Music Gallery: Emergents
The Music Gallery is a centre for promoting and presenting innovation and experimentation in all forms of music, and for encouraging cross-pollination between genres, disciplines and audiences.
Established in 1976 by members of the Canadian Creative Music Collective (CCMC), the Music Gallery occupies a unique position within Toronto’s musical ecology that allows us to present, encourage and promote leading-edge contemporary music in all genres.
Sara works as the curator for the Music Gallery's Emergents series, focusing on presenting the work of early-career artists in experimental musics.
