About Soundstreams
Soundstreams, currently in its 41st season, is one of the world’s leading organizations in the commissioning, development, and dissemination of new music and opera. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Lawrence Cherney, it was founded in 1982 with a tribute celebrating Igor Stravinsky’s 100th birth year. Soundstreams’ curatorial platform has introduced audiences to over 170 works from some of the finest and most groundbreaking composers of our age, from R. Murray Schafer to Nicole Lizée.
From concert performances, to fully staged opera/music theatre, and everything in between, no two Soundstreams’ productions are the same. Soundstreams presents an annual Main Stage performance series in Toronto, and our touring projects are sought after by the world’s most prestigious festivals and venues.
Recent major projects bring to light under-represented voices, such as gay composer Claude Vivier’s Musik für das Ende; and the first operas written in the Indigenous languages of Cree and Sámi, Two Odysseys: Pimooteewin / Gállábártnit. Soundstreams is a three-time JUNO nominee and recipient of the Lieutenant Governor’s Award for the Arts.
