MUSIC MOVES US
Music Moves Us is a community fundraising campaign supporting Debut Atlantic’s Debut Goes to School Program.
In March 2026, the Nova Scotia Provincial Government cut over 130 million dollars in Arts and Culture funding. While we’re resilient and have been able to pivot, it has undeniably impacted our programming. The $35,000 grant, that funded our Debut Goes To School program in Nova Scotia, was fully eliminated. While the grant no longer exists, the need for bringing music into schools across Nova Scotia is still ever present. In fact, demand for this program continues to grow each year.
Join us this October at the Valley Harvest Marathon – every kilometre logged and every dollar donated helps keep live music accessible, equitable, and inspiring for the next generation.

TOONIES FOR TUNES
Despite the elimination of the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development’s Artists in Schools program, Debut Atlantic remains committed to making Debut Goes to School! sustainable and accessible for students across the region. Students and families can help support this important initiative by participating in our Toonies for Tunes campaign.
