  • Projects that enhance the range of live and virtual music activity available to the public.
  • Original work by Ontario-based composers and songwriters used in rehearsal and repertoire development, and second-stage opera workshops.
  • Activities that, in addition to the above, may contribute to arts education, public participation, and community involvement in the arts in Ontario.

The program has six categories:

  • Rehearsal and repertoire development (including first-stage opera workshops)
