The Canadian New Music Network
The Canadian New Music Network (CNMN) was formed in 2005 in order to promote the value of all forms of creative concert music in Canada. One of the CNMN’s major goals is to increase networking amongst composers, performers, ensembles, presenters, promoters, educators, journalists and others interested in a vital new music community.
