Series consists of Dahlstrom's records relating to the Canada Music Week committee. Canada Music Week (CMW) is an annual nationwide festival sponsored by the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers Association (CFMTA) to introduce and stimulate a keener appreciation of Canadian music to students, teachers, and audiences; to encourage and promote Canadian music, musicians, and music teaching; and to emphasize the significance of music in society. Introduced in 1959 during the silver anniversary of CFMTA, it has become a regular event on the last week of November since 1969. The Canada Music Week Committee has nine provincial and other branch chairpersons and a national chairperson. Dahlstrom became the third national chairperson in 1969. The Canada Music Week committee publishes a newsletter (since 1959 but regularly since 1969) with suggestions for activities and promotional material and administers the national music writing competition to stimulate interest in music composing among young Canadian musicians. Dahlstrom has edited special issues of the newsletter. During Canada Music Week, special events and programs take place in each community under the responsibility of individual centers throughout Canada. In addition, the CBC broadcasts student recitals, provides capsule biographies of Canadian composers and panel discussions and features Canadian music during the week. In 1985, the CFMTA and Waterloo Music Co-published The Canada Music week Silver Anniversary Collection a piano solo book by Canadian composers. This edition was compiled and edited by Dahlstrom and resulted from a juried competition. This series includes correspondence, drafts of the newsletter, writing competition material, biographical material relating to Canadian music, curriculum vitae, speeches, Canadian music sheets, grant proposals, promotional material, news releases, radio announcements, annual reports, financial records, minutes of annual and biennial meetings of chief officers of the Canada Music Week committee, and photographs. The records are arranged according to documentary form and chronological order.
