La Pocatière, September 8th, 2025 – La Boîte interculturelle is proud to announce that it is among the nominees for the 2025 Music Rights Awards presented by the International Music Council. It is the only Canadian organization represented this year, a recognition that highlights its ongoing commitment to music rights and cultural diversity.
The Music Rights Awards highlight outstanding initiatives that defend, promote, and bring to life the five music rights established by the International Music Council, including the right to access music, to express oneself through music, and to benefit from an environment conducive to creativity.
The winner will be announced on October 1, 2025, on International Music Day.
“Being recognized on the international stage is already a victory in itself. This nomination confirms the relevance of our mission and the strength of the projects we carry out with our partners and communities,” said Nathalie Lévesque, Executive Director of La Boîte interculturelle.
La Boîte warmly thanks the International Music Council (IMC) for this recognition and for its essential role in defending music rights around the world. We wish all the nominees the best of luck and look forward to celebrating music and its unique ability to bring people together.
