A Festival of Pipes: Building Bridges Forging Friendships 2023Organ Festival Canada ’23 promises to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. For the first time, the RCCO has joined forces with the Organ Historical Society (OHS) to produce a festival of unequalled excellence, bringing together the resources of two major organisations, with an OHS focus on the instrument and the RCCO celebrating the music and performers. This will take place in Toronto hosted by the RCCO – Toronto Centre and the OHS.

A Festival of Pipes: Building Bridges - Forging Friendships encompasses all the best feelings and experiences of festivals past. You know what we mean: the late-night banter, the meeting of old friends, getting to know new colleagues, the festive feeling of a shared recital experience, and the joy of learning something new about an instrument, a performer, or a composition.

2020 SUMMER MUSIC GUIDE

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!
