The Toronto New Music Passport has been issued for a second year, offering its holders $5 tickets to concerts throughout the season. It\u2019s a simple and economical way to explore the city’s small but vibrant contemporary music scene.<\/p>\n

The passport is the brainchild of the Toronto New Music Alliance. It has gathered all the large and small groups who present new music in order to facilitate open exchange and collective action that promotes the appreciation of new music to a wider audience.<\/p>\n

Last year, six participating organizations \u2014 Array Music, Continuum Contemporary Music, Esprit Orchestra, New Music Concerts, Spectrum and Toy Piano Composers \u2014 participated in the program, offering a choice of six concerts in the New Music Passport’s $5 ticket options.<\/p>\n

This year, the number of participating groups has nearly doubled, and the number of concerts has nearly tripled, thanks to the addition of\u00a0 junctQ\u00edn keyboard collective, Music Gallery, New Music Concerts, Soundstreams, The Royal Conservatory new 21C Festival (in May) and Thin Edge New Music Collective.<\/p>\n

The New Music Passport now includes 17 eligible concerts, and I am hopeful that more will be added to the fall-heavy calendar.<\/p>\n

The price of the New Music Passport is $35, and the program kicks off this evening with Robert Aiken\u2019s New Music Concerts presenting “Stefan Meets Anton and Morty Meets John”<\/a> at Betty Oliphant Theatre, followed by very different musical offerings by Toy Piano Composers\u2019 celebration of their 5th season at Gallery 345, and Ensemble Supermusique presented by The Music Gallery in upcoming weekends.<\/p>\n

The Passport also comes bundled with a free issue of Musicworks<\/em> magazine<\/a>. What more reasons do you need to get your own, experience for yourself the different flavours of contemporary music, and the passionate individuals that tirelessly present them?<\/p>\n

My question is, what prize is going to be offered up for the dedicated audience members who might just try to attend every single concert on the list?<\/p>\n
