London Music Week shines the spotlight on the rich musical life of the community. It recognizes outstanding contributions, superb performance, writing and producing, and it nurtures up-and-coming talent.

London Music Week kicks off with the FCLMA Classical, Jazz, World Music Awards Gala on April 28. Doors open at 6 p.m. while the show starts at 7 p.m. at Aeolian Hall.

Throughout the week, live music is showcased at downtown venues. A professional development program is offered through SoundCheck for Success. The day includes panels, discussions, mentorship opportunities, exhibits and performances presented by FCLMA. The Battle of the High School Bands provides an opportunity for young musicians to strut their stuff and compete for a prize package that includes a professionally produced digital release.

“The FCLMA is proud to highlight musicians from our city and surrounding area,” said Mario Circelli, chair. “We believe in the strength of our music community and supporting emerging and established musicians is the right thing to do.”
