The Eckhardt-Gramatté National Music Competition for the performance of Canadian and contemporary music is a memorial to composer, pianist, and violinist S.C. (Sonia) Eckhardt-Gramatté, who spent the last twenty-one years of her life in Manitoba. It fulfills her lifelong dream of creating a means by which the music of contemporary composers could make its presence felt by young musicians on the threshold of their careers. The E-Gré National Music Competition has been held annually since 1976 at Brandon University.

The Eckhardt-Gramatté Competition acknowledges the support of the Canada Council for the Arts to present this national tour featuring music by Canadian composers. This concert at York University is generously sponsored by the York Centre for Asian Research.
