Wychwood Clarinet ChoirThe Wychwood Clarinet Choir brings together the family of clarinets from the E flat sopranino down to the contrabass. Our range of instruments is matched by the variety of our repertoire. We perform new compositions and arrangements, many written or transcribed by our Composers’ Collective. The choir, now in its 16th season, is directed by clarinetist and conductor Michele Jacot. Choir members are admitted by audition and pay an annual membership fee. Members are dedicated clarinetists eager to share their love of music-making in a collegial and musically challenging environment. We strive to create opportunities for serious amateur musicians to develop their musical skills and to share our music more broadly in educational settings and in the wider community. The group rehearses and performs on a regular basis in Toronto’s St. Clair and Wychwood area. Check out our YouTube videos and look for updates on our website. New members welcome - please contact us for audition information.

The choir specializes in eclectic international music and takes pride in singing in the original languages - everything from Arabic to Zulu.The choir also collaborates with a variety of other musicians and performing groups. Last season the choir performed an all-Spanish program of Latin American music with Sikuris St. Lawrence and the North American premiere of Aharon Harlap's Requiem with the York Chamber Ensemble.

The up-coming season features a collaboration with the Wychwood Clarinet Choir in the fall. The winter concert theme will be 'Dance'. The choir will perform songs from international dance music accompanied by ethnic dancers. In the spring the choir will present some concerts outside the GTA with Denise Williams, exploring the musical traditions from the African, Jewish and Muslim Diaspora.

The Jubilate Singers rehearse on Tuesday evenings, September through June, in the City of Toronto. Each year the choir donates free tickets to settlement houses, seniors' centres and other community organizations for people who would not otherwise be able to attend cultural events.

Flute Street, now in its second decade, is a homogeneous, seven-octave, full range chamber ensemble comprised exclusively of flutists who perform on nine different sizes of flutes from the tiny piccolo to through to the largest flute – the very rare, and Canada's only, double contrabass flute. With two additional contrabass flutes, the unique contr'alto and several bass and alto flutes there is an unexpected depth and beautiful richness achieved in Flute Street's sound. Audiences delight in the varied programming which includes renaissance and baroque repertoire, pop tunes, a few symphonic transcriptions, folk songs, jazz standards, solo features with international and local guest artists, and in particular, original and contemporary flute choir compositions – many of which have been Canadian or world premieres.

Under the artistic direction of founder, Nancy Nourse, and conducted by Isaac Page, Flute Street is pleased to present its 11th anniversary season at the Church of St. Peter and St. Simon-the-Apostle.

    The Toronto Choral Society has been an integral part of Toronto’s musical history for 180 years! In order to go forward with the highest level of integrity, authenticity and good humour we need to expand our membership. Our new season begins in September, when we will be preparing for our traditional Christmas concert at Koerner Hall, on December 1. This concert will feature Vivaldi’s Gloria, Gloria from Bach’s Mass in B Minor, Gloria from Mozart’s Spatzenmesse, and other works. We aspire to creatively reflect Toronto’s diverse culture through our music. If you like to sing and enjoy a weekly evening of socializing, you could be performing with us in the coming season and be a part of a unique musical experience, “singing is the one thing in my life that never fails to take me to where disenchantment is almost nonexistent and feeling good is pretty much guaranteed.” For info please visit our website.

    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.
