TORONTO, Feb. 14, 2013 /CNW/ - TD Bank Group today celebrated 10years of support for Canadian music with an in-branch concert at its flagship King and Bay branch. A longtime supporter of community initiatives that create access to music for young people, TD has proudly been bringing music to Canadian communities since 2003. Every year, TD has shared its love of music with communities and customers by sponsoring 60 major music festivals from coast to coast.

"As the Bank of Music, we are thrilled to celebrate our 10-year milestone of support for Canadian music with a special concert featuring some of the country's brightest talents," said Chris Stamper, SVP of Corporate Marketing, TD Bank Group. "This year, we look forward to bringing special music experiences to fans across the country; and to helping young people discover a love of music."

To celebrate this special anniversary, the TD Music programme staged the "For the Love of Music" event. Artists from a range of musical genres performed love songs at an acoustic concert hosted by and starring Jully Black, and featuring Eva Avila, KAI, Devin Cuddy and Karl Wolf. Each artist serenaded the audience with two of their favourite love songs.

Artists spoke about the importance of corporate support in contributing to the development of Canadian musical talent and engaging the next generation in music. Allan Reid, Director of MusiCounts, echoed this sentiment, "With TD's support, we are moving closer to our goal of ensuring that all children in Canada, regardless of socio-economic circumstances and cultural background, have access to music education programs."

TD's decade-long involvement with music began with its sponsorship of world-class music festivals in cities across the country. TD has also, for many years, supported outreach programs for youth via music workshops, educational initiatives, awards and scholarships.

TD supports MusiCounts, Canada's music education charity associated with the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS).
