Write On! was born out of a desire to help emerging artists find their voice through songwriting and performing. Over the seasons, our music community has rallied around this vision—proving time and again that we’re all working toward the same goal.

​

In the 2025-2026 season our 14 artists were fortunate to receive The Anne O’Hara Gift of Music scholarship.

Get to know the participants included on the showcase page.

 

Music goes far beyond entertainment—it instills lifelong skills like self-discipline, time management, teamwork, and confidence.

 

Honoring their mother Anne, who learned the true wealth of music growing up as one of 15 children in New Brunswick, Julie, Lorraine, and Jocelyn established this legacy gift to provide our songwriters with vital mentorship, resources, and community.

​

"Anne would be thrilled to know she is enabling and supporting emerging artists, and my sisters and I are thrilled to see and hear her legacy gift having a lasting, positive impact – a fitting tribute to a wonderful woman!"

 

Sending buckets of gratitude to the O’Hara family for their generous support and for being such passionate champions of local music! ​​​​
