Untitled Ensemble Chamber Music Society 2023The Untitled Ensemble Chamber Music Society is a not-for-profit chamber music project based in Toronto/Tkaronto, Ontario that strives to explore lesser known historical and current chamber music with an emphasis on works by women and non-binary people.

This project also strives to create new and fluid groups of musicians to match the repertoire of each show, creating a meeting place and a resource for musicians who want to play chamber music, but do not have an established ensemble.

Our goal is to foster collaboration and create new ensembles who may or may not continue to exist beyond their beginnings within the Untitled Ensemble while using our multi-instrumental nature to perform a wider range of repertoire than we would be able to otherwise!

Currently we're gearing up to deliver two concerts featuring works by Ontario-based emerging composers on October 28, 2023 and February 10, 2024. These concerts will feature selected works from our Land of Lakes call for scores for string and brass ensembles. We're really excited to expand our musical ranks to include more string and brass players, and also provide live performances of these gorgeous chamber music compositions!

Greater Toronto Philharmonic OrchestraThe Greater Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra is delighted to present the 2023/24 Concert Season; a series of concerts, showcasing a harmonious blend of young talents and established guest artists. Each concert will offer a diverse musical experience, celebrating a broad repertoire ranging from classic to contemporary compositions, and works from women and black composers. Three concerts will take place at our main venue, Calvin Presbyterian Church, conveniently located at Yonge and St. Clair and easily accessible for our audience members coming from all areas in Toronto. We will conclude our season at Glenn Gould studio with an exciting presentation of classic theatrical works for singers and orchestra titled "Broadway Today". Since October 2008, the GTPO has successfully presented 15 seasons in various venues across the City of Toronto. While the majority of its regular season programs are presented in uptown Toronto, additional outreach and special events throughout the season allow the GTPO to draw on a wide audience base, both locally from uptown Toronto and beyond to other neighbourhoods and under-served communities. Led by a roster of professional guest conductors, the GTPO's reputation has grown each season.

Counterpoint Community Orchestra 2022Counterpoint is the oldest LGBT+ orchestra in Canada and possibly the world. Founded in 1984 in the gay village of Toronto, Counterpoint is celebrating its 40th anniversary with the 2023/24 season. For most of that time, rehearsals have been held at the 519 Church St. Community Centre. Although COVID-19 caused some disruption to our concert schedule and rehearsal venues, we resumed concerts in June 2022 and are returning to the 519 this fall for rehearsals. Andrew Chung has been our Music Director since 2016.

This year's season will feature opera arias by Strauss, Mozart, Gounod and Puccini and a drag performer on December 9, 2023 a largely unknown flute concerto by Heinrich Hofmann and Beethoven's Coriolan Overture and the Eroica Symphony on March 23, 2024 and 20th Century music by gay/lesbian composers such as Bernstein, Britten, Barber and Ethel Smyth for the special anniversary concert on June 15, 2024.

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.
