Our opening night is a FEW DAYS away 🤘🤘🤘 Friday March 7 we kick-off the festival, beaming with Toronto experimental music scene pride 💕

The Big Bang! is back bringing together amazing artists who work hard all year to make the Toronto creative music scene thrive. We got 5 incredible arrangers to re-imagine the extraordinary songs of Nina Simone. Come hang out with us, as we open the festival with a Bang! 💥

We will celebrate album release by three very much beloved Toronto improvisers Christine Duncan, Laura Swankey and Patrick O’Reilley. This trio is off the charts!!! 🤯

And the one and only, Allison Cameron will kick-off the festival with a new piece: Small Scale Experimental Machine…which *might or might not* 😉 include surround sound, 15 keyboards and maybe even audience participation 🤩 @allisonglamouron
