Overview

New Music Concerts (NMC), is a leader in curating, performing, and promoting innovative and uncompromisingly cutting-edge music by Canadian and international composers. NMC is internationally renowned and unique in Toronto as the foremost champion of contemporary works for large chamber ensemble. NMC commits to continuing the artistic rigor and excellence in the programming and performance of the best contemporary chamber music from Canada and around the globe. NMC's aim is to increasingly reflect in its programming Canada's ever-growing diversity of musicians, listeners, composers, and guest artists. NMC’s mandate is to create a dialogue between the voices of multiple musical traditions, both Amero-Euro-centric traditions and others less well represented, thus honing our audience’s listening skills and evolving our musical vocabulary through the careful juxtaposition of varying modes of composition. We want to celebrate the work of the most creative artists across all gender identities working in new music and related art forms today. And we plan to experiment with new modes of presentation, a creative selection of venues, and, whenever possible, to collaborate with exciting partner communities who have not yet had a chance to be actively drawn into this conversation.
