Canada’s primary resource for scores, recordings and information about Canadian music composition, the Canadian Music Centre exists primarily to increase awareness, appreciation and performance of Canadian music by making the work of over 680 Associate Composers accessible through an array of services, programs and projects.
 
At its core, CMC houses a free-lending, 20,000+ piece music collection, which it continues to expand and digitize for preservation, dissemination and promotional purposes. In addition, CMC manages its own award-winning recording label, Centrediscs, and distributes over 1,100 CD and DVD titles featuring its Associates and other Canadian independent artists.

Other services include on-demand score sales and rentals and customized repertoire consultation. CMC also leads with several online and offline projects, including New Music in New Places and Influences of Many Musics.
