Global Toronto

Global Toronto is a music showcase and conference rooted in re-imagining a sustainable, equitable, and accessible future for the music sector. It is a platform to discover great music and create connections and professional contacts, while building community and creating a space to discuss and make change. More than just a marketplace, Global Toronto is also a meeting place, a global gathering in the tradition of our home, which has been a site of coming-together for millennia. GT is produced by Small World Music (SWM).

Since 1997, SWM has employed the power of music to celebrate diversity and bring communities together, presenting culturally-diverse Canadian and international artists to audiences across Greater Toronto and working with and for equity-deserving, under-represented, marginalised artists, audiences, and industry players in various ways. In addition to live-music presentation and an annual (Sept) festival, SWM runs the venue/studio Small World Centre, produces the Global Toronto music conference/showcase, and runs the eMERGEnce Music Incubator artist development program for newcomer and emerging artists.
