As founding president and CEO of Canada’s National Music Centre (NMC), Andrew Mosker has been at the organization since the start, and he’s helped it evolve from a grassroots initiative into a nationally recognized cultural institution. Headquartered at Calgary’s Studio Bell, NMC houses four Canadian Music Halls of Fame and an impressive collection of musical instruments and artifacts. NMC has also launched a satellite hub in Montreal’s Quartier des Spectacles neighbourhood, expanding its presence across Canada last November. This year marks the NMC’s 10th anniversary, which is set to be filled with unique exhibits, programs and performances, starting on July 1. Mosker confirmed to Billboard Canada that an exhibition for Canadian icon Joni Mitchell is in the works and will open next spring. It’s important for Canada to celebrate its musical legacy, and the NMC takes that one step further — elevating new and established artists while building on the interconnectedness of music heritage, education and cultural tourism.
