2010 marks the fifth edition of the Music Gallery’s X AVANT New Music Festival running from October 16 to 24 in Toronto, Canada.

All access festival passes are available now for $75 via Ticketweb.ca. Festival concerts take place at The Music Gallery, SPK (Polish Combatants Hall) and The Garrison.
Program highlights include:

· Canadian exclusive club show by American post-punk pioneers Mission of Burma, featured in Michael Azerrad’s book, Our Band Could Be Your Life
· The 50 Minute Ring – Wagner’s 15 hour Ring Cycle performed in 50 minutes, by Vancouver multi-media artist Myra Davies
· Festival opening night party featuring a live A/V performance by Jeff Mills, one of the legends of Detroit techno
· French vocalist Donatienne Michel-Dansac performs the Complete Récitations by Georges Aperghis, one of the most epic feats of contemporary vocal music – only the second time this has ever been performed in history!
