VANCOUVER NEW MUSIC SOCIETY

Vancouver, British Columbia, V6Z1B7 Canada

Mission Statement

Vancouver New Music engages diverse communities in the exploration, creation, and experience of progressive and outstanding new music. Supporting creativity, innovation, curiosity and a multiplicity of voices and ideas, Vancouver New Music is committed to curating practices, not only works, and embracing the rhizomatic expansion of current modes of sound and music creation.

About This Cause

Founded in 1973, Vancouver New Music regularly commissions and premieres new works by Canadian and international composers, presents an annual festival that focuses each year on a theme within the new music landscape and explores the interaction of contemporary music with other disciplines such as theatre, installation, and media arts. Other activities include lectures and workshops with visiting artists, ensemble workshops and presentations open to the community, and other sound-, art-, and new-music related community events, such as Soundwalks. An annual/biannual series, Parallels, brings internationally renowned artists together with local musicians to create new works that are specific to the time, places, and people involved in their creation.
