Flute 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

Founded in 2012, Rezonance Baroque Ensemble has become widely known as one of the boldest and most distinctive chamber groups on Toronto’s classical music scene. This reputation is founded on programming focusing primarily on music of the Baroque, regularly integrating improvisation and making use of innovative concert formats to frame the ensemble’s diverse repertoire. As the group’s reputation has grown, it has developed an audience that has become increasingly captivated by these innovative yet accessible performances. In 2019, Rezonance was featured in the Early Music America Emerging Artists Showcase. On the wings of this success, Rezonance released its debut album, James Oswald: Airs for the Seasons, with Leaf Music in 2023.
Inspired by history and informed by the present, Rezonance leads its audiences through their discovery of under-appreciated and unusual works, as well as new ways of hearing the classics, in a manner that is intimate, accessible, and fun, while maintaining the highest possible artistry.

Apocryphonia ventures beyond the standard fare of traditional classical music programming to reveal the beautiful, the lost, and the rare in a rather unpretentious and enjoyable manner.
Its mission: to seek out and share hidden and obscure musical masterpieces, either from composers you may not know, or rare works by familiar names.
Apocryphonia’s concerts are the best chance to discover your new favourite pieces by your new favourite 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.
