No artistic event with the scope of the Montreal International Musical
Competition can be established, or hope to survive, without the support of major partners
in the artistic, political, media and financial communities. The MIMC has been able to rally
the support of some exceptional partners: Hydro Québec, the Government of
Québec, Radio-Canada and Espace musique (Radio-Canada's french music radio
network) and the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal. Thanks in large part to their contributions, the Competition will be able to offer young artists
from around the world a new stage on which to display and gain recognition for their talent.
Presenting sponsor
Hydro-Québec plays an important role in Québec society. In addition to providing an important economic

Since its founding in 1934, the
Orchestre symphonique de Montréal has distinguished
itself as a leader in the orchestral life of Québec and
Canada and as a cultural ambassador of the highest order.
Under Maestro Kent Nagano, music director since 2006,
the Orchestra has distinguished itself with the
presentation of programming that is both innovative and
a source of common bond. The excellence of the OSM has
been demonstrated in the course of over 40 national and
international tours and in the realization of more than
100 recordings which have earned it a total of 49 awards.
On September 7, 2011, the OSM inaugurated its new home,
the Maison symphonique de Montréal. The realization of
this concert hall was made possible thanks to the
Government of Quebec.
For nearly 30 years now, the
Jeunesses Musicales of Canada Foundation (JMCF) has been
dedicated to supporting classical music and new talent.
The Foundation’s members and team are also joining their
efforts to support Jeunesses Musicales of Canada (JMC),
a non-profit organization dedicated to the presentation
of classical music—especially to youth—and to the career
development of young artists both nationally and
internationally. The MIMC was founded at the initiative
of the JMC in 2002.
