The Annex-based Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) is respected nation-wide and even world-wide for their lessons and examinations, but if they keep up their current pace, they might become equally associated with the Grammy Awards.
For the second year in a row, the venerable Annex-based institution at 273 Bloor Street West is celebrating a Grammy nomination.
A group of musicians based out of the RCM, called Artists of the Royal Conservatory of Music (ARC), nabbed a Grammy nomination in the category of Best Chamber Music Performance for their recording called Right Through the Bone.
In addition, the producer of that recording, David Frost, a well known American classical music producer, is nominated in the category of classical producer of the year.
It’s becoming old hat for ARC who last year were also nominated in the same category (of Best Chamber Music Performance) for their recording titled On the Threshold of Hope: Chamber Music of Mieczyslaw Weinberg. Subsequently it was also nominated for a Juno Award.
Right Through the Bone will also no doubt be in consideration when this year’s Juno Award nominations are released Feb. 3.
