Founded in 1973, Vancouver New Music engages communities in the exploration, creation, and experience of visionary new music. VNM is dedicated to exploring and contextualizing new music and sonic art through concert presentations, festivals, workshops, and community events. VNM regularly commissions and premieres new works by Canadian composers, and presents leading and emerging artists, international composers and performers, and sound installations. VNM 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, community presentations, and other new music related community events.
