A word from the president
A genuine tradition in Canadian culture, the OSM Standard Life Competition can take pride in being a springboard for young Canadian musicians who strive for a professional career. Deeply rooted in the educational mission of the OSM, the Orchestra readily deploys all its expertise to allow the contestants to live up to the most exacting standards in front of world renowned judges. Performances, master classes, encounters and coaching from OSM musicians: no effort is spared to provide the contestants with a worthy and unforgettable experience.
I wish to thank all our dependable partners, our dedicated volunteers and our precious sponsors, such as Standard Life, whose commitment has allowed the competition to become what it is today. And thanks to you, dear audience, who encourage with fervor the talent of our young musicians.
Jean Élie
President, OSM Standard Life Competition
