Summer has arrived and with it, the regular concert season closes. But this is by no means the end of music for the season: rather, summer festivals are starting in abundance, providing a rich array of musical experiences, from orchestra and choir concerts to chamber and solo recitals. So welcome to the WholeNote’s 11th annual Green Pages, our guide to summer festivals throughout Ontario, across Canada and beyond, presenting music of all sorts – classical, jazz, opera, folk, world music and much more – in a plethora of unique and beautiful settings across the country! Our Green Pages Summer Music Guide comprises three sections. First, you’ll find the profiles of 39 summer festivals from far and wide joining us as Green Pages members this year.

On The Road 2014 Coming Soon

Compiled and edited by Sara Constant

Once again, it’s that time of year where we cast our nets wide and ask Canadian musicians across our community what they’re looking forward to this summer, both as listeners and performers, and what their plans are for the season ahead.

Every year it’s the same four questions – and yet, they call forth an array of responses as varied and unique as the musicians themselves. With new updates and responses coming in every day, be sure to check out this page from time to time to read up on the summer plans of this year’s “On-the-Roaders.” Here follows a taste of what they’re up to during the coming summer months.
