The Scenes were a series of major multi-disciplinary arts festivals that celebrated artists from different regions of the country. I began with BC Scene in 2009, followed by Prairie Scene (2011), Northern Scene (2013) and Ontario Scene (2015). The festivals culminated in 2017 with Canada Scene, a 39-day festival that was the largest gathering of Canadian artists held as part of the Canada 150 celebrations. As General Manager, I was responsible for the overall administration of the festival, including planning, budgeting, staffing, and partnerships. I also worked with the Producer on artistic programming, with a primary focus on the festival's classical and non-classical music programming.
