St. James CathedralThe Choir of St. James Cathedral includes both professional and experienced amateur singers. Singing for both choral Eucharist and evensong, it also presents an annual concert in May, and a performance of Messiah in December, both with orchestra. The Advent and Christmas carol services are always very popular.

Organ recitals on the large 5100 pipe organ are presented each week of the year, normally on Tuesdays at 1pm.

St. James Cathedral also supports an artist-in-residence. The position, an annual appointment, is presently held by Silas Friesen, a young composer and instrumentalist.

All enquiries about our music may be directed to Thomas Bell, Director of Music at tbell@stjamescathedral.ca.

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.
