February 13, 2025“When Music Meets Mindfulness” - An Introduction
by Vania Chan
I was living in New York, completing my master’s degree in classical voice at the Manhattan School of Music. Worries about being successful in my burgeoning career were constantly on my mind. Truth be told, I felt like a headless…
February 12, 2025Halls of all sizes take the sting out of the season
by Colin Story
February and March are not the most glamorous months of the year; between salt-stained boots, wind-whipped skin, and the knowledge that spring will mostly just be more winter, it’s a miracle that any of us get out at all. Things,…
February 12, 2025Angela Garwood-Touw: Living a Zone 10 Classical Life
by Sophia Perlman
The “up here” in this month’s column is (mostly) Timmins, where Angela Garwood-Touw has a busy schedule. The New Brunswick born violinist is Concertmaster for the Timmins Symphony Orchestra, regular First Violinist for the Sudbury and North Bay Symphonies, and…
February 12, 2025Jean-Sébastian Vallée’s Toronto’s Mendelssohn Choir
by Angus MacCaull
The comforting smell of coffee lingered in the air as conductor Jean-Sébastian Vallée listened to the fading notes of the morning’s final song. More than a hundred people had gathered in red-carpeted Yorkminister Park Baptist Church on a Saturday this…
February 12, 2025When musicians meet at the crossroads
by David Perlman
Tafelmusik Baroque Ensemble is making good use of its emerging hybrid artistic leadership model: a three-player artistic co-directorship (Brandon Chui, Dominic Teresi, and Cristina Zacharias), mentored by Principal Guest Director Rachel Podger. Together they are in the process of putting…
February 12, 2025La Reine-garçon: A thoroughly modern Christina? Or not.
by Lydia Perović
A feminist before the term existed, an intellectual and art connoisseur, a friend of René Descartes, a modern woman demanding freedom to live her life as she pleases, most likely a lesbian? The Montreal Opera - Canadian Opera Company co-production…
February 12, 2025An intoxicating elixir - D.D. Jackson’s Poetry Project at the Redwood
by Andrew Scott
For angsty teenagers (and I know this from personal experience), relatably disillusioned literary characters can provide a feeling of connection as the reader works through their own age-appropriate sense of despondent ennui. J.D. Salinger’s Holden Caulfield was (and perhaps still…
February 11, 2025Ladies of the Canyon at Soulpepper
by Jennifer Parr
One of my favourite things at Soulpepper is their concert series. Under the leadership originally of creator and music director Mike Ross and now under Frank Cox-O’Connell, each concert explores a new theme, artist or group of artists, interweaving words…
February 04, 2025Hot Damn, Let's Jam!
by Ori Dagan
Much like the word “jazz” itself, the origin of the term “jam session” is up for debate, but there’s no denying the multi-layered potential that jam sessions unleash: community building, essential education, artistic exploration and audience engagement. Before we dive…
February 03, 2025In With A Bang: The New Year's Vibrant Sound Array
by Wendalyn Bartley
February and March bring a vibrant array of new sounds, kicking off with an energetic start of multiple concerts in early February. And right in the middle, in early March, comes International Women’s Day on March 8 – a time…
December 12, 2024Solo Journeys – boomerangs, loopers, and home from home
by Sophia Perlman
Shortly after I moved north I was having a conversation with one of my younger, wiser siblings, and they offered the general life philosophy that if you look at whatever it is you’re doing, and if it doesn’t scare the…
December 12, 2024Perennials, panto, old favourites and modern takes highlight this year’s holiday fare
by Jennifer Parr
The holiday season’s musical shows run a wonderful gamut: perennial holiday fare; more modern takes on the holiday; year-round family favourites; and, of course, pantomime. Among the perennials this year are such shows as the National Ballet’s Nutcracker, the Shaw…12 Dec 2024 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed10 Oct 2024 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed01 Sep 2024 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed31 Mar 2024 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed06 Feb 2024 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed17 Feb 2023 - Colin StoryMainly Clubs, Mostly Jazz06 Nov 2022 - Colin StoryMainly Clubs, Mostly Jazz05 Nov 2022 - Paul EnnisRemembering04 Oct 2022 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed27 May 2022 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed25 Apr 2022 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed15 Mar 2022 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed24 Sep 2021 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed06 Jul 2021 - David PerlmanRemembering20 Mar 2021 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed09 Feb 2021 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed08 Feb 2021 - Steve WallaceJazz Notes06 Dec 2020 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed06 Dec 2020 - Andrew TimarWorld Music06 Dec 2020 - Jennifer ParrMusic Theatre06 Dec 2020 - Jack MacQuarrieBandstand06 Dec 2020 - Colin StoryMainly Clubs, Mostly Jazz06 Dec 2020 - Steve WallaceJazz Notes03 Nov 2020 - David PerlmanEditorial and Op-Ed03 Nov 2020 - Matthew WhitfieldEarly Period03 Nov 2020 - Steve WallaceJazz Notes03 Nov 2020 - Jack MacQuarrieBandstandCurrent Issue
