Intersection is an annual multi-day festival that celebrates musical experimentation, and confronts people in their own environment, on common ground. The festival unites the creative energy of Toronto-based musical artists and collectives from numerous disparate experimental music communities along with visiting special guest artists. Through installations, improvisations, compositions, and performance pieces, as well as our flagship all-day music marathon at Yonge-Dundas Square, Intersection connects both active and passive audiences with contemporary music-making. We are passionate about our accessible, barrier-free philosophy that engages folks who may otherwise never experience contemporary music and aim to bring these artists and their audiences together to spark a dialogue and build a stronger community.

We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
