Click here for info

The CMC Short-term creative residencies are a rolling residency program for composers, ensembles, and production companies involved in the production or researching of Canadian Music in CMC’s Chalmers Performance Space in downtown Toronto. These self-directed residencies provide you or your organization with space and time in which to experiment and cultivate new works or research new avenues for creativity. Residencies take place during work hours, 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. Residencies may range from a few days up to 4 weeks (excluding weekends) and may take place at any time of the year subject to availability of the performance space.

CMC Ontario – Concert Series
Deadline / rolling
Click here for info

Starting in 2023,  The Ontario Region of the Canadian Music Centre is offering up to six $1,000 sponsorships each year, available to Associate Composers and new music performers, ensembles, and presenters, to produce a concert featuring at least 50% of music by Ontario Associate composers, allocated regionally in the following areas:

  • Eastern Ontario (Ottawa, Kingston)
  • Southern Ontario (Hamilton, Kitchener, Niagara)
  • Western Ontario (London, Windsor)
  • Central Ontario (Peterborough, Barrie, Owen Sound)
  • Northern Ontario (North Bay, Sudbury, Manitoulin)
  • Northwestern Ontario (Thunder Bay, Sault-Ste-Marie, Kenora)

CMC ON will promote the concerts via the CMC Ontario eBlast, our website, and social media (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter). In return we ask that the concerts are billed as co-presentations providing equal billing to CMC ON on programs, website page about the concert, and any promotional materials using our logo. After the event, CMC ON will solicit a statement about the benefit of the support. Where possible, someone from CMC ON will attend.

While offering a source of new funds to areas historically deprived of new music performances and our help promoting concerts under this umbrella, this new paradigm of working has the potential to increase the number of concerts CMC ON presents each year, broaden our presence across the province, help us meet new people doing creative things, and help us better fulfill our provincial mandate and mission.

A specific number of sponsorships will be allocated to each area annually. Applications will be reviewed by staff as they are received until the funds for each area are committed.

NAISA General Call for SubmissionsDeadline / May 31, 2024
Click here for info
Application Form

New Adventures in Sound Art (NAISA) invites artists of all ages and nationalities to submit works on the theme ”There is Art in Our Nature” for consideration in New Adventures in Sound Art’s 2025 programming.

The complexity of the natural world is astounding in its diversity and musical nuance. The privilege to be able to visit, record and interpret the biophony of a place is a special opportunity. In a small way it helps us to deepen understanding and stake a small reminder in the importance of ensuring the health and survival of the biosphere. NAISA is located in a region where the natural world has had many impacts on art making – often cited is the work of Tom Thomson and the Group of Seven who travelled to the area for inspiration. What are the acoustic influences of nature on the music making, sonic expression and interactive media taking place today?

For its 2025 programming, NAISA is interested in submissions of work related to the theme “There is Art in Our Nature” and creative ways that this theme can be explored. Individual interpretations or variations on the theme are encouraged, but should be realized with sound as the primary component.
