NMC's 54th Season

24/25

Announcing Our Upcoming Season

NMC is thrilled to embark on our 54th season, continuing our mission of bringing the world’s exceptional adventurous music to Toronto. This year, we invite you to explore an alternate reality of sound and storytelling, where familiar musical landscapes flow into new forms, and boundaries dissolve into uncharted realms of possibility.

Our 2024/2025 season highlights the power of transformative musical narratives. Schnee invites you to experience Hans Abrahamsen’s 21st-century masterpiece about snow, where crystalline music melts into Toronto’s winter cityscape. Dark Tales offers a haunting journey through ghost stories and folklore, brought to life alongside fluid, evocative projections.

We are especially proud to present Glimmer, a groundbreaking collaboration by Thierry Tidrow at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre during Toronto’s renowned Pride celebrations. We also honour the revival of Julius Eastman’s Gay Guerrilla, a groundbreaking late 20th-century work, whose powerful structures reclaim their place on today’s world stage. Finally, our MAKEWAY program empowers early-career creators, ensuring that the future of contemporary music remains bright and inspiring for all.

As always, our performances are designed as both encounters with exceptional music and opportunities for connection, conversation, and community. Whether you're a long-time supporter or new to the world of contemporary music, you’ll find a welcoming home at NMC. Let’s continue to push the boundaries of what music can become, together.
