About

Behind the scenes of successful touring and showcasing
Whether you are an up-and-coming event coordinator interested in concert organization, or a musician organizing your own shows and self-producing your own tours, this workshop is for you!

Focusing on the music industry, this workshop will aim to cover all aspects of successful showcasing and tour production.

Mariam Assaf who has been working in the field for the past 10 years, will share tips and tools to properly coordinate, negotiate, schedule, budget, market, and wrap up music events.

Workshop Leader

Mariam Assaf has been working in the arts, mostly in music, since 2008. She has worked for festivals, associations promoting local talent, managed bands, organized countless concerts and events, and coordinated tours for both local and international artists.

Mariam is currently managing the music segment of ELAN’s Performing Arts Market Access project for Quebec’s OLMC artists.

We acknowledge the support of the Canada Council for the Arts.

Land Acknowledgement

ELAN is an official minority language organization within a country that recognizes two languages as official. ELAN is located in Tiohtià:ke, the original name for Montreal in Kanien’kéha, the language of the Mohawk—also known as Mooniyang, which is the Anishinaabeg name given to the city by the Algonquin. While we are based in this city, our projects have also taken place in many regions across Quebec.

We acknowledge the colonial origin of English and French in Canada, and recognize that both languages benefit from official status throughout the land. The province that we know as Quebec is an amalgamation of the traditional territories of the Innu and Inuit nations, Algonquian nations, as well as the Mohawk nations of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy. Kanien’kéha and Anishinaabemowin are but two of the original languages of this province; Atikamekw, Cree, Inuktitut, and Innu-aimun are also among the many Indigenous languages spoken across Quebec as majority languages, all well before French and English.

ELAN acknowledges the important work being done by First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to revive the traditional languages of these territories, and their advocacy for the official status of Indigenous languages.
