The Canadian Music Centre is excited to present the New Music in New Places festival for a fifth year. This program offers the general public an incredible opportunity to experience first-hand the creativity of our Associate Composers. This festival is designed to bring Canadian contemporary music out of the concert halls and into the lives of Canadians. From Atlantic Canada to the shores of British Columbia, Canadian composers will be bringing their music to a community venue near you.
Long a unique resource for conductors, choreographers, performers, broadcasters and students, the CMC's mission is to promote the music of its Associate Composers. But contemporary music has traditionally been the domain of a relatively select audience, and the CMC's New Music in New Places festival aims to change that. Performances highlight contemporary composers from regions across the country bringing to beaches, malls, brewpubs, wineries, museums and airports, the sounds and music that are an integral part of the Canadian character.
New Music in New Places is supported by The SOCAN Foundation and the Government of Canada through the Canada Music Fund.
