Join Vancouver New Music at All Yesterday’s Parties as the organization celebrates more than 50 years of bringing innovative music and sound art to the community. To mark the occasion, Vancouver New Music will host an open house at VIVO Media Arts Centre on November 23 from 7:30 pm to 10 pm with live performances by Matthew Ariaratnam, Andromeda Monk, Sapphire Haze, and Anju Singh.

Founded in 1973 by a group of musicians, radio producers, and university faculty, Vancouver New Music was one of the city’s first platforms for commissioning and presenting contemporary music. From its earliest days, the organization has been dedicated to supporting artists while simultaneously raising the profile of new music and enriching the arts community through festival and concert presentations, unique workshops, and local events.

Access to the event is free, and snacks and refreshments will be served. Guests can RSVP by November 17 through Vancouver New Music.
