Toronto 
Events Description
In partnership with the University of Toronto Faculty of Music.
Join us in the vibrant setting of STACKT Market, where we bring together leading voices in contemporary music, cultural studies, and performance to explore a provocative question: What would the musical canon look like if it began today?
Through a lively discussion, we will examine how cultural biases, systemic exclusion, and evolving values have shaped our understanding of musical excellence, and how a new canon might better reflect the diversity and creativity of today’s global soundscape. Together, we will reimagine legacy, influence, and innovation from a 21st-century perspective.
Come for the conversation, then stay to enjoy the surrounding food trucks and breweries with fellow audience members.
