The New Music Passport
Explore Toronto’s New Music Community
The New Music Passport
The New Music Passport is a way to explore the variety of new music being presented regularly throughout Toronto, throughout the year. By paying a low, one-time fee to purchase the passport, passport-holders are offered one discounted ticket to one concert by each participating organization during the 2012–2013 season.
How does it work?
Buy your passport online for $25 plus service charge, and we’ll mail it to you, along with a copy of Musicworks magazine. Once you’ve received it in the mail, take your passport to a concert by any of the participating organizations during the 2012–2013 season and get your ticket for only $5. If you go to one concert by each of the participating organizations, you could save almost $100, and you’re sure to discover some fantastic music.
Who is participating?
