Music Nova Scotia executive director Scott Long sees the upcoming edition of Nova Scotia Music Week as an important milestone for the organization. According to Long, “Cape Breton Island is one of the most important music destinations in the world. Nova Scotia Music Week is about celebrating the music of our province and to say we are excited about hosting the event in Sydney would be an understatement. All are welcome and we look forward to our inaugural Cape Breton edition of Nova Scotia Music Week.”
