Jury member Adam Serkin writes: “Throughout his thirty years as conductor and composer in this country, Bramwell Tovey has proven an unwavering leader, mentor, commissioner, and tireless public advocate for the Canadian musical community both at home and abroad. His impressive commissioning of Canadian composers, his pioneering work in the creation of the Winnipeg New Music Festival, his ongoing nurturing of young Canadian talent and his continued mandate to develop and disseminate Canadian music at a world class level all make him an ideal and most deserving candidate for the Friends of Canadian Music Award in the year 2013.”
