Off Centre Music Salon 2022Founded in 1995 by pianists Inna Perkis and Boris Zarankin, Off Centre Music Salon is a Toronto-based chamber music series known for its adventurous programming, intimate concert experiences, and dedication to Canadian talent. Inspired by the 17th-century Parisian salon tradition and enriched by their artistic experiences in Vienna, the founders envisioned a space where music, storytelling, and intellectual exchange could flourish.

After arriving in Canada, they found an eager and supportive artistic community, and over the past 30 years, have built Off Centre into a beloved fixture in Toronto’s cultural life. Rooted in history but forward-looking in spirit, Off Centre has continually adapted—bringing together emerging and established musicians and offering audiences a uniquely personal way to engage with music. The series remains a rare blend of warmth, depth, and artistry that reflects the founders’ vision: to create not just concerts, but conversations.

“Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.” - Louis Armstrong

North Wind Concerts 2026North Wind Concerts celebrates chamber music of many kinds, with outside-the-box programming of repertoire from the European Baroque and Renaissance, and the occasional Classical and contemporary program. And through the music and Q&As of its “Chamber of Wonders” and “Encircling the World” concerts, NWC offers opportunities for delight and insight from Toronto’s richly varied musical community.

The 2026/27 season includes “Canis Familiaris”, a Baroque multimedia celebration of humankind’s best friend; festive preparations by the Musicians of the Egg in “By Starlight”; Beethoven and Berwald’s Septets for winds and strings in “7th Heaven”; a meeting of Korean traditional music and the French Baroque in “Chamber of Wonders”; a whimsical evening of music and words from 17th-century London in “Dear Diary”; and “Apollo’s Vengeance”, a lavish collaboration with Capella Intima and the Gallery Players of Niagara.

The 2026-27 season will also feature performances by the NWC Renaissance Band and musical workshops open to all. Stay tuned!

Founded in 1971, NMC is an internationally renowned leader and unique in Toronto as the foremost champion of contemporary works for large chamber ensembles, often performing alongside cutting-edge technology.

Achieving this expands listeners’ horizons, unveiling a new world of composers, ensembles, and fresh concepts.

NMC is committed to a diversity of rigour and excellence in the programming and performance of adventurous contemporary chamber music from Canada and around the globe.

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.
