The CMIM is introducing three special prizes during the 2016 Violin edition, which brings the total prize money to $83,000!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><strong>A TRIBUTE TO ANDR\u00c9 BACHAND<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">To pay tribute to their late father, Raymond and Jean-Claude Bachand will offer an award for the best performance of a compulsory Canadian work. Andr\u00e9 Bachand, after whom the prize is named, played an active role in the cultural milieu; his commitment and his talent for bringing people together allowed many cultural organisations to develop and survive financially.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Worth $4,000, the Andr\u00e9-Bachand award will be introduced for the first time at the 2016 Violin edition and will be tied to an existing work from a Canadian composer that candidates will have to perform if they reach the Semi-Final Round. The chosen work will be announced on April15, 2016.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #329997;\"><strong>TOURISME MONTR\u00c9AL RENEWS ITS SUPPORT<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Tourisme Montr\u00e9al renews its contribution to the CMIM by offering a $2,000 Award for the Best Performance of a Sonata in the Semi-Final Round of the Violin Competition.
