of work. There are six subscription<br />

already doing. I have to conduct<br />

Concert Notes ... continued<br />
Symphony Orchestra. There are many more<br />
very good and very interesting concerts at the<br />
Faculty of Music in <strong>October</strong> - too many to<br />
mention them all, but definitely worth<br />
finding in our concert listings section.<br />
GREAT ROMANTICS fESTIVAL<br />
Hamilton's Great R'illmantics Festival,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 7 to 10, an annual event organized<br />
by Professor Alan Walker of McMaster<br />
University, is a fascinating musical and<br />
intellectual feast of concerts, lectures and<br />
discussions, with well-placed moments of<br />
relaxation in the form of receptions and<br />
banquets. Performers from all over the .world<br />
consider it a privilege to play at this gathering,<br />
and the rest of us should consider<br />
ourselves privileged that it occurs in our own<br />
backyard so to speak. For further information,<br />
the festival can be contscted at 905-529-7070<br />
ext.23674. If you are not fortunate enough to<br />
be able to spend four stimulating days in .<br />
Hamilton, a taste of the Festival will be<br />
available in Toronto on <strong>October</strong> 2 when<br />
English pianist, Melanie Spanswick, will<br />
give a recital in Toronto at Temple Baptist<br />
Church.<br />
fiRST CANADIAN<br />
CHOPIN CoMPETITION<br />
This year is the 150th anniversary of the<br />
death of one of those great romantics,<br />
Frederic Chopin, and so has been declared<br />
"Chopin Year" by UNESCO. It is also the<br />
year of Canada's first Chopin Competition,<br />
which will take place at the John Paul II<br />
Polish Cultural Centre in Mississauga with<br />
a gala final concert on <strong>October</strong> 23 at the<br />
Glenn Gould Studio. What a great opportunity<br />
to hear the best young pianists from all<br />
over Canada.<br />
lANDSMAN, ORLOFF & TURINI<br />
While every month is a good month for<br />
. chamber music in Toronto, this <strong>October</strong><br />
lppears to be especially good, in part<br />
because of a concert that brings together<br />
three of the best musicians that three cities<br />
have to offer: Montreal violinist, Vladimir<br />
Landsman, London (Ontario) pianist,<br />
Ronald Turini, and Toronto cellist, Vladimir<br />
Orloff. They will perform three pillars of<br />
the repertoire, the Tchaikovsky Trio Op. 50,<br />
the Beethoven violin sonata, Op. 30 #33 and<br />
the Brahms cello sonata, Qp. 38, at the<br />
Glenn Gould Studio on <strong>October</strong> 16.<br />
MUSIC IN THE SUBURBS.<br />
Last month we mentioned Artword Theatre's<br />
Rush Hour concerts, the second of<br />
. which will be on <strong>October</strong> 27 at 6:00,<br />
· designed for suburbanites who work<br />
downtown. There is a growing number of<br />
reaily excellent concerts in the suburbs,<br />
which shows that there is considerable<br />
interest in good music wherever you live. In<br />
addition to Festival Etobicoke, there are<br />
this month a recital by flautist Nora Shulman<br />
and pianist Leslie Kinton, part of the<br />
Performing Arts York Region series in<br />

series, featuring some of Canada's best<br />
guitarists, presents its first concert on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 22 at the Heliconian Hall, a concert<br />
of music by Canadian composers performed<br />
by William Beauvais and the Canadian<br />
Guitar Quartet.<br />
WoRLD Mus1c<br />

11!1 month's cover: Nmhan Annan Interviewed by Allan Pulker<br />
On <strong>October</strong> 30 Toronto's new<br />
professional chamber orchestra,<br />
Sinfonia Toronto, will make its<br />
long-anticipated debut at the<br />
Glenn Gould Studio. The man<br />
behind this exciting project is the<br />
orchestra's music director Nurhan<br />
Arman. Although he has conducted<br />
such orchestras here as<br />
the Royal Conse..Vatory Symphony<br />
Orchestra and the Toronto<br />
Symphony Youth Orchestra, he<br />
·has done most of his conducting<br />
in other centres and so is for<br />
many people a new name on the<br />
Toronto music scene.<br />
DISNEY?<br />
Armenian by birth, he grew up in<br />
Istanbul, where he studied at the<br />
Istanbul Conservatory, giving his<br />
first violin recital at the age of<br />
13. In 1971 he went to the United<br />
States, on a Disney Foundation<br />
Scholarship, to the California<br />
Institute of the Arts and then the<br />
University of Louisville. After<br />
completing his studies he was the<br />
(:()ncertmaster of several orches<br />
.tras, including the Florida<br />
Symphony, the Florida Chamber<br />
Orchestra and the Savannah<br />
Symphony as well as performing<br />
as a soloist in many major U.S.<br />
centres and the prestigious music<br />
festivals of Tanglewood, Spoleto,<br />
New York and Florida. After<br />
several seasons he began a<br />
conducting career which has<br />
taken him all over North<br />
America, Europe and Asia and<br />
given him a portfolio of reviews<br />
that have praised his conducting<br />
for its musicality and vitality.<br />
NoRTH BAY TO YEREVAN<br />
His connection with Canada<br />
began in 1982 when he became<br />
the conductor of the North Bay<br />
Symphony. In this post, starting<br />
with very little, he created a<br />
highly successful organization. In<br />
1987 he became the music<br />
director of Symphony New<br />
Brunswick, in which position he<br />
has built the orchestra into a<br />
major regional resource with<br />
subscription series in three cities<br />
and a well-attended summer<br />
series as well. In addition, since<br />
1993 he has been the principal<br />
guest conductor of the Yerevan<br />
Symphony Orchestra in Armenia,<br />
which means he spends from<br />
three to six weeks a year there,<br />
and he teaches conducting at the<br />
Orford Arts Centre in Quebec.<br />
CHAMBER SHADES<br />
Conducting his own chamber<br />
orchestra is something that<br />
Maestro Arman has wanted to do<br />
for a very long time. His love of<br />
the sound of small string<br />
orchestras started when he was a<br />
child: ''I grew up in Istanbul. This<br />
is a very cOsmopolitan city. All<br />
the best of Europe came during<br />
the season." Among them were<br />
the Versailles Chamber Orchestra<br />
and the Andree Colson Chamber<br />
Orchestra, whose performances<br />
he will never forget. Later, as a<br />
violinist early in his career he<br />
played in several small string<br />
orchestras, and as a conductor<br />
has conducted Paris' Jean-Louis<br />
Petit Chamber Orchestra and also<br />
started chamber orchestras as<br />
adjuncts of the North Bay<br />
Symphony Orchestra and<br />
Symphony New Brunswick.<br />
" I like the repertoire very<br />
much. It is pure music," he says.<br />
"like a string quartet except<br />
bigger and with a double bass."<br />
Sinfonia Toronto will have 14<br />
players: 4 first violins, 4 second<br />
violins, 3 violas, two cellos and<br />
one bass. With a group this size,<br />
he says, ''we will have an<br />
amazing amount of shading. The<br />
dynamic range will be incredible!"<br />
fROM THE FRONT<br />
Will he lead the orchestra from<br />
the first desk or will he conduct<br />
it? His answer is definite: "I will<br />
conduct. When I was a violinist I<br />
wanted to play and conduct, but<br />
after so much experience as a<br />
conductor, I know it will save a<br />
tremendous amount of time to<br />
have a musical authority on the<br />
podium."<br />
When musicians play<br />
together, he explains, there are<br />
always disagreements about<br />
everything from tempo and<br />

dynamics to phrasing and<br />
expression. "It's never the<br />
musician with best idea that wins<br />
in these disagreements but rather<br />
the one with the strongest<br />
convictions."<br />
As a conductor he spends<br />
a great deal of time studying the<br />
scores for the music he is going<br />
to conduct so that he can develop<br />
the strong convictions needed to<br />
convince his musicians and the<br />
audience of his interpretation.<br />
Nevertheless, what will distinguish<br />
Sinfonia Toronto will be its<br />
soloistic approach to orchestral<br />
playing. The violin and viola<br />
sections will play standing up,<br />
which, he explains, is a completely<br />
different physical<br />
approach to the instrument from<br />
sitting down to play.<br />
SETTING THE TONE<br />
The first piece on the first<br />
program will set the tone. It is<br />
the Grosse Fugue, (erstwhile<br />
final movement of Beethoven's<br />
String Quartet Op. 130)<br />
arranged for string orchestra by<br />
Felix Weingartner - soloistic<br />
not only because it is string<br />
quartet music but also because<br />
it is a fugue.<br />
So WHY HERE?<br />
His own chamber orchestra is<br />
evidently the fulfilment of a<br />
dream, and it is obvious that at<br />
this stage of his career Arman<br />
has the knowledge and the<br />
experience, both artistic and<br />
practical, to pull it together.<br />
But why, I asked, did he decide<br />
that Toronto was the place to<br />
do it and why now?<br />
His reply made a lot of<br />
sense. "First, there isn't a<br />
chamber orchestra of this<br />
calibre in Toronto. Montreal,<br />
on the other. hand, has so many<br />
chamber orchestras - more than<br />
practically anywhere else.<br />
There is a great symphony<br />
orchestra here, there is Tafelmusik,<br />
whose work I respect immensely,<br />
also the Esprit Orchestra, but this<br />
type of orchestra is lacking. Then<br />
there is the fact that there are so<br />
many good string players here now.<br />
When we announced auditions we<br />
had 120 applicants for only 14<br />
positions. Also, I have friends here,<br />
musicians, who have been urging<br />
me to do this, so finally, last year I<br />
had the opportunity to move to<br />
Toronto, and right away we began<br />
planning, setting up a board of<br />
directors, incorporating and<br />

Arman, continued<br />
of the world. Here we are<br />
entering a new century. We're<br />
still massacring each other by the<br />
millions - this is very depressing.<br />
Starting this orchestra keeps my<br />
mind occupied, because it is a lot<br />
of work. There are six subscription<br />
concerts on top of what I am<br />
already doing. I have to conduct<br />
14 subscription programs this<br />
season in Canada alone. It keeps<br />
me going.",<br />
PLANS<br />
Among his plans for the orchestra's<br />
future is to include a<br />
generous amount of Canadian<br />
programming. Already the<br />
orchestrahas commissioned a<br />
work by a Canadian composer<br />
and will premiere it in April.<br />
While the chamber orchestra<br />
repertoire is enormous, the<br />
repertoire by Canadian composers<br />
is still quite limited. To help<br />
increase the repertoire Sinfonia<br />
Toronto will be sponsoring a<br />
composition competition for<br />
Canadian composers.<br />
Nurhan Arman's favourite nonmusical<br />
pastime is playing chess,<br />
which he describes as creative<br />
problem-solving that is fun. In<br />
most socialist countries, he says,<br />
it is a compulsory school subject<br />
because it is such wonderful<br />
mental training and is all about<br />
solving problems. "Life is about<br />
making the right decisions on a<br />
daily basis" he says, so chess can<br />
help you do this! Maestro<br />
Arman's chess acumen may prove<br />
very useful in the months and<br />
years to come, as good decisionmaking<br />
will, no doubt, make all<br />
the difference to the development<br />
of Sinfonia Toronto. He certainly<br />
leaves the impression that his<br />
new orchestra is in good hands<br />
from every point of view.<br />

Calyx takes its name from the circle of leaves beneath the petals of<br />
a flower which embrace and support it - the part of the blossom<br />
which becomes the fruit: an appropriate name for an ensemble<br />
dedicated to ensuring that classical and new music concerts thrive<br />
and blossom. Soprano Narelle Martinez, flutist Susan Kutertan,<br />
and pianist Dona Beres, have joined forces in Calyx and the fruits<br />
of their efforts can be seen in the release of their first CD this fall,<br />
in performances throughout the <strong>1999</strong>/2000 season and in their role<br />
as artistic directors of the successful Music at Humbercrest<br />
concert series.<br />
Now in its second season, Music at, Humbercrest brings classical<br />
music in an intimate setting to Toronto's West End community. The<br />
<strong>1999</strong>/2000 three-concert subscription series opened last month<br />
with Butterfly - a night at the opera, featuring soprano Narelle<br />
Martinez and tenor Lenard Whiting in an evening of some of the<br />
most beautiful and best loved operatic arias and ducts. The series<br />
continues with Sounds of Love & Legend presenting harpist<br />
Sharlene Wallace and flutist Susan Kutertan in a concert of<br />
Classical beauty, Celtic dances, and South American rhythms<br />
(Sunday, November 21, <strong>1999</strong> at 2:30pm). Violinist Atis Bankas<br />

Autumn is almost upon us, and<br />
the <strong>1999</strong>-2000 Toronto new music<br />
season is rapidly coming to the<br />
boil. Several concerts in <strong>October</strong><br />
into the "not to be missed"<br />
category.<br />
SABAT AND CLARKE<br />
The violin/piano duo of Marc<br />
Sabat and Stephen Clarke<br />
continues their fascinating series<br />
of recitals at the Ettore Mazzoleni<br />
Concert Hall on <strong>October</strong> 8.<br />
These two have become<br />
recognized for their committed<br />
interpretations of contemporary<br />
music, as well as for explorations<br />
of lesser known and challenging<br />
works. This concert features<br />
Matteo Fargion's "Janet Topp"<br />
(revised version, 1998);<br />
Christopher Butterfield's "Four<br />
Short Pieces for Violin and<br />
Piano" (<strong>1999</strong>); Christian Wolff's<br />
"Pebbles" (<strong>1999</strong>); and Galina<br />
Ustvolskaya's "Duet" for violin<br />
and piano (1964).<br />
The first three pieces on the<br />
programme are world premieres,<br />
and the Butterfield and Wolff<br />
were commissioned by the Sabat/<br />
Clarke Duo. Ustvolskaya's<br />
highly personal voice is gaining<br />
in international popularity, and<br />
the 25-minute duet will be an<br />
intense, exciting conclusion.<br />
ERGO •••<br />
On <strong>October</strong> 15, the ERGO<br />
Ensemble - in association with<br />
the A.DEvantgarde: Projekte<br />
Neur Musik and The Music<br />
Gallery - presents "Stock<br />
Exchanges: Munich/Toronto".<br />
This concert follows the<br />
successful presentation of<br />
Canadian and German new works<br />
in Germany in June, and permits<br />
Toronto audiences to experience<br />
the fruits of this exchange.<br />
Six composers altogether - 3<br />
Canadian and 3 German - will<br />
receive North American premieres<br />
of their works. Participating<br />
Canadians are: Barbara Croall<br />
("Noodin" for two flutes), Marc<br />
Sabat ("Backyard Summer Patio"<br />
for bass clarinet, piano and<br />
percussion), and Allison Cameron<br />
("Quartet" for flute, clarinet,<br />
piano and percussion).<br />
Their German counterparts<br />
are all part of the A.DEvantgarde<br />
association: Moritz Eggert<br />
("Tableau" for clarinet and piano)<br />
is also a free-lance pianist,<br />
Fredrik Schwenk ("Trio" for<br />
flute, piano and percussion)<br />
teaches at the Hochschule in<br />
Augsburg, and Carl Christian<br />
Bettendorf ("Journey" for bass<br />
clarinet, piano and percussion) is<br />
studying composition. with<br />
Wolfgang Rihm in Karlsruse.<br />
Performers for this unique<br />
event include Stephen Clarke,<br />
piano; Peter Stoll, clarinet;<br />
Richard Moore, percussion; plus<br />
two European guest artists who<br />
participated in the parallel<br />
concert in Munich - Philipp<br />
Jundt (Swiz.), flute and Dorothee<br />
Binding (Ger.), flute.<br />
As an added bonus, a<br />
composers round-table discussion<br />
with the Canadian and internaby<br />
David G.H.Parsons<br />
tional guests will be held on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 16 (following day) at<br />
4:00 PM at the-6oethe·Institut;<br />
The topic: exchanges between<br />
countries (culturaVmusical); their<br />
importance in general, and this<br />
recent exchange in particular.<br />
Barbara Croall (currently an<br />
Affilate Composer with the ISO)<br />
will moderate. "I've always<br />
believed that discussions about<br />
art in general should ~ke place<br />
outside our everyday frame of<br />
reference," remarks Croall.<br />
EsPRIT'S PLEASURES<br />
The Esprit Orchestra presents<br />
"Diverse Pleasures" <strong>October</strong> 19,<br />
the first event of its <strong>1999</strong>/2000<br />
season, featuring several works<br />
from their recent European tour.<br />
"In Amsterdam we did 4 separate<br />
concerts in 3 days," music<br />
director Alex Pauk states, "each<br />
with completely different<br />
repertoire, and everyone was<br />
amazed that this was feasible.<br />
Perhaps the biggest surprise was<br />
the size and warmth of the Paris<br />
audience. It can be very hard to<br />
· break into the scene in that City,<br />
and we were truly gratified by<br />
the positive feedback."<br />
Following Denis Gougeon's<br />
striking concert opener - the<br />
effervescent and lively "Primus<br />
Tempus" (1993)- the audience<br />
will be treated to Chris Paul<br />
Harman's "Procession burlesque"<br />
(1998) and Alexina<br />
Louie's Shattered Night,<br />
Shivering Stars (1997). The<br />
latter work is featured on a<br />
recent CBC Records release of<br />
the same name, entirely devoted<br />
to Louie's orchestral music<br />
[SMCD 5190].<br />
The international content is<br />
Tiziano Manca's "Ondine"<br />
(1998), which will receive its<br />
Canadian premiere. "We<br />
performed the selected works in<br />
the young composers category at<br />
Gaudeamus," says Pauk, " and<br />
this one was especially successful.<br />
It is imaginative and<br />
charming, sensuous yet intellectual,<br />
and achieves a new sonic<br />
identity."<br />
Esprit returns to this country .<br />
for Denys Bouliane's "Du fouet<br />
et du plaisir", a striking piece<br />
' given by Soundstreams last<br />
season, and which gets a<br />
welcome re-hearing as part of<br />
Esprit's long-standing goal to<br />
establish a true Canadian<br />
repertoire. Listeners who wish to<br />
explore Bouliane's world in<br />
advance should check out his two<br />
CDs - "La' Musique du Realisme<br />
Magique, vol. I and II [SNE 543<br />
I 567].<br />
DEGENERATE MUSIC?<br />
New Music Concerts exposes an<br />
intriguing piece of musical<br />
history with its first concert this<br />
season on <strong>October</strong> 31 at Premiere<br />
Dance Theatre.<br />
The composers and works<br />
featured were all suppressed by<br />
the German National Socialist<br />
Party in the 1930s, and the music<br />
comprises some important 20thcentury<br />
classics as well as lesser<br />
known repertoire: Karl Amadeus<br />
Hartmann (1905-1963), Ernest<br />
Krenek (1900-1991), Hanns<br />
Eisler (1898-1962). Kurt Weill.<br />

M Just before press time, Leger Hear & Now to Louie learned that Toronto-based ~~ *<br />
composer Alexina Louie has been announced as this year's ~ ~<br />
recipient of the Jules Leger Prize for New Chamber Music. Louie<br />
was chosen for her composition "Nightfall", and as an added bonus<br />
'·' j<br />
~b<br />
'~ s I c<br />
the Esprit Orchestra will conclude their <strong>October</strong> programme with a A A a a A A 0<br />
performance of this prize-winning work. W W W W V W<br />
Founded in 1978, the $7,500 Jules Leger Prize is the most<br />
OCTOBER<strong>1999</strong>CALENDAR<br />
prestigious award for concert music in Canada, and is jointly<br />
coordinated by The Canada Council for the Arts, the Canadian<br />
Music Centre and CBC Radio Music. Past recipients have<br />
included: R. Murray Schafer, Peter Paul Koprowski, Serge Garant,<br />
John Rea, Brian Cherney and Christos Hatzis, among others.<br />
Alexina Louie becomes the first female composer to receive this<br />
distinction in the award's 21-year history.<br />
The jury comprised of composers Harry Freedman and Rodney<br />
Sharman, plus conductor Veronique Lacroix, selected Louie's piece<br />
from a total of 56 entries in the <strong>1999</strong> competition. Dr. Sharman, as<br />
jury chair, described "Nightfall", composed in 1997as a commission<br />
by the I Musici de Montreal for the 25th anniversary of the<br />
Algoma Festival, as a "sensitive, evocative piece for 14 solo<br />
strings", adding that... "the composer creates an atmosphere of<br />
subtly shifting colours -a musical portrait of darkening night."<br />
Alexina Louie is among Canada's most recognized composers,<br />
and her work has been commissioned and performed widely by our<br />
leading orchestras, new music ensembles, chamber groups and<br />
soloists. She was named Composer of the Year in 1986 by the<br />
Canadian Music Council, has been recipient of a JUNO Award for<br />
best classical composition, and was presented with an Honourary<br />
Doctonite from the University of Calgary in 1997.<br />
Paul Hindeniith, and the "Suite<br />
Op. 29" (1923) for seven<br />
instruments by Arnold<br />
Schoenberg.<br />
. The latter, an exceptionally<br />
difficult piece and Schoenberg's<br />
first totally serialist chamber<br />
work, wit! be receiving its firstever<br />
Toronto performance.<br />
This programme in part recreates<br />
a 1938 Dusseldorf concert<br />
at which the National Socialist<br />
Party derided certain composers<br />
as makers of "degenerate music".<br />
(Hartmann was not on that<br />
"infamous" concert, but forbade<br />
his .music to be played under the<br />
Nazi regime.<br />
. Every piece on this programme<br />
has its own dramatic<br />
story. In the case of the<br />
Hindemith Sonata, it was<br />
scheduled for a concert in<br />
December 1936 by Gustav<br />
Scheck (flute) and Walter<br />
Gieseking (piano). The musicians<br />
arrived on the night of the<br />
performance to find the hall had<br />
bec::n closed by Goebbels himself.<br />
"One reason for this concert,"<br />
says artistic director Robert<br />
Aitken, "is the interest that will<br />
be generated by the symposium<br />
on Music and Nazism planned at<br />
York University a few weeks '<br />
prior. This event coincides with<br />
the end of Holocaust remem- ·<br />
brance week. New Music<br />
Concerts is presenting works by<br />
composers who weren't actually<br />
killed but did suffer in other<br />
ways during the War."<br />

to explore this area should read<br />

and Their Music in the Third<br />

The fall season is well and truly<br />
under way. Collages are closed,<br />
school's in and the summer<br />
festival season is replaced by the<br />
fall club and concert schedule.<br />
But, as the old song says- "the<br />
music goes round and round"<br />
and if you want to make the<br />
rounds, there is plenty in store<br />
over the upcoming month.<br />
' The George Weston Recital<br />
·Hall at the Ford Centre certainly<br />
does its share. It sees <strong>October</strong> off<br />
. to a good start with a concert<br />
<strong>October</strong> I, 8:00pm by Chick<br />
Corea, one of the leading<br />
keyboard players and composer/<br />
bandleaders in contemporary<br />
jazz. The following evening,<br />
<strong>October</strong> 2. at 8.00pm. the beat<br />
will be latin as one of the most<br />
popular flautists in jazz, Herbie<br />
Mann takes the stage. In a career<br />
that has spanned over forty years,<br />
Mann helped establish the flute<br />
in jazz, incorporating Latin and<br />
Brazilian influences and winning<br />
13 straight Downbeat Readers'<br />
Polls along the way.<br />
On <strong>October</strong> 23, BlueNote<br />
artist, pianist/vocalist Eliane<br />

more contemporary sound to the<br />
Recital Hall. and finally, <strong>October</strong><br />
29, the same venue will present<br />
singer guitarist John Pizzarelli<br />
and his Trio, with their interpretations<br />
of jazz standards and<br />
great popular songs . It's a case<br />
of 'like father, like son,' with<br />
John following in the footsteps<br />
of his father, the great jazz<br />

Krall at the Hall<br />
Diana Krall is a true Canadian<br />
success story. She is hot, hot, hot<br />
all over the world right now -<br />
her sultry voice, with little hints<br />
of prime Peggy Lee, a very<br />
clever choice of repertoire, which<br />
frequently acknowledges the<br />
influence of Nat Cole, good jazz<br />
feel and pretty good piano<br />
playing. What more do you<br />
want? She will be at Massey Hall<br />
for two nights - <strong>October</strong> 13 and<br />
~ .... r.~iiiuii'l.-... ~1 14 at 8.00pm. Tickets are $35.00,<br />

so well that a third night is being<br />

Ghosts of Glenn<br />
Looking back over the past 50<br />
years, there is no bandleader<br />
better known to the general<br />
public than Glenn Miller. He<br />
disappeared almost 55 years ago<br />
when the single engine plane in<br />
which he was flying from<br />
England to France vanished into<br />
thin air. But the ghost band still<br />
goes on - I am almost tempted to<br />
make some comparison to the<br />
Flying Dutchman - and The<br />
Official Glenn Miller Orchestra<br />
Millennium Tour stops off at<br />
Massey Hall on <strong>October</strong> 23. at<br />

IOOiandStand: If it's<br />
Merlin Williams surveys<br />
the community concert<br />
band scene<br />
I can't imagine how I ever could<br />
have developed as a musician<br />
without the community concert<br />
band.<br />
The bands I played in as a<br />
teenager gave me a place to<br />
refine my playing skills, work on<br />
woodwind doubles, and improve<br />
my sightreading. It was in the ·<br />
town bands where I received my<br />
first exposure to the Holst and<br />
Vaughan-Williams suites, Sousa<br />
and Alford marches, and the<br />
joyous melodies of Broadway .and<br />
Tin-Pan Alley songwriters. In ·<br />
addition to the musical ·knowledge<br />
I gained, I also forged<br />
friendships which last to this· day.<br />
Several friends in the band scene<br />
have commented that they have<br />
difficulty reaching prospective<br />
players in their area. Conversely,<br />
I'm often approached at concerts<br />
by people who express interest in<br />
joining a community band, but<br />
don't know who to approach for<br />
more information. I decided to<br />
compile a list of th~ comrJlunity<br />
bands in the 416/905 area to<br />
provide a resource for these<br />
people.<br />
The bands listed below are<br />
organized by the day of the week<br />
they rehearse, starting with<br />
Monday. Please note that there<br />
are no professional or military<br />
bands listed. Most bands are<br />
open to any new members, but I<br />
have listed instruments that the<br />
bands are particularly in need of.<br />
Many thanks to Vivian Hingsberg<br />
at St. John's Music and John<br />
Kowalchuk, webmaster/assistant<br />

Concert band for their help in<br />

The local look<br />
Let's not overlook the local<br />
scene. As usual, there is an<br />
extensive array of talent in clubs<br />
and concert venues On <strong>October</strong><br />
20 at 7 .30pm there will be a<br />
concert to honour the memory of<br />
Eddie Sossin at Humber CoUege<br />
Auditorium, 3199 Lakeshore<br />
Boulevard West. 675-6622,<br />
extension 3427. Admission is<br />
$10.00 and $5.00 for students.<br />
Eddie was a woodwind player<br />
and co-ordinator of the music<br />
programme at Humber. His<br />
sudden death in May of this year<br />
came as a shock to his many<br />
friends. Proceeds from this<br />
concert will go towards establishing<br />
a Jazz Scholarship.<br />
CJRT's "Sound of Toronto"<br />
Series at the Ontario Science<br />
Centre is back for another solid<br />
season of Canadian jazz programmed,<br />
hosted and subsequently<br />
broadcast by Ted<br />
O'Reilly. On Oct 18 the Archie<br />
Alleyne Orchestra will be<br />
featured. The performance begins<br />
at 8:00 pm and admission is<br />
$8.00. Parking is free.<br />
There you have a sampling of<br />
what is coming up in <strong>October</strong> on<br />
the concert s~ges, but please<br />
don't forget the busy club scene<br />
which is in full swing - and<br />
remember, it is better heard live!<br />
Pause for thought - in this year<br />
of centennial celebration for<br />
Duke Ellington, it is a sobering<br />
realization that Clifford Brown, if<br />
he were still with us, would<br />
celebrate his 69th. birthday this<br />
month and would probably be<br />
still playing. I wonder how<br />
different the course of jazz might<br />
have been.<br />

1.1A music theatre quiz for the fall season<br />
by Sarah B. Hood<br />
With schools reopening and a<br />
new season of music theatre<br />
opening up, I thought it might<br />
be appropriate to offer a quiz<br />
for fans of opera and Broadway,<br />
based on some of the<br />
shows that will be playing<br />
around Toronto in <strong>October</strong>.<br />
You can jog your memory with<br />
our music theatre listings<br />
(although you may not find all<br />
the answers there!) No prizes;<br />
just for fun. Answers on page<br />
32.<br />
* Children are popular performers<br />
in musical comedy, and in<br />
fact two of the shows about to<br />
open in Toronto have titles that<br />
are children's names (both<br />
orphans, actually). Which two?<br />
** What opera has the same<br />
story as a movie starring the<br />
wonderful Greta Garbo?<br />
*** What Broadway musical<br />
was filmed with Marlon Brando<br />
in the romantic lead (and<br />
singing)?<br />
* * lc lc What Toronto opera<br />
company specializes in operas of<br />
the Baroque era, recreating each<br />
performance with period costumes,<br />
movement and vocal style,<br />
and working with musicians who<br />
play on period instruments?<br />
lc lc lc lc lc A few years ago<br />
Camilla Scott came into the<br />
public eye in a George Gershwin<br />
musical that was not by<br />
Gershwin: Crazy for You. The<br />
show was a pastiche, created by<br />
cobbling together some<br />
of Gershwin's hits into a "new"<br />
production. Can you name<br />
another "new" musical by the<br />
great Gershwin?<br />
BONUS QUESTION<br />
This one's really about a non<br />
Toronto production, so I've made<br />
it a bonus question. Producers of<br />
musicals often call in well-known<br />
stars (not necessari.ly from the<br />
world of theatre) to revitalize the<br />
box office. Here in Toronto,<br />
we've watched a series of celebs<br />
don the Phantom's mask to keep<br />
the dollars flowing until the final<br />
performance on Hallowe'en<br />
night. These have included<br />
Quebec pop rocker Rene Simard<br />
and, of course, KISS shock rocker<br />
Paul Stanley. Do. you know what<br />
part Lucy Loveless (better known<br />
as Xena, Warrior Princess),<br />
played on Broadway?<br />

Camille. Both are based on the<br />
French tale La Dame aux<br />
Camilias, a real weeper about a<br />
courtesan who falls in love with a<br />
young man from a respectable<br />
family. When the young man's<br />
father begs her to leave (lest she<br />
ruin the marriage hopes of her<br />
lover's daughter), she disappears<br />
with a broken heart to die of<br />
consumption • which would<br />
probably be called tuberculosis<br />

SINE NOMINE brings medieval music to<br />
modern audiences, enriching the present<br />
with music of the past, and leading those<br />
who experience it to consider the world in<br />
which it was first heard, and the perspective<br />
of those who created it. Our concerts include
vocal and instrumental music from the 10th-<br />
15th centuries, with readings, and, occasionally,<br />
collaborative projects with performers<br />
from other musical traditions. We research<br />
our repertoire and the culture in which it<br />
developed, and approach it from a fresh<br />
often improvisational direction, creating<br />
performances which a medieval audience<br />
would recognise, and a modern audience can<br />
enjoy. Tickets usually $12/$8.<br />
SINE NOMINE's season concerts will be in<br />
December, March, and May - contact us for<br />
details. This fall: "Music of Medieval<br />
Nunneries" in the TEMC/ROM series,<br />
<strong>October</strong> I 0 at 2:30, and a programme<br />
exploring the intersection of the medieval<br />
and traditional spheres of music at the<br />
Music Gallery, November 3.<br />

Celebrating its TENTH season, the Toronto<br />
Camerata invites you to a free Open House on<br />
<strong>October</strong> 2 at 7:30 pm (25 Wanless Ave). You<br />
will meet our new Director, Melva Treflinger<br />
Graham and be introduced to a mixed chorus<br />
specializing in a cappella music.<br />
The chorus was founded in 1990 by Arthur<br />
Wenk, to resemble the 17111 century Florentine<br />
Camerata, that explored the relationship<br />
between poetry and music.<br />
The Toronto Camerata's vision is to foster the<br />
appreciation of unaccompanied choral music<br />
through concerts, broadcasts and recordings.<br />

concert schedules, available CD recordings,<br />

how to join us.<br />
Ms. Graham says, "the experience of singing<br />
together with only the sound of the voices is<br />
an intimate and inspiring one. It gets us<br />
inside the music, and teaches us about each<br />
other. Once you've tried it, you'll be<br />
hooked!"<br />

John Beckwith byDavidOlds.<br />
On Saturday <strong>October</strong> 30 Walter Hall at the University of Toronto<br />
will be the setting for a concert celebrating half a century of vocal<br />
writing by one of this country s most eminent composers and a<br />
familiar presence on Toronto$ music scene, John Beckwith.<br />
Mr. Beckwith has enjoyed a long and distinguished relationship<br />
with U of T. He did his own degr-::es there, and went on to teach<br />
several generations of musicians during a tenure of nearly four<br />
decades. He served as dean of the Faculty of Music through most of<br />
the 1970s and was the founding director of the Institute for Canadian<br />
Music, established at the U of T in 1984.<br />
Since retiring professor emeritus in 1990, Beckwith has kept<br />
his hand in at the university, teaching occasional score study courses<br />
for the students in the orchestral conducting program. He has also<br />
continued his scholarly activities, publishing the book Music at<br />
Toronto A Personal Account and editing Hymn Tunes of Canada and<br />
Oratorio and Cantata Excerpts <strong>Volume</strong>s 5 and 18 respectively of<br />
The Canadian Musical Heritage for the Canadian Musical Heritage<br />
Society. In 1997 a compact disc of Beckwith's instrumental music<br />
was released on the Canadian Music Centre's Centrediscs label.<br />
Retirement has meant more time for composing and<br />
Beckwith has taken full advantage of this. Works which have flowed<br />
from his pen since leaving the hallowed halls include Round and<br />
Round, an orchestral work commissioned by the Winnipeg Symphony<br />
Orchestra in conjunction with the Victoria Symphony and the<br />
Hamilton Philharmonic and performed by all three organizations,<br />
orchestral arrangements of organ chorales by Johann Sebastian<br />
Bach, all 45 of which have been performed by Symphony Nova<br />
Scotia under Georg Tintner's direction, several works for harpsichord<br />
in unusual pairings with banjo and Celtic harp, vocal works<br />
on texts by Margaret Laurence and bpNichol, Canadian folksong<br />
arrangements from a variety of ethnic sources, and Taptoo!, an opera<br />
which was premiered in Montreal last March by Opera McGill.<br />
Taptoo! marks Beckwith's 15th collaboration with librettist<br />
James Reaney, a relationship which grew out of a mutual interest in<br />
theatre while they were both students at U ofT. This most recent<br />
work serves as a sequel to the chamber opera Serinette which<br />
Reaney wrote with the late Harry Somers. The <strong>October</strong> 30th concert<br />
features a duet from Taptoo!, The Great Lakes Suite, a 1949 vocal<br />
chamber work which was the first Reaney/Beckwith co-production,<br />
and selections from two other operatic co-creations The Shivaree<br />
and Crazy to Kill. The concert will also include Beckwith's settings<br />
of the words of Chaucer, Keats and e. e. cummings.<br />
Vocal music has been an ongoing interest for John B11ckwith<br />
throughout his long and varied career. When asked about this he<br />
explained that as a child he had been quite a good singer himself<br />
and had been the head of a choir. An accomplished pianist, at<br />
university he was able to support himself as a vocal accompanist for<br />
the students of the respected contralto Eileen Law. Working with<br />
singers at lessons and in recital gave him an inside knowledge and<br />
appreciation of the vocal repertoire and an understanding of how<br />
singers work. His first compositions were vocal, and it is a form to<br />
which he has often returned. This is reflected in the program of the<br />
Walter Hall concert with works spanning five decades. Some of<br />
Toronto's finest singers are taking part in the presentation, including<br />
Benjamin Butterfield, Teri Dunn, Laura Pudwell, Kathryn Domoney<br />
and Doug McNaughton, joined by a variety of instrumentalists,<br />
including the composer himself at the piano.<br />
Beckwith says he has enjoyed getting back to the piano in a<br />
serious way. He has been performing with his son Lawrence, an<br />
accomplished baroque violinist, and has found satisfaction in having<br />
time to "polish" rather than just play the music. Toronto audiences<br />
will have another opportunity to hear his keyboard skills at the Art<br />
Gallery of Ontario in January and February. Beckwith will be part of<br />
an ensemble that will perform his arrangements of Music of<br />
Krieghoff's Quebec presented in conjunction with the AGO's Year<br />
2000 Cornelius Krieghoff exhibit. Stay tuned to WholeNote for full<br />
details.<br />
