Soundstreams is a global leader in the presentation of innovative, carefully curated, and immersive musical experiences. Artistic Director Lawrence Cherney is committed to showcasing the work of living Canadian and global composers/musicians.

Our 2024/25 season offers new music for chamber ensemble, choir and opera. The program “with you and without you” asks important questions about the vulnerability of human relationships through the lens of the love song in provocative works by Ana Sokolovic, Oliver Knussen and Tansy Davies. Tarik O’Regan’s I Sleep But My Heart Waketh, performed by the illustrious Vancouver Chamber Choir, is inspired by the Biblical Song of Songs, considered by many the greatest love song ever written.

If we seek spiritual guidance from some thing or some being beyond ourselves, what would we ask for? Letters to God, featuring Japan’s legendary Fujii Percussion and choirs, explores some of those questions, including some astonishing ones from children. Invocations explores our yearning for spiritual connection through various traditions including: the “nign”, a wordless and improvised prayer dating back to medieval Hasidic Judaism; and German Romanticism.

Apocryphonia 2023Apocryphonia ventures beyond the standard fare of traditional Canadian classical music programming to reveal the beautiful, the lost, and the rare. Its mission: to seek out and share hidden and obscure musical masterpieces; whether they are from composers you may not already know, or are rare works by familiar names. We strive to create affordable, accessible Classical Music concerts that showcase Canadian performers. Apocryphonia’s concerts provide both listeners and musicians the chance to discover their new favourite pieces by their new favourite composers.

The Third Cycle of Musical Revelations - our upcoming season - includes:

  • September 29, “Sing to Me Again”: Chamber music + art song from Eastern Europe, Canada & the Caucasus with Duo CBJ & MH
  • October 15, “Amor Con Fortuna”: The Diapente Quintet takes you to Renaissance Spain
  • November 8, “Brews, Beauties & Brawlers”: Charles Villiers Stanford's Irish ballad, 'Phaudrig Crohoore' and more
  • November 29, “Diapente Book of Carols 2”: Christmas Cheer, Renaissance Style!
  • May 2025, “Faignient and Friends”: Premiere performances of 16th c. Franco-Flemish composer Noe Faignient
  • June 2025, “A Cabinet of Curiosities 2”: An eclectic mix of chamber music presented entirely at random!

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.
