The Edison Singers 2022

The Edison Singers is a fully professional chamber choir founded and led by internationally-acclaimed Artistic Director and Conductor, Dr. Noel Edison. Our vision is to reach out to communities large and small with the world’s finest choral music.

The Edison Singers draws from a pool of 35 professional singers with diverse cultural and work backgrounds. We include choristers of all gender expressions, ethnicities and physical abilities. Please submit audition requests along with resumes to Heather Fleming, coordinator@theedisonsingers.com.

We currently produce an annual concert series in four Ontario communities: the Toronto Area, the Niagara Area, Brantford and Wellington County. These centres are the hubs for our seasons, and we aim to become an integral part of the musical life of each community, bringing hope, joy, and inspiration through the novel storytelling of choral music.

The Edison Singers has been fortunate to receive support from the Ontario Arts Council and many private donors, to help support our past and upcoming seasons, and our NAXOS recordings. We are committed to supporting Canadian talent. Our newest NAXOS recording is a compilation of choral music by Canadian composer, Timothy Corlis, and will be released December 2025.

Vesnivka ChoirVesnivka Choir, established in 1965 by founding artistic director Halyna Kvitka Kondracki, has delighted audiences around the world with its rich repertoire of Ukrainian liturgical, classical, contemporary and traditional folk music. Vesnivka, together with its partner, the Toronto Ukrainian Male Chamber Choir (TUMCC) (also founded by Kondracki and singing under the umbrella of Vesnivka Choir), are often accompanied by professional soloists and chamber ensembles of area musicians.

Vesnivka also sings at Christmas and Easter Liturgies. New singers for both choirs are welcome throughout the year. If interested, please contact us via the website.

The Canadian Bandurist Capella is a vocal-instrumental ensemble that combines the sounds of male choral singing with the orchestral accompaniment of Ukraine's national classic instrument the bandura. The music of the Kobzars (blind minstrels) and choral singing are core elements of Ukraine's musical history and culture. They were the seeds that inspired a group of dedicated individuals to form the Capella in June 2001. Their goal was for the Capella's ensemble of bandura instrumentalists and choristers to be ambassadors of Ukrainian music and the Kobzar/Bandurist Art Form.

Through dynamic musical arrangements and performances, the Capella delivers a unique listening experience that raises the profile of the bandura and Ukrainian Song in the Ukrainian-Canadian community and beyond.

The mission of the Canadian Bandurist Capella is to explore the full potential of the modern bandura within a male choral ensemble, to bring together individuals who are committed to advancing choral-bandura music while respecting its rich history, and to promote and popularize the bandura within and beyond the Ukrainian-Canadian community by maintaining a high standard of artistry, musicianship and performance.

Flute StreetFlute Street, Toronto’s professional flute choir, opens its 12th season in a new venue: the acoustically fine and easily accessible St. Andrew’s United Church, 117 Bloor Street East. Under the artistic direction of founder Nancy Nourse and conductor Isaac Page, Flute Street offers its growing audiences highly polished and musical renderings of the very best original works, recently composed for a full range flute ensemble. From the gigantic double contrabass flute (the only one in Canada) to the tiny piccolo on the top, Flute Street fills seven octaves with vivid flute colours. Along with the original repertoire, they perform symphonic transcriptions, Renaissance and Baroque fare, folk song settings, the occasional jazz standard and solo performances by Canadian and international guest artists. Additionally, this season, two exciting new works from Flute Street’s recent “Call for Scores” will be premiered. Please join us on:

  • Sunday, November 2, 2025, 4pm - “Colour Configurations”
  • Sunday, December 14, 2025, 4pm - “Chestnuts, Candy Canes, and Carols”
  • Sunday, April 26, 2026, 4pm – “Flutes and Fantasies”, Laurel Swinden, guest artist

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.
