"Songs to the Moon" by Canadian trumpeter Merrie Klazek is a<br />
wonderful collection of songs and arias transcribed for trumpet<br />
and piano. Melodies by de Falla, Rachmaninoff, Donizetti and<br />
others are beautifUlly and sensitively played by Merrie Klazek,<br />
accomp_anied on piano by jenniferSnow. Merrie shows<br />
that the trumpet can be a gentle and tender instrument.<br />
full of warmth and depth, conveying an emotional range rarely<br />
heard on the instrument. "Merrie Klazek- Songs to the Moon"<br />
should be a welcome revelation to music lovers everywhere.<br />
uMerrie Kla.zek- Songs to the Moon"<br />
on Phoenix Records is available at record stores across Canada.<br />

Mendelssohn<br />
continued from page 6<br />
contact with Jacques just last year when he<br />
conducted the choir with orchestra in a<br />
perfonnance here ofCarmina Burana with<br />
Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. I was very<br />
impressed with his work not only with the<br />
singers, but also with the orchestra. He was<br />
Dutoit's assistant in Montreal, you know, and<br />
now has his own orchestra in France. He's a<br />
remarkable and exciting talent. Part of my<br />
mandate is to bring in guest conductors, the<br />
way orchestras do."<br />
He's also enthusiastic about his soloists.<br />
"Judith Forst is not often thought of as being<br />
a choral soloist. She is one of Canada's great<br />
opera singers as well as a great person. It will<br />
be a real boost to us as well as to the<br />
audience having her with us. Linda Maguire<br />
(pictured on our cover) did the title role in<br />
Florence, the opera we did a few years ago in<br />
Elora, so I know her well and know just how<br />
good she is with contemporary music. Also<br />
she is a high mezzo, which makes her a<br />
perfect match for this particular part."<br />
Edison had to think long and hard<br />
about the choice of soloists for this concert.<br />
"For one thing, they each have to make their<br />
own individual claim on their parts and they<br />
have to hold their own against a huge<br />
orchestra, with a Jot ofbmss, harp, piano and<br />
organ. All five soloists have what it takes to<br />
do this."<br />
THE CHALLENGE OF 11 SELUNG NEW 11<br />
Hoping to get him to conunent on the<br />
challenges of progrruruning new music in<br />
Toronto, I remind him of the TSO/<br />
Gurrelieder contretemps at the beginning of<br />
the season. (Jukka Pekka Saraste, as I<br />
w1derstood it, wanted to open tllis season<br />
witl1 Ben Heppner and Jeru1ifer Lannore in<br />
Schoenberg's Gurrelieder, which Heppner<br />
was also doing with the Pittsburgh Symphony<br />
as tl1eir season opener. l11e TSO, worried<br />
about sales, opted instead for a sort of pops<br />
concert opener with Kathleen Battle, which<br />
·didn't sell very well. Meanwhile in Pittsburgh<br />
the Gurrelieder concert sold out, witll<br />
people lined up in the street to get tickets.)<br />
"l11e Penderccki Credo has sold out in<br />
Europe but you don't seem to expect it to sell<br />
out here", I ask. "Is there a problem "selling"<br />
new music, even great new music, in<br />
Toronto?"<br />
"Well tl1e T.S.O. is bringing back Gurre/ieder<br />
next season" he replies. "It is wonderful<br />
stuff, fabulous - it is early Schoenberg, very<br />
melodic, before he went atonal, and it will go<br />
over very well, it will be. an event."<br />
2Mi P*AQAW4W&4&01F<br />
But big choral works, he says, are another<br />
matter. "A colleague of mine in New York<br />
says that for most people there are only three<br />
works for choir -Messiah, Carmina Burana<br />
and Beetlloven's Ninth. '1 suppose you could<br />
add Brahms' and Verdi's Requiems and<br />
Mendelssohn'sElijah, but the point is, it is<br />
quite a small nwnber of pieces for choir to<br />
wllich audiences will come out in droves."<br />
"And here, we are presenting one<br />
piece that is only two years old, and a new<br />
cmrunission. People are much more inclined<br />
to get excited about that sort of tiling in<br />
Europe. In Toronto we are caught between<br />
our yearnings for England and our hopes for<br />
America, which make for a ldnd of hesitancy."<br />
"As artists, even, we tend to stay in<br />
groups, an alanning protectionism as we<br />
compete for the lion;s share of tile corporate<br />
and govenunent money and of the public's<br />
support. It would be good if we could !cam to<br />
support one another more."<br />
He looks grin! for a second, but only a<br />
second. "Things are gradually changing" he<br />
says. There are significant nwnbers of very<br />
musically cultured people here who, wrule<br />
they like the "chestnuts" are also interested<br />
in hearing new works.<br />
For them, he vows, <strong>March</strong> 7 will be<br />
as exciting and rewarding a concert as it will<br />
be for the perfonners t11emselves.<br />

Camps, Retreats and Vacations<br />
- Learning Music this Summer<br />
There are two kinds of people: those who sit down in the month of <strong>March</strong> with maps and travel brochures and make their<br />
summer vacation plans far in advance; and those who don't. For you in the first group, we present our third annual roundup of<br />
summer music learning: summer camps, family programs, conservatory-level summer academies, adult education programs<br />
and music tours. Now is the time to select your children's music camp, fit the family vacation time around music lessons, or<br />
choose a retreat where you can polish your technique.<br />
Programs are grouped by age level. Some programs are only for children, some are geared at seniors. The "All Ages" category<br />
means a program offers courses for students of many ages, but not that each course is open to everyone. "Children and Youth"<br />
programs are mainly for those 18 and under. "Young Musicians" are musicians young in experience, but not necessarily age.<br />
The World Wide Web is rapidly becoming the fastest way to get complete and up-to-date program information for these<br />
programs. When available, web sites are given first, followed by postal address, phone, and e-mail.<br />
We have done what we can to ensure information is correct and current at time of publication. Please confirm all details<br />
including program contents, entrance requirements, deadlines, and prices with the individual organizations. A program's<br />
presence on the list does not imply an endorsement by WholeNote.<br />
All Ages<br />
The Royal Conservatory of Music bas perhaps the most comprehensive and varied selection of music courses in Ontario,<br />
for students of all ages at bt:ginm:r, iut~::nm:tliale, and advanced levels. The RCM runs its Summer Never Sounded So<br />
Good program between July 4 and August 11 on its downtown Toronto and Mississauga campuses. RCM offers private lessons<br />
for all ages and levels, and a six-week condensed Theory Class (July through early August) in preparation for the RCM exam.<br />
Call RCM to confirm this year's schedule. Courses designed especially for children in past years have included Music with<br />
Your Baby (6 months to 3 years), Preparatory Music for 3 year olds accompanied by a caregiver, Eurythmics (3 to 5),<br />
Summer Suzuki Plus (3+ ), and Keyboards and Computers for 6 to 10 year olds with up to 2 years of piano.<br />
Recent adult programs have included introductory courses like An Introduction to Singing and Guitar from Scratch,<br />
as well as Recorder Ensembles, Baroque Ensembles, and Composition. Music teachers have enhanced their<br />
professional skills ·with courses like Piano Pedagogy, 0&-ff Schulwerk, Kodaly Level II, Technology for Music<br />
Teachers, and Early Childhood Music Education.<br />

The Centuries Opera Association<br />
Swruner Opera Workshop gives<br />
young singers a chance to perform in the<br />
theatre. "Young" singers are young in<br />
experience and are of all ages. "They're<br />
people who have talent, but who have<br />
never had a chance to perform before,"<br />
COA director Michele Strano says. "A 40-<br />
year-old can be a young singer." COA<br />
produces complete operas from the<br />
standard repertoire in full costume and<br />
staging. This year Centuries is producing<br />
Gluck's Orfeo e Eurydice and Donizetti's<br />
Don Pasquale. "These are the roles that<br />
young singers should learn to put into<br />
action in the future," Strano explains.<br />
Performances will be staged at the Leah<br />
Posluns Theatre.<br />
The program costs vary depending on<br />
the complexity of the role, vocal coaching<br />
requirements, and costumes. Training<br />
runs from June 12 to August 27. Auditions<br />
have already begun: call Michele Strano<br />

Sinfonla Toronto<br />
Margaret Chasins, spokesperson<br />
for Sinfonia Toronto tells us that<br />
the new chamber orchestra's first<br />
season has been an artistic and<br />
box office success. Artistic<br />
director, Nurhan Annan, is well<br />
into planning next year's series,<br />
in addition to which the orchestra<br />
will be performing at least one<br />
private function and will give a<br />
concert in Barrie as well. Next<br />

T.S.O. percussionist, David<br />
Kent, organizer of the series,<br />

that all the concerts so far<br />
have sold out, all have been<br />
broadcast on the CBC, tl1at all<br />
the daily newspapers' senior<br />
critics have attended and written<br />
reviews and tl1at the series has<br />
been lucky to receive some good<br />
corporate sponsorships. He<br />
attributes fuis success to tl1e<br />
standard of the playing and tl1e<br />
uniqueness of combining tl1e best<br />
local musicians with outstanding<br />
international talent (somethlng<br />
which another highly successful<br />
ensemble, Amici, has been<br />
doing for some time). Next<br />

by composers such as Heinrich<br />
Isaac, Ludwig Senfl, Heinrich<br />

Adam von Fulda, who were all<br />
employed at the court of<br />
Maximilian I, a great patron of<br />
music and ruler of the Holy<br />
Roman Empire from 1493 to<br />
1519. Pi !Taro models itself on<br />
tl1e wind players who performed<br />
the music of tlle time for religious,<br />
ceremonial and festive occasions<br />
and were known as<br />
"Stadtpfeiffer", "town pipers".<br />
1l1e six members ofPiffaro, like<br />
tl1eir 15th & 16th century predecessors,<br />

by Mack Ramsey, who, though not<br />
a regular member of Piffaro, is a<br />
specialist in early brass instruments<br />

The Ford Centre Situation<br />
There's a lot of entirely<br />
laudable steaming and<br />
stewing going on downtown<br />
about opera houses past and<br />
present. Danger is, that<br />
another culturally important<br />
battle will be fought and lost<br />
at City Hall, before we even<br />
notice.<br />
In a city with more<br />
than its share of acoustically<br />
imperfect concert halls, the<br />
George Weston Recital Hall,<br />
praised for its wonderful<br />
acoustics by audiences and<br />
performers alike, has been a<br />
real treasure for the thousands<br />
of patrons who have<br />
passed through its doors since<br />
its opening in 1993. Many of<br />
the artists who have performed<br />
on its stage were brought there as<br />
part of the Concert Season of the<br />
Ford Centre for the Perfonning<br />
Arts, organized and administered<br />
by Liven! Inc. until its collapse in<br />
the fall of 1998, at which point Ute<br />
City of Toronto took over its<br />
operation.<br />

Toronto is blessed with many fine clarinettists, and Stephen<br />
Fox is definitely one of that number. His playing with<br />
Orchestra Toronto (co-principal clarinet & saxes) and the<br />
Riverdale Ensemble is wonderful, but there is one thing that<br />
Fox does that sets him apart from all the other clarinet<br />
players in this city. Stephen Fox makes his own instruments.<br />
Stephen's interest in the clarinet<br />
started in tenth grade in 'Saskatchewan.<br />
At the time, he<br />
wanted to take up the oboe, but<br />
ended up with the clarinet<br />
instead. He says he's never<br />
regretted it, and loves the<br />
flexibility of the clarinet.<br />
While at the University of<br />
Saskatchewan Stephen played in<br />
the concert band, and later the<br />
Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra.<br />
After completing his Masters in<br />
Theoretical Plasma Physics, he<br />
did a Bachelors in Clarinet<br />
Perfonnance.<br />
Stephen started doing instrument<br />
repairs in 1985 in Saskatchewan.<br />
Upon moving to Toronto in 1987,<br />
he started working on custom<br />
keywork, major alterations and<br />
individual ttming of clarinets.<br />
The high quality of his work<br />
started to attract clients from<br />
across Canada, the United States<br />
and Europe.<br />
In 1990, Steve started making<br />
complete instruments. To date,<br />
he's made about twenty-five<br />
complete clarinets, plus a number<br />
of bassett joints (to extend the<br />
clarinet range for the Mozart<br />
concerto) and bass clarinet<br />
extensions. In addition to tl1e<br />
standard Bb and A clarinets, tl1e<br />
S. Fox line includes Eb & C<br />
clarinets, bassett horns, and<br />
period clarinets. Steve's<br />
instnuuents can also be ordered<br />
with three different bore stylesthe<br />
brighter French type, the dark<br />
Gennan bore, and a newer design<br />
based on the principles of<br />
acoustician Artlmr Benade. If<br />
that weren't enough in the way of<br />
variety, the clarinets are also<br />
available in several different<br />
woods. Steve has used grenadilla<br />
(African blackwood, the standard<br />
clarinet material), rosewood,<br />
cocobolo (a strikingly grained<br />
hardwood) and boxwood.<br />
Despite all of the variety, the<br />
prices ofS. Fox clarinets are<br />
comparable to those of the big<br />
clarinet manufacturers. It's<br />
actually quite a bargain when you<br />
factor in the time Steve spends<br />
personally tuning and play testing<br />
each clarinet.<br />
Fox clarinets have attracted a<br />
wide variety of players. The best<br />
known of these is probably TSO<br />
principal clarinettist Joaquin<br />
Valdepenas. Valdepenas uses an<br />
S. Fox clarinet on a soon-to-be<br />
released Amici CD. He also uses<br />
his Gennan bore S. Fox instrument<br />
for some of his work with<br />
the symphony. Other notable<br />
players of Steve's instruments<br />
include Don Pierre, the clarinettist<br />
and leader of the Glenn<br />
Miller Orchestra (Canada), and<br />
Kurt Bjorling, of the klezmer<br />
group "Brave Old World".<br />
Stephen Pierre, principal<br />
clarinettist of tl1e Hamilton<br />
Philharmonic has a bassett joint,<br />
and has perfonned on Fox's own<br />
personal boxwood period<br />
clarinet.<br />
If all of that wasn't enough,<br />
Stephen also spends about three<br />
months each year teaching<br />
instrument making at the Musikk<br />
Instrument Akademiet in Norway.<br />
Steve can be heard playing with<br />
the Riverdale Ensemble, with<br />
pianist Ellen Meyer and violinist<br />
Daniel Kushner, on <strong>March</strong> 5 at<br />
the McMichael Gallery in<br />
Kleinburg. ll1e concert starts at<br />
I :30 pm, and is free with gallery<br />
admission. If you miss that, keep<br />
an eye out for the forthcoming<br />
CD by the Riverdale Ensemble<br />
on the Furiant label.

Dr. Elmer Iseler, who regularly championed new<br />
compositions by Canadian composers, we will be<br />
premiering two major new works in this concert. Both<br />
works are dedicated to the memory of our founderconductor,<br />
and the Hatzis has been commissioned<br />
through grants from Musicanada <strong>2000</strong> and the<br />
Canada Council. For this concert we will join forces<br />
with the Rosedale United Church Choir and Rosedale<br />
Concerts, an exciting new professional concert organization<br />
under the direction of Wayne Strongman,<br />
Artistic Director of Tapestry New Opera Works.<br />

Toronto's contemporary music calendar<br />
by David G. H. Parsons<br />
Hear & Now opens with some<br />
sad news for the entire Canadian<br />
new music community. Two of<br />
our most prominent senior<br />
women composers passed away<br />
last month - Barbara Pentland,<br />
O.C. (at age 87 on February 5),<br />
and Violet Archer, O.C. (at age<br />
86 on February 21).<br />
A champion of modemist<br />
teclmiques in Canadian music<br />
and a fascinating and engaging<br />
individual, Barbara Pentland was<br />
bom in Wiimipeg, studied in<br />
Montreal, Tanglewood and New<br />
York, and had Hindemith and<br />
Copland among her teachers.<br />
Pentland's works are<br />
typified by a marvelous economy<br />
of material, employment of<br />
serialist teclmiques, and an<br />
austerity that is reminiscent of<br />
the music of Anton Webem (a<br />
composer whom she greatly<br />
admired). A number of her later<br />
pieces were inspired by a concem<br />
about larger political and social<br />
issues, including the need for<br />
protecting our natural environment.<br />
Pentland taught at the<br />
University of British Columbia<br />
from 1949-1963, received the<br />
Dip lome d'hotmeur ( 1977), two<br />
honourary doctorates, and the<br />
Order of Canada. New Music<br />
Concerts will pay tribute to<br />
Barbara Pentland on May 14,<br />
when Robert Aitken and Erica<br />
Goodman add "Trance" for flute<br />
and harp to t11at society's next<br />
Toronto programme.<br />
Violet Archer, an<br />
incredibly prolific artist, wrote<br />
more than 252 works in virtually<br />
all media. Among her distinguished<br />
teachers were Claude<br />
Champagne, Bartok and<br />
Hindemith, and she earned her<br />
Masters Degree from Yale.<br />
Archer was composer-inresidence<br />
at North Texas State<br />
College and taught at several<br />
American universities, before<br />
moving to the University of<br />
Alberta in 1962 where she taught<br />
until her retirement in 1978.<br />
Described as "a master of<br />
complex dissonant counterpoint,"<br />
Archer was also often inspired by<br />
simple folk materials, showing<br />
the lasting influences of her<br />
teachers. She had a particular<br />
enthusiasm for creating high<br />
quality music for children to play.<br />
Among her many awards were<br />
three honourary doctorates and<br />
the Order of Canada. In 1987 the<br />
Prairie Region of the Canadian<br />
Music Centre named the Violet<br />
Archer Library in her honour.<br />
Both these women will be<br />
greatly missed by their munerous<br />
friends, students and musical<br />
colleagues.<br />
"Mystery & Majesty" is the<br />
combined effect when the<br />
Victoria Scholars and the Elora<br />
Festival Singers combine under<br />
the direction of Noel Edison for a<br />
programme of spiritually inspired<br />
music on <strong>March</strong> 5. Featured is<br />
the Canadian premiere of Jolm<br />
Tavener's "llumder Entered<br />
Her", Charles Marie Widor's<br />
"Messe pour deux choeurs et<br />
deux orgues", plus works by<br />
Durufle, Arvo Part and some<br />
Gregorian chant. A highlight<br />
will be the world premiere of a<br />
new choral work from Christos<br />
Hatzis.<br />
On <strong>March</strong> 7, Music<br />
Toronto showcases pianist Eve<br />
Egoyan. TI1is outstanding<br />
exponent of 20th century music<br />
has chosen composers Alvin<br />
Curran (UK), Michael Finnissy<br />
(USA), Michael Longton and<br />
Linda C. Smith (CAN), as well<br />
as pieces by Erik Satie and<br />
Alexander Scriabin. ll1ere will<br />
also be a world premiere by
'""<br />
penRFW66%5i<br />
Toronto composer James Rolfe.<br />
Several of the works<br />
selected for this concert appear<br />
on her new CD, "the things in<br />
between" [ART 019], a recording<br />
that has been making big soWld<br />
waves in the music world ever<br />
since its laWlch at BRAVO in<br />
October last year. Egoyan is a<br />
master of pianistic nuance and<br />
explores the full possibilities of<br />
her instrument's shading and<br />
colour in" ... intriguing, often<br />
unfamiliar, and magical ways."<br />
This is a concert not to be<br />
missed.<br />
As periodically occurs, however,<br />
the available choices on <strong>March</strong> 7<br />
will be tough for new music fans,<br />
from the introspection of solo<br />
piano to the massive sonorities of<br />
chorus and orchestra. In the latter<br />
category, the Toronto<br />
Mendelssohn Choir is giving the<br />
Canadian premiere of Krzystof<br />
Penderecki's recent "Credo"<br />
(involving double chorus, soloists<br />
and extensive percussion forces).<br />
The concert also has Glenn<br />
Buhr's "Gloria" (commissioned<br />
by the choir). Buhr will discuss<br />
his work during a pre-concert<br />
chat with CBC Radio's Rick<br />
Phillips. The stellar line-up<br />
includes Meredith Hall and<br />
Hemiette Schellenberg, sopranos;<br />
Linda Maguire and Judith Forst,<br />
mezzos; Robert Pomakov,<br />
baritone; with Jacques Lacombe<br />
and Noel Edison both conducting.<br />
The Hannaford Street Silver<br />
Band explores Japan on <strong>March</strong><br />
12. Its aftemoon concert of<br />
contemporary brass music, with<br />
guest euphonium soloist<br />
Shoichiro Hokozono, at the Jane<br />
Mallett Theatre, includes pieces<br />
by a number of Japanese composers.<br />
Programmed are a munber<br />
of works that have not been heard<br />
in Toronto before- h1agki,<br />
"Tirree Japru1ese Folk Songs";<br />
Tsuken, "Legend for Euphonium";<br />
Takemitsu, "In The<br />
Garden Rain"; and Ellerby, "New<br />
World Dances".<br />
That same evening<br />
(<strong>March</strong> 12) you can head over to<br />
Trinity Square for the latest in<br />
the engaging informal series<br />
"Salon des Refuses". This<br />
installment features selected art<br />
songs by Toronto composers<br />
Gerald Berg and Colin Eatock,<br />
among others.<br />
The Toronto String Quartet,<br />
one of Music Toronto's resident<br />
ensembles, performs again on<br />
<strong>March</strong> 21. A progrrumne of<br />
quartets by Mozart and Verdi is<br />
enlivened by the Toronto<br />
premiere of"Quantum Mechrulics"<br />
by Jeffrey Ryan, popular<br />
composer-advisor with Music<br />
Toronto and host of their<br />
"Contemporary Classics" series.<br />
While it will be the first time<br />
local audiences will have a<br />
chance to hear this strong new<br />
work in its entirety, a portion was<br />
presented last month at the du<br />
Maurier Theatre as a "teaser".<br />
Its energy, technical demands,<br />
ru1d clever structure (the piece is<br />
based on physics, containing<br />
musical interpretations of such<br />
reactions as fission and fusion)<br />
should make it a hit with<br />
chamber music audiences.<br />
Science buffs take special note!<br />
On <strong>March</strong> 24, the Esprit<br />
Orchestra presents the third<br />
concert of the season, exploring<br />
ail ongoing theme of music either<br />
inspired by, or composed in, the<br />
Far East. Works on the prograiiUne<br />
include Maki Ishii's<br />
"Concertante" for solo marimba<br />
ru1d six percussionists (Canadian<br />
premiere), ru1d Jose Evangelista's<br />
"Alap & Gat" - inspired by<br />
North h1dian musical fonns.<br />
"Jose has been strongly<br />
influenced by Asian cultures, and<br />
this 1998 composition is no<br />
exception, plus it's an extremely<br />
channing work as well," says<br />
Esprit's artistic director Alex<br />
Pauk. "We've done some<br />
fantastic, electric larger orchestral<br />
pieces by Maki Ishii in ti1e<br />
past, and I believe I've fow1d a<br />
work on a smaller scale that<br />
canies the srune pw1ch. It's also<br />
a tour-de-force for marimba<br />
soloist Ryru1 Scott," he adds.<br />
Pauk stresses his enthusiasm for<br />
Ishii, and it should continue over<br />
ti1e next two seasons with more<br />
of his orchestral music being<br />
programmed.<br />
"Pulau dewata", Claude<br />
Vivier's most widely perfonned<br />
piece, has a flexible instnunentation,<br />
existing in several versions.<br />
Esprit will be playing ti1e<br />
arrangement ·by Jolm Rea. "An<br />
emphasis in titese selections,<br />
including ti1e Vivier," says Pauk,<br />
"is the idea that Esprit maintains<br />
relationships with composers,<br />
introduces different works by<br />
ti1em, ru1d gives repeat perfonnances."<br />
On April2, it is possible to spend<br />
a whole day immersed in 20th<br />
century choral music. At 3pm,<br />

materials from hts native land.<br />
His oeuvre encompasses many<br />
genres, including three symphonies,<br />
choral works, and numerous<br />
accordion pieces. Also on the<br />
programme is Jolm Rutter's<br />
"Gloria".<br />

A mixed bag ofjazz can be found<br />
in town this month, ranging from<br />
classic traditional jazz to the<br />
avant-garde.<br />

Centre Concert this month,<br />
Monday <strong>March</strong> 6 with tl1e Bob<br />
Brough/Stan Fomin Q uartet.<br />
Stylistically it falls somewhere in<br />
the middle range of that series.<br />
Long-time jazz fans will surely<br />
recognise tl1e name of Bob<br />
Brough. He has been an active<br />
member of the Toronto scene for<br />
many years, is a wonderful<br />
saxophone player and a deeply<br />
committed musician. His partner<br />
in tl1is quartet is newer on the<br />
scene and perhaps less well<br />
known, but he and Bobby have<br />
been working togetl1er now for<br />
some time. Ontario Science<br />
Centre Auditorium, 770 Don<br />
Mills Road, 416-595-0404.<br />
Admission is $8.00, parking free.<br />
<strong>March</strong> 4 at 8pm, Toronto's<br />
ues with its Encounters <strong>2000</strong><br />
· series on April 5 once again<br />
pairing the works of a Canadian<br />
and an international composer on<br />
tl1e same concert. Artistic<br />
director Lawrence Cherney has<br />
tl1is time selected Canadian<br />
Jeffrey Ryan and Norwegian Rolf<br />
Wallin.<br />
"Both t11ese composers<br />
are at siinilar stages of their<br />
careers, " says Cherney. "Judging<br />
from the pieces I've heard,<br />
Jeff is a highly skilled craftsman<br />
and I have the sense of a very<br />
thoughtful composer. While there<br />
is a lot on the surface to attract<br />
t11e ear, he is also a creator of<br />
great depth."<br />
Cherney discovered<br />
Wallin when that composer won<br />
tl1e International Rostrum of<br />
Composers last year with<br />
"Ground" tor solo cello and 18<br />
divisi strings. "While there is a<br />
big intellect here and lots of<br />
theory behind his work, Wallin's<br />
music also operates at a very<br />
visceral level," says Cherney. As<br />
an added attraction, Rolf Wallin<br />
will perfonn wearing the<br />
"controller suit" which he<br />
developed at IRCAM, an actual<br />
suit of clotl1ing c01mected to an<br />
interactive computer and<br />
generating electroacoustics.<br />
Soloists include Erica<br />
Goodman, (harp), Beverley<br />
Jolmston (percussion), Shaw1a<br />
Rolston (cello) and the Encounters<br />
Ensemble will be led by<br />
conductor Gary Kulesha.<br />
And, the Canadian Opera<br />
Company mounts several<br />
performances of an early .20~century<br />
masterpiece, begmnmg<br />
on April 7. Claude Debussy's .<br />
"Pelleas et Melisande" ( 1902) ts<br />
perhaps the landmark achievement<br />
of the French composer's<br />
career. An impressionistic stage<br />
work that has been described as<br />
"Wagnerianism in French dre~s",<br />
"Pelleas" is haunting, mystenous,<br />
largely devoid of action and yet<br />
strangely mesmerizing. Many<br />
opera fans regard it as one of the<br />
fmest creations in the genre.<br />
Although composed a century ago<br />
- and certainly no longer "new<br />
music" - this is still a unique<br />
opera with no real stylistic<br />
successor in the literature. Don't<br />
pass up this "one of a kind"<br />
operatic experience.<br />

Back in June of last year I raised<br />
the question of jazz venues and<br />
the "respectability" jazz aspired<br />
to when it was presented in, let's<br />
say Carnegie Hall, as opposed to<br />
Eddie Condon's or The Village<br />
Vanguard. For example, is a jazz<br />
performance at the Montreal<br />
Bistro by Junior Mance any less<br />
valid than a concert hall perfonnance<br />
by Cyrus Chestnut? TI1e<br />
earlier social prejudices against<br />
jazz and jazz musicians have all<br />
but disappeared. Most of my<br />
fellow jazz musicians are, as the<br />
time-honoured phrase goes,<br />
"decent, law-abiding citizens",<br />
and all of them sound at least as<br />
good in a conducive club setting<br />
as they do in a concert hall. I<br />
have seen the Basie band play in<br />
concert and I've seen them play<br />
for a dance. I think they had more<br />
fun at the dance. If you have any<br />
thoughts on the matter, please<br />
send them to me at WholeNote.<br />
In the meantime remember that<br />
music is best enjoyed live, be it<br />
in a concert hall or in a club.<br />
About a year ago, I presented<br />
Travel! in' Light, a series of six<br />
radio progranunes on CBC Radio<br />
2. Well, things are so bad at CBC<br />
these days that they have decided<br />
to give me another series. Each<br />
week I take a trip into my<br />
personal time warp and share<br />
some music, some anecdotes,<br />
some memories and insight into<br />
the jazz life. It airs on Fridays,<br />
begim1ing <strong>March</strong> 3 at I Opm. Give<br />
it a listen, because if I b1unp into you<br />
on the street, I'll ask questions!<br />

TI1e Hannaford Street Silver<br />

with the Hamilton Philharmonic<br />
Orchestra on <strong>March</strong> 10.<br />
TI1e combined group will perfonn<br />
music for orchestra and brass<br />
band, including the 1812<br />
Overture. TI1e second concert is<br />
on <strong>March</strong> 12, and it features the<br />
HSSB playing music by Japanese<br />
composers. The band has two<br />
guests for this concert - euphonium<br />
soloist Shoichiro Hokazono,<br />
and conductor James Curnow.<br />
Curnow's name will be familiar<br />
to many band aficionados. He's a<br />
prolific composer and arranger<br />
for concert, symphonic and brass<br />
bands, as well as being the owner<br />
of the music publishing company<br />
that bears his name. (See <strong>March</strong><br />

opera. The composer of such<br />

Giacomo Puccini was bom in<br />
1858 and died in 1924, during<br />
which time he wrote twelve<br />
operas. His frrst success was<br />
Manon Lescaut, and he followed<br />
it with such durable standards as<br />
Madam Butterfly and Tosca. But<br />
one of his most popular works,<br />
and one of the two or Utree best<br />

I wear: run I truly Marguerite?"<br />
and so on). A standard showpiece<br />
for sopranos, Ute aria is<br />
smtg by Ute innocent and virtuous<br />
Marguerite as she tries on a<br />
casket of jewelry left behind by<br />
Ute devilish Mephistopheles.<br />
If, like me, you've been curious<br />
about the piece since you fll'St<br />
encountered Madame Castafiore<br />
rutd her terrifyingly powerful<br />
voice, you can see the entire<br />
opera as perfonned by Opera<br />
Ontario between April! and 14<br />
in one of two back-to-back runs<br />
at Hrunilton Place and The<br />
Centre in Ute<br />

A fmal note: Quite a different<br />
kind of musical Uteatre is coming<br />
to the Batlturst Street Theatre<br />
from <strong>March</strong> 10 to April 9 as Ute<br />
Georgian Theatre Festival<br />
presents a new production of<br />
Godspell. Perhaps not as well<br />
known as the oUter musical about<br />
Jesus Christ (Andrew Lloyd<br />
Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar),<br />
it's also less earnest, and<br />
includes some lovely songs based<br />
on scriptural passages. A few,<br />
like "Day by Day", are occasionally<br />
played on the radio, but none<br />
of them ever became real hits.<br />
Nonetlteless, the show is well<br />
worth seeing.<br />
"Suzuki"<br />
Cast includes<br />
Leo Enson, Frank Hawkins<br />
Keith Addison, Linda Marcinkus<br />

Jhln October and November<br />
1 audiences in Dallas, Texas had<br />
the opportunity to experience<br />
her unique amalgam of vocal<br />
e.artistry and real life experience<br />
in her performances of<br />
' Mozart's La Clemenza di Tiro,<br />
J in which she sang the part of<br />
·e Vitellia, sharing the stage with<br />
:. American superstar, Frederika<br />
von Stade. The critics were<br />
enthusiastic: "Superb work by<br />
the entire cast went into this<br />
triumph, but the star of the<br />
ovening was soprano linda<br />
Maguire as Vitellia .... "<br />
On <strong>March</strong> 7 Maguire will join<br />
four other soloists, Judith<br />
Forst, Henriette Schellenberg,<br />
Gary Rideout and Robert<br />
Pomakov in the Toronto<br />
Mendelssohn Choir's performance<br />
of Krzystof Penderecki's<br />
Credo.<br />
She is no stranger to<br />
, Penderecki's work, having<br />
performed his Polish Requiem<br />
in Vancouver two years ago. I<br />
was bowled over by his music<br />
she told me, it is modern but<br />
big, thick .... He took the Credo<br />
another step - it's almost<br />
melodic and highly accessible.<br />
Another smart choice, this one<br />
Linda Maguire's, has been to<br />
start her own web site. No<br />
mere bio with a photo or two,<br />
this 1000 MB website offers<br />
visitors numerous streamed<br />
audio and video clips of Linda,<br />
including one made by the BBC<br />
of a performance she did at the<br />
Glyndebourne Festival of<br />
Rossini's Ermione.<br />
It is not, according to<br />
Oakville's Paul Davies, who<br />
created the site, an original idea<br />
for an opera singer to have a<br />
web site, but Maguire has been<br />
innovative and has gone the<br />
extra mile in providing so<br />
much audio and especially<br />
video material. Much of the<br />
audio material can be<br />
downloaded in MP3 format.<br />
It is Maguire's hope that<br />
the website will serve her well<br />
as a sort of pre-audition, that<br />
will help musical directors<br />
determine if they are seriously<br />
interested in using her. Among<br />
the things it will convey much<br />
better than an eight minute<br />
audition is the range and scope<br />
of what she does musically ·<br />
