After over a year of development and gaining approval from council in December of 2023, the Kingston Music Strategy is now being implemented with the help of a new Music Officer position.
The City has partnered with Tourism Kingston to expand the existing Music Commissioner Music position, held by Moira Demorest, to take the lead on implementing the strategy. Demorest is a pillar in the Kingston music scene, with over 20 years of experience in the industry.
“It’s an honour and a pleasure to take on the expanded role of Music Officer, and to have been a part of the creation of the Kingston Music Strategy,” says Demorest. “Kingston is poised for immense growth in all facets of the music community, from live performances to recording and production, and I’m excited to continue to promote that development.”
To oversee this process, Tourism Kingston and the City are asking community members to join the Kingston Music Advisory Committee. Community members can learn more about the Kingston Music Advisory Committee on the Tourism Kingston website.
