Ensuring that these events are as accessible as possible is one of our chief priorities. New Music Edmonton’s mandate is to professionally support this creative work through commissioning, professional presentations, and outreach initiatives. In the nearly four decades since, New Music Edmonton (its name since 2012) has evolved into a multi-faceted presenter and regional hub for diverse, sound-oriented artistic practices. The group began a new concert series in 1985 under the name The Edmonton Composers’ Concert Society. New Music Edmonton (NME) was founded in 1985 by local composers at the suggestion of their teacher, composer Violet Archer.

New Music Edmonton’s mission is to contribute to an accessible, healthy, and vibrant artistic ecosystem through support and professional-level presentation of music and sound-oriented art by creatives at diverse career stages who represent the diversity of Amiskwaciwâskahikan ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ / Edmonton, and to further engage the public through inspiring community outreach programs.
