Ottawa’s newest music festival, the Ottawa New Music Festival, isn’t just looking to showcase contemporary music. It’s aiming to make a statement. From its bold world premiere centred around the housing crisis to a lineup of boundary-pushing performers, ONMF is positioning itself as more than a music festival.

The second album by percussion/piano duo SHHH!! Ensemble is a catalogue of the sounds of human impact on the world. It’s an album of the climate crisis featuring the duo’s distinctive take on piano and percussion music.
