Publisher's 

PODIUM 

On the cover of our first issue, 

(September 1995), we described Pulse 

as "Toronto's only comprehensive 

monthly live classical and new 

music information source." 

In October, abandoning the 

cautious good judgement that had 

prompted us to use the word 

"comprehensive," we rashly 

announced "Complete live concert 

listings" on the cover. 

Well, of course, within a day or 

two of publication we started 

hearing about all the eve-nts we'd 

missed. But for some unfathomable 

reason we stuck to our claim of 

completeness in November issue. 

Happily we lived to regret it, and 

in December we returned to our 

original, lesser claim of 

"COMPREHENSIVE CONCERT 

LISTINGS". 

They are comprehensive in two 

· senses: first, because you will find in 

them the lion's share of the 

upcoming month's upcoming

Dear Pulse, 

Congratulations on a great 

magazine! I will be looking for 

future issues. Will you offer 

subscriptions in the future? 

Allow me one critical comment. 

Please drop the Toronto-centric 

"crap". Yes we can enjoy and be ' 

proud of Toronto's musical scene. 

However, when it comes to choral, 

operatic, and orchestral 

performances; in quantity as well as 

quality, Toronto is a regional 

presence and not on the 

international presence. In North 

America, Toronto lags far behind 

New York, Chicago, Philadelphia 

etc. and is struggling to stay on par 

with centres such as Dallas and 

Atlanta. And in ~anada I am sorry 

PULSE 

classical and contemporary music 

in and around Toronto. Second, 

each listing is comprehensive, 

because of the level of detail in it: 

date, time, location, ticket prices, a 

phone number for information; as 

well as facts about the performers 

and the works on the prgram. 

(One request: please use the 

phone numbers provided. We make. 

mistakes, performers take ill,. 

programs change .... ) 

Rest assured, we have forever 

renounced our claim to be 

complete. Happily the corner of the 

world we cover is too dynamic for - 

completeness. Instead, thanks in 

advance to the readers who will 

contact·us next month to point out 

things we've missed. And thank 

you to all the people who each 

month help make Pulse the valuable 

resource it is, by getting 

information in on time! 

March is a wonderful month 

musically, with about 165 events to 

. choose from. We hope you find 

something to your liking in our 

publication and go out to hear it. 

ALLAN PULKER 

to say Toronto has yet to catch up 

to Montreal. For example 50% of 

all classical music sold in Canada is 

in Quebec, and 70% of. classical ' 

Canadian music recordings are 

made in Montreal. As well, the 

performing of contemporary 

Canadian classical music is almost 

non-existent in Toronto compared 

to Montreal. 

I could go on; but no Toronto is 

not a world class city when it comes 

to classical music - lack of good 

facilities and performers; sorry 

Tafelmusik is world class, but this is 

the exception. And the TSO is not 

even on the same map as the MSO. 

Keep up the good publication!

Your pulse is good and your

This list is not an index of every performer who appears in 

our listings. Nor is it a comprehensive list of concert 

venues. It is an alphabetical list of the groups or 

organizations under whose auspices the events are being 

held: i.e. the entities appearing in bold type in the listings 

themselves. In some cases the presenter and the performer 

are one and the same (e.g. Tafemusik or Aradia Ensemble.) 

In some cases the presenter and the venue are almost the 

same thing (e.g. Glenn Gould Studio or Ford Centre).
