A Podcast Conversation With ...Victor Micallef of The Tenors

By Bill King

I caught up with Tenor Victor Micallef about the upcoming return to live in performance and the first date at Massey Hall. Two years away has taken a toll on the many touring performers who rely on the proceeds and up-close connection with fans to keep careers in motion. There is a genuine feeling we are about to experience a return to normal yet with a virus still in flux, an improved understanding of how we adjust and live with the unknown. May is a month of hope. This is where the conversation begins.

Executive of the Week: FACTOR's Meg Symsyk on Why Supporting Canadian Music Means Supporting Cultural Sovereignty

The president and CEO of FACTOR, one of Canada's most crucial music funders, explains why it's more important than ever to support homegrown culture and give it the opportunity to compete on the global stage.

When it comes to supporting Canadian music, FACTOR's influence is immeasurable. One of the most crucial funders of art in the country, the non-profit's impact is seen with its logo across countless acclaimed records and its name shouted out at concerts and award shows. But for president & CEO Meg Symsyk, it's not just about supporting Canadian music or even Canadian artists: it's about the sovereignty and identity of the country itself.

“Buying locally is more important than ever because of that consumer awareness and structural support. Canadians need to be encouraged to be more intentional. This last year and a half with the tariffs and the trade wars has put that on everyone's front burner,” she explains.
