Montreal, April 22, 2022 – The Montreal International Music Competition (CMIM) is pleased to unveil its competitors’ programmes for Voice 2022. Discover these programmes today via the website.
STRATEGY FOR A WINNING PROGRAMME
From Handel to Bernstein, including works from Schubert and Brahms, our 32 Voice 2022 artists are undeniably strategic in the development of their competition programmes. Learn more about these programmes today. A good competition programme accurately calibrates the emotional dynamics of each piece, the level of difficulty and the showcasing of the competitors’ vocal qualities.
See how these programmes, without many imposed constraints, demonstrate the artistic personality of each of our participants.
ART SONG DIVISION – ANDRÉ-BANCHAND AWARD
Nine of our Art Song participants chose to include a work by a Canadian composer in their semi final programme. Visit our website to discover them!
The André-Bachand Award, worth $2,000, will be awarded to the competitor in the Art Song division who offers the best interpretation of a Canadian work.
The CMIM would like to thank Mrs. Claudette Hould for her generosity in allowing us to award this prize to one of our singers.

The first round of the competition will feature 32 vocal recitals with piano accompaniment, all held at Bourgie Hall in Montreal’s Museum of Fine Arts. The CMIM’s international jury will audition all competitors from the Aria and Art Song divisions.
