The Toronto Music Experience is a bold new cultural destination that celebrates the music, its creators and performers of Toronto – past, present and future. Located in an accessible downtown location, TME will preserve and showcase the city’s unique music history across all genres, including jazz, blues, classical, pop, folk, rock, reggae, hip-hop, latin, Indigenous, electronic and world music.

​

As a non-profit, charitable organization, TME will not only honour the city’s musical past, but present current artists and music of Toronto today.  And through educational and public programs, exhibitions, events and performances, it will inspire future generations of performers, writers, artists and music industry leaders and foster a love and appreciation for music. 

​

Our Mission

 

The Toronto Music Experience (TME) celebrates Toronto’s extraordinary multicultural music legacy and empowers our creative future.

​

Our Vision

 

Through preservation and presentations, TME aims to inspire music lovers with museum exhibitions, events and programs that explore the city’s unique and diverse music culture, past and present.

​

Our Values

​

TME conducts its work on Indigenous land and recognizes that our city has been enriched by Indigenous traditions and many cultures from around the world which need to be represented. 

 

TME’s activities reflect its commitment against racism and discrimination of any kind, whether towards Women, people of African heritage, of Asian descent, or the LGBTQ2S+ community. Our pledge to equity extends to eradicating physical, social and economic obstacles to participation in our programs.

 

TME strives to stimulate learning through a deeper understanding of Toronto’s music culture, showcase its diversity and champion emerging artists. 

We look to inspire future artists and enrich the knowledge of the larger community by celebrating the past, present, and future of the city’s music. 

 

We seek to engage the communities that comprise the Toronto Area in the spirit of collaboration and partnership to tell the stories of the city.
