Friends of Music at St. Thomas's (honorary co-chairs, Larry Beckwith and Molly Johnson) hosts a concert series featuring an exciting array of artists specialising in everything from Renaissance music to jazz, and Western classical repertoire to traditional music from around the world. The Friends of Music program supports artists by providing a venue they love performing in, and helps fund the free music program that St. Thomas’s Anglican Church offers for children (grades 2 to 12). The St. Thomas's Choristers learn ensemble singing, vocal technique, and music theory in a fun atmosphere (stthomas.on.ca/choristers).

Our 2025/26 concert series includes: French and English music of the Hundred Years' War, performed by Comtessa and Diapente Renaissance Quintet; our second sing-your-heart-out Hymn Festival; a program by Lute Legends; a special evening with Molly Johnson; the superb Eybler Quartet; sitar player Neha Mahajan, and two trombone virtuosos (see stthomas.on.ca/concert-series).

In addition, St. Thomas’s liturgical music program is renowned for excellence. Evensong at 5pm every Sunday features choral music that ranges from plainchant to repertoire of the British cathedral heritage, to works by contemporary composers.

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.
