ISCM World New Music Days 2017

The International Society for Contemporary Music (ISCM) has been at the forefront of new music since its establishment in 1922, serving as a vital network for contemporary composers worldwide. In November 2017, Vancouver hosted the ISCM World New Music Days, a monumental event that showcased nearly 140 new music works performed by over 300 musicians from 50 countries, marking the largest gathering of contemporary music in Canadian history.

With a focus on innovation and collaboration, the festival featured 30 world premieres, including notable compositions such as "Pressed for Time" by Mohamed Assani and John Oliver, and "Klee Wyck Woman" by Jennifer Butler. Supported by the Canadian League of Composers and Music on Main, ISCM2017 celebrated the fusion of diverse musical traditions and the creation of new artistic expressions.
