Toronto Bach FestivalJoin us for an immersive weekend celebrating the boundless imagination of J.S. Bach from May 22–24, 2026. With four distinctive concerts across three beautiful Toronto venues - Eastminster United Church, the Church of the Holy Trinity, and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian - the festival offers a unique way to experience Bach’s extraordinary musical world.

The festival opens with a vibrant evening of double concertos, showcasing the thrilling interplay of paired soloists. Enjoy our ever-popular, noon-hour organ recital, a perennial audience favourite, and settle in for the beloved Kaffeehaus—always sold out and not to be missed—featuring R.H. Thomson, outstanding soloists, and the spirited secular cantata Hercules at the Crossroads. The weekend concludes with a rich Sunday afternoon of choral cantatas.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
