Imagine having the chance to play a Stradivari violin worth $5 million or a Gagliano cello worth $750,000. Young Canadian musicians just starting international careers as solo artists or as part of a chamber group have the opportunity to do this through the Musical Instrument Bank (MIB), a program run by the Canada Council for the Arts.

The Canada Council for the Arts has acquired five exceptional instruments to add to the Canada Council’s Musical Instrument Bank (MIB).
