About

Professional, live, local, & friendly!

Everyone is capable of beauty.

Classical music is a cultural heritage that belongs to us all.

Classical music is everywhere. Ask any movie director: when they want to create a big moment it’s classical music they plug in to. Special events like weddings, anniversaries and memorials: all draw on classical music to make the moment memorable. But classical music is much more than background support for big moments. QSCM is here to give everyone the chance to discover the fun, the excitement and the profound experience that is classical music at its best: live, professionally performed, and right here in your back yard.

How we bring music to rural Ontario

About QSCM

As a registered charity and Ontario not-for-profit, QSCM offers live concerts and outreach events featuring professional musicians highly regarded in the field.


Free admission ensures that all can attend. This is made possible by the generosity of local donors, business and private, and project grants from municipal governments and the Ontario Arts Council, a provincial government agency.


The work of QSCM is done entirely by volunteers.


The goal is to ensure that everyone, regardless of means, is able to experience classical music at its best. The impact is felt locally and beyond as QSCM fosters Canadian musical culture in our rural communities at the grassroots level.
