MIMC meaning in Community ?

The Concours musical international de Montréal (CMIM) is an elite-level competition for classical musicians who are interested in pursuing an international career as a professional concert artist. Established in 2001 by the late André Bourbeau and by the late French-Canadian bass Joseph Rouleau, the CMIM features three disciplines - voice, violin and piano - on a rotating basis over a three-year cycle.

The CMIM is composed of four rounds: the preliminary round (based on video recordings), the First round, the semi-finals and the finals. Award winners receive prizes and grants valued at over $150,000. The 2019 edition dedicated to violin will be followed in 2020 with an edition devoted to piano, and in 2021 with a voice edition.

André Bourbeau was the president of the Competition since its first edition in 2002 and was succeeded by François R. Roy in 2018.

Since May 2004, the CMIM has been a member of the World Federation of International Music Competitions. Christiane LeBlanc is the Executive & Artistic Director of the CMIM since 2012.
