Wychwood Clarinet ChoirThe Wychwood Clarinet Choir brings together the family of clarinets from the E-flat sopranino down to the contrabass. Our range of instruments is matched by the variety of our repertoire. We perform new compositions and arrangements, many written or transcribed by our Composers’ Collective. The choir, now in its 17th season, is directed by clarinetist and conductor Michele Jacot. Choir members are admitted by audition and pay an annual membership fee. Members are dedicated clarinetists eager to share their love of music-making in a collegial and musically challenging environment. We strive to create opportunities for serious amateur musicians to develop their musical skills and to share our music more broadly in educational settings and in the wider community. The group rehearses and performs on a regular basis in Toronto’s St. Clair and Wychwood area. Check out our YouTube videos and look for updates on our website. New members welcome - please contact us for audition information.

VOICEBOX: Opera in ConcertVOICEBOX: Opera in Concert is Canada’s only company dedicated exclusively to the presentation of rare opera programming for over 50 years. Our performances rely on the power and beauty of the human voice, the dramatic inflection of text and poetry, accompanied by orchestra or piano.

Our performances will continue at our new venue, Jeanne Lamon Hall at Trinity St. Paul Centre, as we present three operas under the theme "Taking Ownership of Opera Rarities in Performance." The 2025/26 season will commence with Grétry’s Richard Coeur-de-Lion on Saturday, November 15, 2025. This will be followed by Bellini’s La Sonnambula on Saturday, February 14, 2026, and conclude with Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars on Saturday, March 21, 2026.

The OIC Chorus, under the direction of Robert Cooper and our Music Directors, will be featured in each production.

The Annex SingersThe Annex Singers of Toronto is a spirited, auditioned 60-voice community choir with an eclectic repertoire spanning a thousand years and showcasing a wide range of styles, from plainchant to jazz.

Founded in 1979, the choir has flourished for the past 20 years under the dynamic leadership of Artistic Director Maria Case, becoming known for inventive, relevant programming and for collaboration with a wide array of artists and composers — including commissioning and premiering new works by Canadian musicians. Recent larger works include Orff’s Carmina Burana, Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb, Dobrogosz’s Jazz Mass, Faure’s Requiem and Mozart’s Great Mass in C Minor.

We perform three concerts each season at Grace Church on-the-Hill, each featuring guest artists as well as our own Annex Chamber Choir and smaller ensembles.

Our 2025/26 season:

  • December 13 — “Radiant Dawn”
    Poulenc’s radiant Gloria, alongside contemporary settings of ancient texts illuminating the many facets of winter.

  • March 21 — “Lost & Found”
    Reflections on life’s losses and unexpected gifts, with Hovhaness, Miškinis, Runestad, Martin and others.

  • May 23 — “Elemental”
    Earth, water, air and fire — seeking harmonious balance, with Hildegard, Morley, Nyberg, and others.

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

North Wind Concerts celebrates chamber music of many kinds, with innovative programming of repertoire from the European Baroque and Renaissance, and the occasional Classical and contemporary program. And through the music-making and Q&As of its Encircling the World series, NWC offers an opportunity for delight and insight from Toronto’s richly varied musical communities.

The 2025/26 season includes “Ephemera: Corelli in China”, Italian Baroque music heard at the 18th-century court of Emperor Kangxi; words and music for the quieter moments at “Versailles in Playlist for Louis”; “Queens of Hearts”, English and Italian music from the turn of the 17th century; two “Encircling the World” programs featuring harps and clarinets; and “In the Key of Cocteau”, a collaboration with the Toronto Silent Film Festival.

NWC also presents musical workshops, and – take note! - in 2025/26 will inaugurate its Renaissance Big Band for young musicians aged 12-26!

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.
