TWO FOR

TORONTO

As someone who grew up in western

Canada, I am as sensitive to "Torontocentricity"

in cultural reportage as

anyone, but I felt I had to respond to

Thomas M~ Vares' letter that appeared

in last month's Pulse. In that I run a

classical music recording business, I

have the opportunity to attend (and

record) many concerts in the Toronto

area and I have to say that much of

what I record is of very high calibre

and that the concerts themselves are

very well attended. It is that quality of

public support that makes the Toronto

cultural scene what it is.

In other centres; it is not uncommon

for musicians to beaver away for weeks

and months on concert repertoire, only

to have fewer than ten people show up

for the actual concert. In Toronto, on

the other hand, even a semi-professional

church choir can count on getting 100

to 200 people out on a cold winter's

night, spending $10 to $20 to get in.

On any given day, Torontonians

frequently have the choice of five or six

classical or new music events to attend,

spanning a tremendous range of styles

from early music to the most

adventurous avant-garde.

As our musicians become more and

more involved with, ahem, recording,

Late

we can see many attaining international

reputations: Quartetto Gelatto,

Tafelmusik, and most recently, the TSO

with their Finlandia Label recording ·

contract.

The corridor that stretches from

Windsor to Montreal holds the largest

concentration of musicians in the

country. To say that the bulk of world

class quality is concentrated in

Montreal, is, in my view, inaccurate.

Toronto centred musicians and

audiences are both responsible for

creating and supporting a vibrant

cultural scene.

Frank Lockwood

Re: Mr. Thomas M. Vares' letter in

your March 1996 issue stating that "the

performing of contemporary Canadian

classical music is almost non~existent in

Toronto compared to Montreal":

I would be interested to know where

Mr. Vares gets his information and I or

how he arrived at such a conclusion,

since he is most certainly very incorrect

in terms of the amount of Canadian

music performed in Toronto. In fact,

according to Music Matrix Services

statistics, there were a total of 450

individual concerts of contemporary

classical works in last year's music

season, and many of the works that

appeared in those concerts were by

Canadians.

As well, I counted 28 concert

performances in the March 1996

listings of Pulse that included 20thcentury

and contemporary Canadian

classical music.

There are more contemporary music

ensembles in-Toronto doing Canadian

work than in any other city in Canada.

TaxiCabaret: hope or hoax!

MARCH 24 1996: Inspired by

the legendary romance and

success of Venice's gondoliers,

a group of entrepreneurial

Toronto singers today

announced the launch of

"TaxiCabaret" a singing cab

service.

Commencing April 1, the

enterprising group of seven

will combine singing ability

with skill at piloting a taxi

around town, serenading their

clients on the fly.

"Everyone knows these are

tough times" comments

TaxiCabaret spokesperson ·

Alan G~sser. ''We figured if we

took government's advice and

got real jobs there'd be that

much more to go around for

artists with less portable gifts.

I mean you can't play a viola

while you're driving -- at least

not very well.''

"It's wonderful" says an

ecstatic Jennifer Chamandy.

"Whenever I'm back from

touring, I get to earn money

as I practise!" T~nor Douglas

Rice is equally delighted: "I

love to sing and I love to

drive - it's a perfect

combination! And at lOO

km I h you've really got _a

'captive audience.'' "For sure"

says Bill Silva. "And the

acoustics are way better than

the O'Keefe.''

How it works

for an audience. We can all

When a passenger gets into handle rejection. We can take

the back seat of a Cabaret cab ' directions. And anyone who

he I she will see, in addition to can read a new music score

the usual photo-ID, a "menu" can learn how to handle a

of the singer's repertoire, from road map. ... It's a niche

which the passenger can

request a personalized trip

programme.

TaxiCabaret cabs will

initially have a bust of

Beethoven as a hood

ornament to identify them.

"Choosing Beethoven was a

bit of a compromise" explains

Rita Ghent. "But I mean if

you're picking up customers

after Sunset Boulevard who's

going to recognize Scriabin?"

"We'd hoped to start with

winking Beethoven cab lights

right away" says Ghent, "but

we'll have to see what the tips

are like before we get fancy.''

(Cabaret cabs will cost no

more than regular cabs--as in

the restaurant trade, the

customer gets to signal

approval or disapproval of the

quality of the service by the

size of the gratuity.)

"Let's hope they base their

tips on the singing, not the

driving," says Ghent. "At least

initially. I mean how many

performers do you know who

get to practise driving.''

Perfect synergies

"The synergies are perfect"

raves' Gasser. "Our serenading

drivers have been doing the

night shift for years, looking

market where we can really

compete. I mean, we're way

more upbeat than the PhDs

out there."

Hurdles

All going well TaxiCabaret

takes to the streets April 1.

But there are three major

hurdles to overcome.

First, the Licensing

Commission has raised

concerns that singing drivers

will have an unfair advantage

over their non-singing

colleagues. "It's a valid

concern" says tenor Dan

Chamandy. "It's not selfregulating

like gondolas where

a top-weight tenor sinks the

boat."

So the TaxiCabaret 7 have

proposed a solution which

they hope will satisfy the

Commission: free workshops

for tonally-challenged caboies.

Tenor Bill Silva who will run

the first workshop comments:

"Sure learning to sing is a

lifetime pursuit, but as every

cabbie knows, it's amazing

what you can pick up in a

day.''

New music threat

The second serious obstacle is ·

PULSE

by Viola Jones

-new music practitioners

worried that their product will

be less marketable. "It is a

problem" says operetta buff

Henry Ingram "but we're

working on it. As soon as we

find a cab with four hubcaps,

Murray Shaeffer is going to

write a Suite for it, so we can

offer our contemporary

colleagues the Spadina Avenue

route.''

Cultural control

The third obstacle is Metro

Cou~cil's Cultural Division

which has expressed the

concern that in the absence of

critical scrutiny the

driver I singers will deliver

substandard performances. So

the group is proposing that

diva Mary Lou Fallis, a master

of disguise, be retained to ride

Taxicabaret incognito, to

ensure that Toronto patrons

are getting a quality ride.

"I'd be honoured," says

Fallis. "Everyone knows a

world-class city can be

instantly recognized by the

character of its cabbies.''

A spokesperson for

provincial premier Mike

Harris said the'.premier was

not thinking culturally at this

moment. But Community

Services Minister Dave

Tsubouchi opined that if

drivers can persuade more

than 21 Olo of their passengers

to sing.along, the scheme will

probably qualify as work fare.

"That's great" said Gasser.

"We're looking forward to

taking the taxi-payer for a

ride.''

Interested patrons of the arts

wanting to get in on the action

early can call 416-925 GAS 7 to

·book their first TaxiCabaret ride.
