So. I have done the math for the music festival I've been adjudicating these past couple of weeks:
70 composers in all.
9 female (25 pieces). 61 male (153 pieces).
Guess what I'll be talking about during the final masterclasses.

With domestic violence and demand for safe shelter space on the rise, the need for safe connectivity has never been greater.
We're providing phones and plans to 100 Ontario women’s shelters and transition houses through our expanded Women's Shelters Canada partnership.

Will you?
