  • Haviah Mighty Has Won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the Album 13Th Floor
    HAVIAH MIGHTY HAS WON THE 2019 POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE FOR THE ALBUM 13TH FLOOR TORONTO, ON – Monday, September 16, 2019 Haviah Mighty has won the 2019 Polaris Music Prize for the album 13th Floor. “For me, the 13th floor is something that we remove from our reality because it is something that we don’t understand and therefore we dismiss it,” said Haviah Mighty. “This is very parallel to so many of the experiences that I speak on, on this album. I’m in a room with so many different people from so many different walks of life who have acknowledged that this is something they feel is important. These people don’t necessarily share the narratives that I ,do or the walks of life that I have, and yet, here we are, finally on what I believe is the 13th floor. This is the moment of resurgence where the dismissal that has existed is now being removed, and the discussion is being had. I’m so grateful that the people around me push me to be brave enough to speak my truth and to have it be acknowledged in this way.” The Prize, which was presented by CBC Music, goes to the best Canadian album of the year based on artistic merit without regard to genre, sales history or label affiliation. It was determined by a Grand Jury of 11 music media professionals drawn from the greater Polaris jury pool of 199 writers, editors, broadcasters, DJs and personalities from across the country. Haviah Mighty’s victory came with a $50,000 monetary reward.

  • Fw POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS TITLE to the LONG LIST
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE POLARIS MUSIC PRIZE ADDS ONE MORE TITLE TO THE 2014 LONG LIST TORONTO, ON – Tuesday, June 24, 2014. Steve Jordan, Director and Founder of the Polaris Music Prize, announced the addition of Greg MacPherson’s album Fireball to the 2014 Long List. Due to an incorrect reference in the prize’s new web-based voting system, there was a miscalculation of votes. The error was discovered and corrected, resulting in the addition of MacPherson’s album to the list. One title that would have been pushed out with MacPherson’s inclusion will also re- main on the Long List. “We pride ourselves in triple checking to ensure every ballot is counted correctly so obviously this is quite an embarrassment for us. The developers have assured us all is working properly mov- ing into our Short List vote. The bonus for music lovers is that yet another deserving album gets Polaris recognition,” said Steve Jordan on the error. 2014 Polaris Music Prize Long List: Arcade Fire – Reflektor AroarA – In The Pines Austra – Olympia Philippe B – Ornithologie, la nuit BADBADNOTGOOD – III Basia Bulat – Tall Tall Shadow Chromeo – White Women Cousins – The Halls Of Wickwire Cowboy Junkies / Various Artists – The Kennedy Suite The Darcys – Warring Dead Obies – Montréal $ud Mac DeMarco – Salad Days DIANA – Perpetual Surrender Drake – Nothing Was The Same Freedom Writers – NOW Fresh Snow – I Frog Eyes – Carey’s Cold Spring Gorguts – Colored Sands Tim Hecker – Virgins Jimmy Hunt – Maladie d’amour Jessy Lanza – Pull My Hair Back Greg MacPherson - Fireball Kalle

In 1981 when Carolyn Lomax met with Ann Southam, Mary Gardiner, and others to form what was to become ACWC, little did she and the other Toronto-based composers know that their work would expand to become an association of over 100 members spread across Canada from Vancouver Island to Newfoundland, and from the Northwest Territories to the US and Europe, incorporating musical forms from soundscape to jazz improvisation, song to symphony, largely centred on innovative Western classical styles – music necessary to compose. In the early 80’s when ACWC1 boasted a membership of some 15 – 35 members, few questioned its predominantly European-rooted membership.
