Rachel Mercer is a winner of the 2009 Canada Council Bank of Instruments Competition.

Every 3 years, talented Canadian classical musicians compete for the chance to borrow fine stringed instruments from the Canada Council’s Musical Instrument Bank (MIB).

The MIB includes close to 22 magnificent instruments worth a total of over $41 million. These historically-significant violins, cellos and bows, ranging in age from the late 1600s to the early 1900s, were crafted by the world’s finest luthiers such as Stradivari, Gagliano and Pressenda.

The Canada Council started the MIB in 1985 through the generous legacy of $100,000 from the Barwick family of Ottawa.
