Civic Light Opera Company, The Since its 1979 debut, this outstanding music and theatre (and musical theatre!) organisation has been offering performances of some of the great musical, operatic and dramatic gems of the past century. Still under the direction of the company's founder, Joe Cascone, the company presents virtually all facets of musical and dramatic performances. From the hits of Rodgers & Hammerstein and Lerner & Loewe, Stephen Sondheim and Jerry Herman to lesser-known masterpieces by unsung composers and playwrights, the company's high quality of production and performance has been their much-heralded standard. In 2026, the world-renowned play AMADEUS (the highly fictionalized lives of Mozart and Salieri and their fascinating musical and professional relationships) is being presented at the historic VideoCabaret Theatre from July 15 to 26.

PIANO LUNAIRE is a contemporary music collective based in Toronto and New York City, pursuing the presentation of artistic excellence in the 21st Century. Founded in 2018 by pianist/composer Adam Sherkin, the company's portfolio is three-fold: to produce monthly full moon performances plus a MainStage series, "Composers In Play,” to house a recording-publishing label and, finally, to commission keyboard-centric works from a swiftly evolving roster of new-gen composers. 

Correspondingly, our mission comprises three mandates: 1) present new and dynamic music written from the last seventy-five years to present; 2) give voice to emerging professionals in the vibrant scene that is the new music ecosystem and; 3) offer audiences a direct, challenging and ultimately supportive concert experience, as they engage with the music of today and the artists of the future. 

It is Piano Lunaire's aim that our collaborations and performances spark new artistic and social developments. We hope to contribute to the evolution of classical music by challenging of existing norms of concert presentation and concert content, broadened to include living composers whose practices represent a diversity of lived experiences and cultural backgrounds.

The Victoria Scholars Men's Choral Ensemble, founded in 1993 by graduates of Toronto’s St. Michael’s Choir School, takes its name from Tomás Luis de Victoria, an outstanding Spanish composer of the Renaissance whose music is renowned for its deep spirituality and emotional expressiveness. The essence of the Scholars’ music is an emphasis on the clarity and balance of sound so characteristic of Renaissance music, which the ensemble presents through the unique sonority of male voices, and applies to a repertoire encompassing works from various eras; contemporary pieces in a variety of styles; and newly commissioned works.

Past winners of the Canada Council Healey Willan Grand Prize in the CBC Radio National Competition for Amateur Choirs, the Ensemble has completed successful tours nationally and internationally, made appearances as special guest with other artists and performing arts organizations from Toronto and abroad, and has produced its own five widely acclaimed recordings, including John Edward Ronan‘s Tenebrae.

Under the musical direction of Dr. Jerzy Cichocki, the Victoria Scholars present a 2-3 concert series annually in Toronto. Please refer to our website for concert and appearance dates.

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.
