Having begun her career as a summer reporter on the Winnipeg Tribune, arts publicist Linda Litwack is a long-practised matchmaker between artists and the media. Her services include various forms of writing and editing – from media releases and bios to radio spots, online postings and CD booklets – working with designers, photographers and other professionals, and, of course, liaising with the media.

In addition to media, music and other contact lists, she maintains a list of friends, usually offering discounts for special events. Since leaving CBC Publicity (20 years in radio and 3 in TV), she has collaborated with numerous creative people on intriguing projects, mostly in classical music but also in theatre, TV documentaries, books and the visual arts. Longtime clients have included Show One Productions, pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico and soprano Denise Williams. Linda ran the Toronto Jewish Folk Choir for several years, and chaired its Program Committee. She is also a board member of the International Resource Centre for Performing Artists.

For over 35 years, the IRCPA, a unique, charitable, service organization has provided resources to emerging young professional musicians. Our goal is to enable them to achieve sustainable fulfilling careers that meet or exceed their goals in the search for excellence.

For the jazz trio or string quartet that feels stuck in its development and is keen to reach new audiences, the singer who has completed his or her training but isn’t clear on the next steps to take, the pianist looking beyond winning competitions - for all of these situations and more, the International Resource Centre for Performing Artists aims to help turn potential into accomplishment and employment.

We provide workshops and roundtable discussions for networking and information on the workings of the industry, which are not easily available. Encounters with seasoned experienced artists for savvy solutions to challenges, including financial planning are tools the new professional receives only with experience. Public performances build audiences and fan bases. Membership and most events are without charge. Please visit our website - our charitable number is: 100220417 RR0001.
