music 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES CONTACT contemporary music is one of Toronto’s most innovative new contemporary music organizations and is set to embark upon its fifth concert season. Our 2007/2008concert season is our most ambitious season to date as we present the world premiere production of the multi-media music/video concert by New York composer David Lang entitled Elevated, featuring films by William Wegman, Matt Mullican, Bill Morrison and Doug Aitken. The production will tour to Queen’s University in Kingston and the National Archive in Ottawa. We continue our season as a presenter in the second edition of soundaXis, and end the season with our annual Official Pride Event concert, Girl On Girl, featuring virtuoso performer Lori Freedman. In addition to our concert activity, we are establishing innovative community outreach and audience development programs that further our ties to the community. In addition to the first ever Toronto (new music) Marathon on September 8, we will continue our successful workshop for youth called Music From Scratch, engaging youth with professional composers and musicians to explore their creativity in July, ’08.
