We are thrilled to announce that Alexander Straus-Fausto has been selected as the winner of the 2025 Sir Ernest MacMillan Memorial Foundation Prize.

Straus-Fausto was selected from a strong contingent of five applicants from across Canada in a unanimous decision by jury members Neil Cockburn, Isabelle Demers, John Paul Farahat, and Jonathan Oldengarm, who noted the high standard of all the applicants. Read about Straus-Fausto here.

Foundation member, Dr. Robin Elliott, will present the award on Thursday, July 10 at the Isabelle Demers concert during Organ Festival Canada.

Congratulations Alexander!
