The NUMUS Mandate

A. To educate, promote and advance the public's knowledge and appreciation of music by providing musical performances and concerts of recently composed music with an emphasis on Canadian composers and musicians.

B. To advance and encourage the development of musical composition by Canadians and others by promoting and arranging musical performances highlighting or featuring Canadian composers and performers.

History

Founded in 1985 by composer Peter Hatch, NUMUS has grown into one of Canada's most active new music societies. Committed to innovative programming and a high quality of performance, the NUMUS Concerts series features new music by Canadian and international composers and showcases accomplished performers and ensembles in the region, as well as visiting ensembles. As it explores the work of musicians and composers at the beginning of the Millennium, NUMUS has found a way to bring that voice to a wide-ranging audience, regularly playing to capacity audiences.
