Continuum originated as a collective of composers and musicians dedicated to presenting contemporary music and fostering the work of emerging composers.
Through energy, imagination and superb musicianship, we've become a vital part of the contemporary cultural scene in Canada and increasingly abroad.
Our biennial Call for Scores provides an opportunity to bring exciting new works, new composers, and even new forms of music, to the attention of a widening audience.
Continuum offers a way for people who love music and are curious about the world around them to engage as listeners, as supporters or as volunteers.
Formed in 1985, Continuum Contemporary Music presents concerts featuring the core ensemble of flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano, and percussion, as well as unusual instrumental combinations. The organization has been responsible for commissioning and premiering close to 150 new works from emerging Canadian and international composers in the first stages of significant careers and also established composers charting new territory. Early on voice was a focus; it was for championing new work in this area and commissioning extensively for soprano Barbara Hannigan that Continuum won the 1994 Jean A. Chalmers Award. Increasingly the group engages in collaborative and interdisciplinary work.
