The British Columbia Regional Office of the Canadian Music Centre is located in downtown Vancouver in an elegant two-storey, street-level space with atrium, leased from the City of Vancouver. It is staffed by Bob Baker, Regional Director, and Marci Rabe, Coordinator, Office and Library. The BC Centre maintains a free circulating library of some 15,000 compositions, documents the lives and works of all Associate Composers, and manages a recorded music archive consisting of nearly 5,500 performances of Canadian music. Centrediscs, CBC, and other recordings of Canadian music are available for purchase, as well as books, scores, and composer's supplies, including specially-produced manuscript paper. Digital music editing facilities, digital printing (including European dimensions and oversize), and multiple binding capabilities allow our workshop to offer significant composer services to both Associate and non-Associate Composers. Centregramme, the newsletter of the BC Regional Office, is published semi-annually and features news concerning BC composers, in-depth articles, a calendar of events, and recent library acquisitions. As a branch of the Canadian Music Centre, the BC Regional Office supports and implements the CMC mandate to promote and disseminate Canadian contemporary music, particularly that of its Associate Composers.
