Music on the Donway
2004-2005 Profile

Music on the Donway is an exciting concert series presenting performers who entertain and educate their audiences. Concerts feature classical, jazz, popular and world music, celebrating the diversity of our society, and contributing to the cultural scene of North Toronto. Concerts are in the fine acoustic of Donway Covenant United Church, rehearsal location of the Elmer Iseler Singers, and proceeds support the church’s growing music programme, under the direction of Daniel Rubinoff, the series’ Artistic Director.

   The series begins on November 6th with “North America in Picture, Poetry and Piano”, a multi-media concert which combines the music of Gloria Saarinen (piano) and Daniel Rubinoff (saxophone), the poetry of Lister Sinclair (formerly of CBC Radio’s “Ideas”), and the art of Ted Harrison, renowned Canadian painter. On Feb. 12th, 2005, there will be a special Valentine’s Jazz Concert featuring the Daniel Rubinoff Jazz Trio. April 16th’s concert, “Caribbean Celebration,” features steel drum soloist Winston Fredericks and a supporting band. All concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. and include a reception for the artists.
