Music at St. AndrewsMusic at St. Andrew’s is a community outreach program of historic St. Andrew’s Church in downtown Toronto. This program was launched in 2011 with our purchase of a Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, which we share with the greater community. The magnificent piano is used extensively in our free, mostly classical Friday Noontime Recitals featuring University of Toronto music students and professionals. The live, 45-minute recitals run from October-November and February-May. Join us October 7 for our new season launch.

On Saturday, December 3, our church will be decked with garlands and candles for an eclectic musical evening of sing-along carols and popular holiday favourites featuring jazz/pop, Celtic, Klezmer and steel pan performers. Free admission. Goodwill offerings accepted. More info on our website!

Oriana Womens Choir 2022Oriana is an auditioned ensemble of 24 amateur upper-voice singers with a long history of performance at a high artistic standard. Led by artistic director Mitchell Pady since 2011, Oriana explores the possibilities in choral music for upper voices, collaborating with a diverse range of artists to push the boundaries of typical expectations for upper-voice choral performances. We foster the creation of Canadian choral music, regularly commissioning works from Canadian composers for upper voices.

Oriana presents a three-concert series in November, March and June. Our first concert of the 2022/23 season will feature Don McDonald’s Fire-Flowers song cycle, and premiere performances of works written by Matthew Emery, Ben Keast and Marie-Claire Saindon. In March we welcome renowned Canadian composer Stephanie Martin to curate a concert of her compositions alongside works that inspired her writing. In our spring concert we will perform all-Canadian repertoire including premiere selections written by composition students from the Claude Watson program at Earl Haig Secondary School, whose creations were mentored by our artistic team over the course of the year. We look forward to welcoming you to the concerts in our 51st season!

20th ANNUAL DIRECTORY OF MUSIC MAKERS

We are pleased to present our 20th annual Blue Pages, a directory of music presenters and arts services published every year in our October magazine, and maintained year-round online, under the “Who’s Who” tab at thewholenote.com. This year’s 152-profile portrait of musical life in the Greater Toronto area and Southern Ontario has two segments: section 1 reflects the wealth and diversity of music presenters and performers in our region – orchestras, choirs, opera companies, chamber ensembles, etcetera; section 2 is for individuals and organisations providing services to artists in the communities we cover, predominantly artist managers and publicists.

We’d like to thank all who have chosen to participate in this year’s Blue Pages; individuals and organisations whose support and dedication helps sustain not only The WholeNote but the music community in general. If your organisation missed being part of the October Blue Pages, we’ll be publishing a “latecomers” supplement in the November issue. And the online directory accepts new members year round.

For information on the benefits of a WholeNote membership (of which this Blue Pages profile is a feature), please contact Karen Ages at karen@thewholenote.com or 416-323-2232 x26.
