Westben Concerts at The BarnSunshine Ahead! Bringing people together through music – reimagined Westben is genuinely sorry that Concerts at The Barn 2020 will not take place as originally planned.

TD Markham Jazz FestivalThe TD Markham Jazz Festival regrets that in keeping with COVID-19 guidelines, and to be careful that our audiences and artists stay safe, we have had to cancel this year’s festival, which was to take place August 14 to 16, 2020. However, we recognize that jazz in all its genres brings joy to listeners – and never was this more important than now, during this pandemic environment, where we cannot gather in mass to celebrate all that music has to offer. And so, TDMJF is pleased to announce that we will be bringing jazz to all of our patrons in the form of a combined live (ticketed) and virtual (live-streamed) concert series that will take place from the end of September 2020 to the end of March 2021. Schedule, locations and dates to be announced by the end of July.

Welcome to The WholeNote’s 16th annual Green Pages guide to summer music! To state the obvious, it is not "business as usual" this summer due to the pandemic. Nevertheless, we invited summer music festivals, the usual way, to let you know what they're up to and how they are adapting to the times. We've received the responses listed below, some to say they have cancelled outright, others to say they are offering live-streamed and other online events they hope you’ll tune in to, and still others to say “Like many of you, we don’t know what is coming next yet, but please stay tuned.” So have a look at the profiles presented here, to stay connected to the music you love and the creative artists and individuals who are pivoting to other platforms in these unusual times. Wishing you all a happy and healthy summer!
