MAKEWAY 2027
Tickets
Info
In partnership with Luna Composition Lab, Tapestry Opera’s Women in Musical Leadership, and Arraymusic.
MAKEWAY 2027 is New Music Concerts' nationally recognized creation and mentorship program for early-career composers. Unlike most programs, MAKEWAY begins with each composer's artistic vision. Whether the music calls for electronics, soloists, non-Western traditions, or a unique combination of instruments, we build the ensemble around the idea.
Over an intensive week of rehearsals, workshops, and mentorship, participants collaborate with outstanding professional musicians while developing the artistic and practical skills needed for a creative career. The journey culminates in a public concert of world premieres, introducing audiences to some of Canada's most exciting new musical voices.
The MAKEWAY 2027 Call for Submissions is now closed. Thank you for a record number of submissions. Join our email list to stay up to date on all things MAKEWAY 2029.
