The Ontario Classical Music Network (OCMN) originated in 2007, formally establishing itself in 2015 with funding from the Department of Canadian Heritage. The network facilitates information sharing and mutual support among volunteer presenters committed to bringing high-quality classical music to their communities.
As their mission states, "The Ontario Classical Music Network exists to help each other survive and thrive in a respectful, caring, and sharing environment."
The OCMN maintains regular contact via email and conference calls, providing opportunities for members to share information, ask questions, and address concerns. All members are volunteer-run and deeply committed to supporting the presentation of classical music in Ontario.
Since 2015, with support from the Department of Canadian Heritage, Ontario Presents has provided digital marketing support (social media, email marketing, web-based ticketing) to five OCMN members, enhancing ticket sales.
