DaCapo Chamber Choir 2022The DaCapo Chamber Choir was founded in 1998 in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario under the direction of Leonard Enns. In November 2023, the choir celebrates 25 years of “giving ideas voice.” The mission of the choir is to promote the best of contemporary choral music through public performance and recordings, including the intentional championing of music of Canadian and local composers. The choir’s national NewWorks choral competition, which held its final season last year, was critical in establishing a vibrant and vital presence for recent and emerging Canadian choral music. DaCapo will continue to profile and support Canadian composers through premieres and commissioning.

The choir has released three CDs: NewWorks (2019); the award-winning ShadowLand (winner of the 2010 ACCC’s National Choral Recording of the Year award, including the Juno-nominated Nocturne by Leonard Enns); and Still (2004).

25th anniversary season:

  • November 11 and 12, 2023 - “My Spirit Sang All Day,” featuring the NewWorks competition winner Snow by Benjamin Bolden
  • April 20 and 21, 2024 - “Reflections,” featuring pianist Catherine Robertson

Westben 2023Westben is where music and nature spring to life! Nestled amongst the hills of Northumberland County, 2 hours east of Toronto, 40 minutes from Peterborough and Cobourg near Campbellford, Westben presents concerts and outdoor experiences in and around its three venues. The custom-built, timber-frame barn seats 400 with doors that roll open onto a lush meadow. Willow Hill amphitheatre offers the outdoor festival experience, and the cosy campfire venue offers performers and audiences a chance to share songs and stories with smores and a sunset. Imagine sunshine and smiles while listening to everything from Bach to Broadway, jazz, folk, pop, comedy including music by our neighbours from Alderville First Nation and the Performer-Composer Residency.

Westben is celebrating its 25th Season of Concerts opening June 2024, featuring over 70 artists in 26 concerts, plus a fully-staged musical by Brian Finley and Ken Tizzard called the Selfish Giant. But Westben is more than just great performances; it is a true music in nature experience. Gourmet picnics on the meadow, Dare to Pair dining experiences, guided nature walks with live music on a neighbouring Nature Reserve and a chance to relax by the pond, all make Westben the place to be.

Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan 2023Toronto-based Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan is a collective of professional musicians.

Toronto-based Evergreen Club Contemporary Gamelan (ECCG) is a collective of professional Canadian musicians. Its mission: to develop repertoire and a hybrid performance practice on a high artistic level on its own gamelan degung, an orchestra of tuned bronze percussion, flute, zither and drums indigenous to West Java, Indonesia. ECCG commissions new works and tours nationally and internationally. A key aspect of its mission is fostering intercultural musical connections through performances with Indonesian artists. Now entering its 40th season, ECCG became the first Canadian group dedicated to performing on gamelan in 1983. To date, it has commissioned over 200 works, toured internationally and is featured on over 15 commercial albums.

The group’s active repertoire includes arrangements of Indonesian songs and instrumentals, as well as boundary-pushing new works for degung and works, which include guest artists, dance, theatre and various media. Renowned Indonesian, Canadian, American and European composers such as John Cage, Lou Harrison, Linda Bouchard, Gilles Tremblay, Allison Cameron, Walter Boudreau, Linda C. Smith, Dieter Mack and Ana Sokolović have had works premièred by ECCG.

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.
