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.
