Music Makers examines and celebrates the extraordinary lives of composer Harry Freedman and his partner, soloist Mary Morrison.

Harry, with roots in jazz and popular music, was a member of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra for 25 years. Canada's Composer of the Year in 1979, he has written an enormous repertoire that celebrates Canada and is sung and played around the world.

After a stellar career in Canada as a popular singer and opera diva, Mary became an esteemed exponent of Canadian vocal works. She was a prestigious mentor and teacher of young Canadians now appearing on famous opera stages worldwide. She received the League of Composers' Music Citation in 1968 and won Canada's major award as Opera Educator in 2002.
