@ 'Model for a Public Space [Speaker]' by Adrian Blackwell
AIMToronto and The Music Gallery are collaborating on a night of site-specific performances, public discussions, and interactive workshops within Adrian Blackwell's 'Model for a Public Space [Speaker]' installation in Grange Park, which will emphasize not only the diverse forms of creativity of the musicians within our communities, but also the notion of improvisation as social practice. These twinned emphases will work to highlight the relationship between creative, collaborative music, and social, artistic and political dialogue more generally. The music itself will draw from many informing styles and genres, and will embrace various media including acoustic and electronic sound-sources in both small and large ensembles. However, each programming element will, at root, emphasize attentiveness, dialogue, responsiveness, responsibility, and creativity – traits which articulate the fundamentally social nature of all music-making.

At 11:30pm on the 8th and 9th of September, AIMToronto hosted a "Late Night Jam Series" on behalf of the Guelph Jazz Festival. The sessions took place at the Cornerstone Cafe in downtown Guelph.
The Friday night session was hosted by Geordie Haley (guitar) with Nick Fraser (drums) and Scott Thomson (trombone).
The Saturday night session was hosted by the Remnants Trio: Ken Aldcroft (guitar), Evan Shaw (alto saxophone) and Joe Sorbara (drums, percussion).
The sessions were attended by festival goers with local improvisers, AIMToronto members and festival performers all taking part in the music making. Please visit the festival website for more information.
Between 3pm and 5pm on Saturday 22 July, AIMToronto turned Queen Street West into a focal point of creative music in Canada by filling the neighbourhood with the diverse sounds of the finest players in the city. We hosted a short, concentrated festival of local music-making amid the works that filled the galleries along Queen West, with the aim to forge ties between and to promote the scenes of visual art and music in Toronto.
MUSIC(in)GALLERIES was a walking tour of Toronto’s improvised music scene through the geography of the Queen West neighbourhood and its most forward looking galleries. Listener/viewers experienced a range of local musical talent at no cost while viewing the exhibitions in the galleries where the music was being made.
