ArsMusica's mandate consists of four basic elements: Performers, Production Team, Repertoire, and Audience.
Performers
ArsMusica will provide musicians and singers of BIPOC ancestry with professional performance opportunities. ArsMusica will bring together both Canadian and international artists of culturally diverse backgrounds.
Production Team
ArsMusica will provide BIPOC directors, composers, conductors, designers, choreographers, and dancers, with the opportunity to work within the realm of concerts and professional opera. ArsMusica will also seek to engage the services of established BIPOC opera professionals (directors, composers, conductors, and additional artists) to work with the company in training, mentorship and production capacities.
Repertoire
ArsMusica will endeavor to commission and partner in the creation of new music and opera works- particularly works that represent a unique Canadian BIPOC experience and history. ArsMusica will also partner in the creation of new productions of standard concert and opera repertoire using BIPOC cast members.
Audience
ArsMusica plans to grow and enhance its music opera audience in Canada, and internationally by presenting and commissioning concert works, and opera productions and performances from a BIPOC cultural perspective and experience. This includes performing live concerts and opera in underserved urban and rural communities.
