Don't iust burn while Rome fiddles!
Go out & make
some brand
new musical
acquaintance
If this were a run-of-the-mill
year end, a run-of-the-mill
boosterish comment from
us would probably suffice-­
something like "look at the
200 events listed here! wow,
what a city! wow what an
irreplaceable cultural wealth.
Not bad, even for a worldclass
provincial capital, eh?"
But let's face it, this isn't
your standard year end for
the arts in Ontario. There's
a very large shadow on the
fiscal roof, and it isn't Santa
Claus with a bag of goodies!
And besides, who says
"wow" anymore?
So to you music
providers: It's our hope that
the extraordinary cultural
wealth documented in this
issue of Pulse gives you
ammunition, collectively.
And to the good listeners
whose love and support of
music make this city such I d f p · h 0 f E
fertile ground: If you're r===n==e=x==o====re::;s;:::e=n=t=e=r=s=W==It====a:;:t=e=s==o===v=e=n=t=s==(D:::;==D=e=c=, =J==J=a=n=)=·~

Vol.l no.4 December '95-January '96
Getting your bell rung and other musings
Recent reports in the daily
press notwithstanding, it will
not cost you double this year if
you ask the musicians at your
year end company party to put
down their instruments and
ring bells on the stroke of
midnight!
Handel's turn
Want to persuade Walt Disney
Co. to relinquish marketing
~ights to the RCMP (and throw
111 Pluto and GoofY to sweeten
the pot)? The only card you'd
need would be the rights to
Handel's Messia!J! (for roer, and
roer, and rotr. .. )
This season alone, you can
hit the Hallelujah trail no fewer
than 9 times (9 and a half if
you get to Trinity Presbyterian
Church on December 1) on
December 13, 15, 17, 19, 20,
21, 22, and 23 (twice).
Friends of
t~e family
Pra1se for the producers of
Amabl and lbe Niglll Visilors at
Trinity-St. Paul's for their idea
of setting a maximum price of
$20 (less than the cost of many
smgle concert tickets) for an
entire family to attend their
production.
Pricier but, no doubt, very
good, is Opera Atelier's
production ot'' Mozart 's Magic
Fanltlsy ". Other family-friendly
evems (e.g. Harbourfront
Cushion Concerts, the
Toronto Symphony's children's
concert, concerts by various
children's choirs and the York
Symphony Youth Orchestra)
are dotted throughout our
listings.
Is a "Children's Corner" in
Pulse an idea worth pursuing?
Any ideas?
Wheelchair
Accessibility
At the suggestion of one of our
readers Pulse staffer Rebecca
Rogerson looked into the issue
of the wheelchair accessibility
of the venues used by our
concert presenters. To our
surprise, all except two
(Eastminster United Church
and Willowdale United
Church) are, by their own
account, wheelchair accessible.
Bur we also found there is
more to accessibility than just
getting a wheelchair through
the doors--- more about that
next time.
H~lping hand
Musacal community spirit? Yes
indeecl You may remember
reading about the Sine Nomine
Ensemble's stolen instruments
in last month's P11lse. The
instruments have not yet been
found, but the Toronto Early
Music Centre has organized a
benefit concert (see listings
January 19) to contribute to the
