MusicOntario @ NOMFA - May 25-27, 2017
MUSICONTARIO & NOFMA PRESENT
COMMUNITIES CONNECT: SUDBURY
May 25-28, 2017, McEwen School of Architecture (85 Elm St, Sudbury, ON)
MusicOntario Communities Connect is all about bridging the gaps between Ontario’s vibrant music markets! During our Community Development Research Project (CDRP), we asked musicians, artists and industry professionals across the province what types of support and education they hoped to have access to regionally (you can read the full results at www.music-ontario.ca). With that in mind, we’ve tailored this session with NOMFA to cover topics most important to the Sudbury music community!
