Land Acknowledgement

With Respect

New Music Concerts acknowledges that we are on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabe, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Today, Toronto is now home to many First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples from across Turtle Island and around the world. We also acknowledge that Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaties signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We are grateful to have the opportunity to meet, work, and live on this island. As an organization dedicated to commissioning and performing works to inspire listeners, we are grateful to all Indigenous peoples for their valuable, past and present, contributions to the arts and music. At New Music Concerts, we acknowledge and respect the importance of Indigenous musical traditions in advancing reconciliation and trusting relationships with Indigenous communities, and are grateful for the Indigenous artists whose sharing and knowledge continues to expand our understanding of Indigenous peoples, cultures, and arts.
