al, and then more in Hal­i­fax, Edmon­ton, Toron­to and Van­cou­ver. I am lis­ten­ing to every­one’s ideas and con­cerns as well as ask­ing advice about the var­i­ous CNMN resources, projects and man­date. I encour­age you all to send me your feed­back.

I have start­ed work­ing close­ly with our new book­keep­er, Math­ieu Leclair, to make the best use of the increase in funds from the Cana­da Coun­cil for the Arts. This increase has, among oth­er things, made the cre­ation of my posi­tion pos­si­ble, and is the result of won­der­ful efforts by the Board, Emi­ly Hall and Cléo Pala­cio-Quintin and so many others.

For the moment, my every­day con­cerns have cen­tered around FORUM 2018 plan­ning. I am so excit­ed about the line-up of guests, cho­sen by our steer­ing com­mit­tee and the jury of the Open Call. They all rep­re­sent such excit­ing work being done in Cana­da (with a few voic­es from abroad), while the pan­els ask broad ques­tions for a wide coun­try and practice.

My hope going for­ward is that I can help CNMN in its man­date to improve our knowl­edge of and access to oth­ers, and that our com­mu­ni­ty can tune the def­i­n­i­tion of new music into an expan­sive and wel­com­ing practice.

Please do not hes­i­tate to be in touch.

All best,

Ter­ri
