Our Mission
At Modern Sound Collective, we aim to foster a nurturing community that inspires young artists through accessible opportunities for growth and collaboration, and to share our love of contemporary choral music through sincere and passionate performances.
Modern Sound Collective is a by-youth-for-youth choral organization whose aim is to foster a nurturing community that inspires young artists. MSC provides accessible opportunities for growth and collaboration, and shares their love of contemporary choral music through sincere, passionate performances and regular commissions of new music. MSC was founded in 2015, and has premiered over 50 new choral works by more than 25 early-career composers. They run four different choral programs for youth and young adults, and celebrate the power and joy of collective music making and its power to bring people together.
They welcome singers of all backgrounds and experiences to be a part of their vibrant choral family. Members of Modern Sound Collective have the opportunity to grow as a musician and person, forge lifelong friendships, and contribute to the joyous experience of collective music-making. Throughout their musical journey, MSC has had the opportunity to perform with a wide array of talented and inspiring musical ensembles and at festivals, including appearing in concert with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, at SING! Festival Toronto, with the Chamber music society of Mississauga, and as a featured guest artist with the Exultate Chamber Singers, Orpheus Choir of Toronto, Amadeus Choir of Greater Toronto, and at PODIUM, Canada's largest choral conference and festival.
In 2022, MSC launched MSC Presents, an artist-first publishing house that supports young composers and makes their music accessible for purchase and performance. MSC Presents is proud to have published works by over 15 amazing young composers.
