NATS Manitoba Contemporary Music Scholarship Competition
and Musical Theatre Competition
The NATS Manitoba Contemporary Music Scholarship Competition was established in 2009. The goal was to provide students with an opportunity to learn and perform contemporary classical music. Also, to aid these students on their musical journey with feedback from adjudicators and a scholarship prize. This has now become a much anticipated annual event with internationally renowned singers, such as Tracy Dahl and Monica Huisman, providing adjudication, more performance opportunities for winners, including a collaborative effort with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra's New Music Festival, and further competition opportunities with NATS National Competitions.
