Connecting communities through music
For 25 years, Prairie Debut has linked Canadian classical musicians and world music artists to over 90 mostly rural communities in Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon.
Prairie Debut is the only organization of its kind in Canada, with a purpose of linking Canadian music artists to primarily rural communities and those outside of the larger centres. In 2020, we introduced the Close to Home concept to facilitate concert performances involving local artists.
