B ANOTHER PRIZE FOR YOUNG CLASSICAL MUSICIANS…

The Canada Council for the Arts has announced the creation of the Canada Council Michael Measures Prize to recognize promising young performers of classical music through a partnership with the National Youth Orchestra of Canada (NYOC). The award is being established thanks to a $1 million bequest to the Canada Council from the late Michael Measures, a music enthusiast and long-time volunteer in the Ottawa arts community. Mr. Measures wanted to create an award that combined his passion for music and his desire to help "young Canadian citizens of emerging ability and of future promise." The prize will be awarded annually to a single recipient from the income generated by the endowment. The first Canada Council Michael Measures Prize will be awarded in 2011 during th e NYOC's summer touring program and will provide a young musician with $15,000 to help build his or her career.
