L’Association des professionnels de la chanson et de la musique (APCM) has announced the nominees for the 9th edition of the Trille Or Awards Gala, with Saskatchewan artists honoured with numerous recommendations. This biennial gala is an opportunity to celebrate musical excellence and to celebrate French-Canadian music. A total of forty-four artists and industry professionals from across the country are nominated in twenty-two categories for this edition of the Trille Or Awards Gala.
The Trille Or awards have undergone significant changes over the past year with the opening of classes to Western Canadian artists, and new categories for artists Acadians and Quebec artists. Thus, the first time, the Gala will emphasize the musical excellence of the artists coming from the four corners of the country. Over Trille week (May 1-6, 2017), a program will be held including lectures, keynotes, networking events, showcases, and more.
The Gala, jointly produced by the APCM with Radio-Canada, will take place May 5 at the Shenkman Arts Center, Ottawa ON, and be broadcast live on Radio-Canada television and radio in Ontario and Western Canada.
