New Music Concerts 2022New Music Concerts furthers the appreciation, creation and performance of exceptional adventurous music for everyone.

New Music Concerts (NMC) is a leader in curating, performing, and promoting innovative and cutting-edge music by Canadian and international composers.

Founded in 1971, NMC is an internationally renowned leader and unique in Toronto as the foremost champion of contemporary works for large chamber ensemble, often performing alongside cutting edge technology.

For NMC, adventurous music is any music that, when heard at any stage of your listening journey, teaches you something new, ignites a spark, and inspires you. We believe that the ability to appreciate adventurous music is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and acquired. Achieving this expands listeners’ horizons, unveiling a new world of composers, ensembles, and fresh concepts.

It is NMC’s mandate to nurture a dialogue between the voices of multiple musical traditions, including those that have been historically underrepresented.

No matter where you come from, if you love adventurous music, you will always have a home at NMC.

20th ANNUAL DIRECTORY OF MUSIC MAKERS

We are pleased to present our 20th annual Blue Pages, a directory of music presenters and arts services published every year in our October magazine, and maintained year-round online, under the “Who’s Who” tab at thewholenote.com. This year’s 152-profile portrait of musical life in the Greater Toronto area and Southern Ontario has two segments: section 1 reflects the wealth and diversity of music presenters and performers in our region – orchestras, choirs, opera companies, chamber ensembles, etcetera; section 2 is for individuals and organisations providing services to artists in the communities we cover, predominantly artist managers and publicists.

We’d like to thank all who have chosen to participate in this year’s Blue Pages; individuals and organisations whose support and dedication helps sustain not only The WholeNote but the music community in general. If your organisation missed being part of the October Blue Pages, we’ll be publishing a “latecomers” supplement in the November issue. And the online directory accepts new members year round.

For information on the benefits of a WholeNote membership (of which this Blue Pages profile is a feature), please contact Karen Ages at karen@thewholenote.com or 416-323-2232 x26.
