TORONTO'S ONLY COMPREHENSIVE MONTH LY CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORARY CONCERT LISTING SOURCE 

We're watching, here at 

WholeNote, as I am sure 

many of you are, the Livent/ 

Ford Centre Saga as it 

unfolds, with all its twists and 

turns, proclamations and 

reclamations. 

I have to say, though, that 

mostly it leaves me feeling ... . 

unaffected. And I thi1;1k that is 

a rather good thing. 

How so? Well, first, as one 

whose business is to digest 

and encapsulate the monthly 

music scene, I am reminded 

every moment that Livent's 

concerts are the garnish, 

rather· than the meal-fewer 

than a dozen out of clo11e to 

400 this issue, for example. 

In fact, even at the Ford 

Centre, fewer than half the. 

concerts scheduled for the 

period were Livent's. The 

others are the work of the 

kind of local groups that are 

the bedrock of music in the 

city--the Amadeus Choir, the 

Bach Children's Chorus, the 

North York Symphony, .... 

The list goes on. (And their 

concerts will too!) 

ICs nice that people are 

working hard to "save the 

season". 

Its nicer still that whatever 

happens to Livent, the pages 

of this magazine will still be 

full to bursting with concerts 

of people who month after 

month, year after year, in 

halls little and large, produce 

music becau11e it is the life 

1 they live daily, with energy, 

passion and commitment.

NOTES 

December is here again, bringing the 

annual brief awakenim! in humanitv of 

the spirit of love and the longing for 

peace and reconciliation. 

The musical manifestation of this Is not 

only the sheer number of events but also 

the number of events that bring _together 

un1,1sual combinations of people and 

styles. Good examples--Volunge at the 

Ford Centre on Dec 1 ; and "Singing 

Together" at the Leah Posluns Theatre 

on December 13, which brings together 

Italian, French, Ukrainian, Armeman 

and Chinese Choirs and the Schola 

Cantorum boys' choir. 

In similar spirit, if not vein, also on 

December 13, the Amadeus Ensemble 

brings together jazz and classical 

musicians and genres at the Glenn Gould 

Studio. 

' 

And all over town we find children and 

adults work side by side: the Etobicoke 

Community Concert Band and the Forest 

Glen Junior Choir on December 5; the 

Scarborough Philharmonic Orchestra and 

the Timmins Youth Singers, also 'on 

December 5; the Cathedral Bluffs . 

Symphony Orchestra with the East York 

Youth Choir, the Gordon A. Brown 

Middle School Choir and the London 

School of Dance on December 12; and 

the Amadeus Choir and the Bach 

Children's Chorus on December 12. 

. MESS.IAHS, MESSIAHS, 

WE'VE GOT ·'EM! 

Thinking of treating yourself to Handel's 

most beloved composition this holiday 

season? The 25 performances of The 

Messiah found in our listings offer a 

tremendous slate to choose from. 

There are Messiahs from Waterloo to 

Guelph to Fergus to Hamilton to 

Mississauga to Toronto; Messiahs in the 

lush romantic tradition or with the clean, 

light, rhythmic lines of period 

performance; Messiahs in churches, 

concert halls and school auditoriums; full 

performances or choice selections coupled 

with carols or other seasonal music; sing- 

Business as usual, for some 

In all the heat and hype about "reclaiming the Livent season" from the wax and ash 

of Drabinsky's fall, there.'s one group of dedicated musicians that, for better and for 

worse, is not getting much attention--namely the community-based renters of the Ford 

Centre. · 

"The important thing for us" says Michael Pepa of Les Amis, is for people 

to understand that we are all going ahead as planned. We're 'afraid that people will 

think everything has been cancelled except the ones that get publicity for being saved." 

All of the following community based Ford Centre events are going ahead 

as planned in December and January. See our listings for details, or call 870-8000 for 

tickets and information.

THE NUTCRACKER 

The Messiah is not the only chestnut to 

draw crowds at this time of the year. 

Another is Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker

are seven musical renditions on the go this

TOP BRASS 

The Canadian Brass are not the only top 

flight brass quintet in town. The True 

North Brass may have just recently got 

back from China where they at;:companied 

J~ Chretien (you didn't know that he 

sings?) and played a musically very 

9onservative program for the top brass 

there, but they _are definitely here to stay. 

You 9an hear· them December 5 at St. 

John's Anglican Church•. 

EARLY MUSIC 

Did you know that the modern flute was 

developed in the late 1830s by the 

German flautist and inventor, Theobald 

Boehm, which means that the instruments 

now generally used to play the music of 

Mozart, Beethoven and the many 

composers of the baroque who wrote for 

the flute ·are not what the composers had 

in mind? 

Flautist, Mylene Guay, is a virtuoso 

performer on the type of instrument for 

which composers like Handel, Leclair and 

Charpentier wrote music and you can hear 

her with her harpsichordist husband, 

David Sandall on December 4 at 

Kimbourne Park United Church, about a 

five minutes walk from the Coxwell 

subway station. 

Another husband/wife duo, soprano 

Hallie Fishel and .violinist, Christopher 

Verrette along with lutenist, John 

Edwards will perform music of the Italian 

·baroque on January 29. · 

The Toronto Consort, one of Toronto's 

leading interpreters of Medieval and 

Renaissance music, will join forces with 

Puirt a Baroque on December 10 to reveal 

the continuity of the Celtic musical 

tradition from the middle ages to the 

present day. 

And Sine Nomine .(Dec 18) and Aradia 

Baroque Ensemble (Dec 19) both help to 

the early music flame burning bright,

NOTES 

CONTINUED 

EliZABETH RAUM 

Elizabeth Raum is a Canadian composer 

(she lives in Saskatchewan) whose works 

are being heard more frequently of late. 

On December 5 two of her compositions 

can be heard, the King Lear Suite for alto 

trombone and woodwind quartet, 

performed by Belladonna and The Legend 

of Heimdall, performed by the 

Mississauga Symphony Orchestra. 

VOCAL RECITALS 

There is probably no musical 

communication between performer and 

audience more exquisite and more 

intimate than the vocal recital. The time 

may yet come when there is at least one 

vocal recital every day. The reality right 

now is that ther.e will be some very good 

recitals spread over the next two months, 

but certainly not many. The Aldeburgh 

Connection begins the month with two, 

however, Catherine Robbin on December 

1 ·and a Young Artists Recital on 

December 4. The Off Centre series will 

present soprano Janet Obermeyer on 

n r 

December 5, the same night as the High 

Park Reeital Series presents soprano, . 

Diane da Camara. The High Park series 

also has a recital by soprano Alexa Wing 

on· January 30. 'J'he Lakeshore Arts 

Chamber Music Series, which 

specializes in presenting artists who live 

' in Etobicoke, presents Moira Nelson 

(Voice, Gothic Harp, Classical Guitar), 

Elena Jubinville (cello & alto voice), · 

Douglas Hicton (tenor), and James King · 

(bass) in a recital of original, traditional, 

Celtic & classical music on December 11. 

There will be two opportunities to hear 

George Gershwin~s music in recital in 

January: January 9 proVoce Studios 

presents a recital, "The Man I Love", and 

on January 21 the Royal Conservatory 

presents singers Joel Katz, Jean MacPhail 

and Roxolana Rosiak performing 

Gershwin songs. · 

BIG "ACTS" 

With the demise of Livent there may be 

less to choose from in the area of high 

profile, international performers. There 

are four of these that have caught our 

collective eye: December 15 The 

Baltimore Consort at the Glenn Gould 

Studio, December 21, Richard Margison 

at Hamilton Place, with the New 

Hamilton Orchestra conducted by Mario 

Bernardi, and the same night, the 

CaiUldian Brass Annual Christmas Concert 

I 

3' '99 

.at Roy Thomson Hall. On January 21 

soprano Renee Fleming will give her long- 1 

awaited recital at Roy Thomson Hall. 

SANDERSON CENTRE 

How many Torontonians know .that there 

is an 1100-seat concert hall with superb 

acoustics in Brantford? Brantford's 

Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts 

was built in 1919, was recently 

completely renovated and is only an 

hour's drive away from Toronto (except 

at "rush" hour!). Revitalized by the 

imminent opening of a Wilfrid Laurier 

University satellite campus more or less 

.next door, the Sanderson and WLU will 

be co-presenting Lully's rarely performed 

opera, Thesee, on January 23. A 

collaboration of the composer, Jean 

Baptiste Lully and the poet/librettist, 

Philippe Quinault,. Thesee was first 

performed in 1675, it was immensely 

popular throughout much of the 18th 

century. But times change, and it received 

its last public performance in _1779. (It is 

believed that this is the work's Canadian 

premiere.) · 

Drawing on the impressive resources of 

Wilfrid Laurier's highly regarded music 

program with dance by Toronto's La 

Belle Danse and costumes from the 

Stratford Festival, this production of 

Thesee promises to be of genuine artistic 

as well as historical interest.

DIE FLEDERMAUS/ 

SALUTE TO 

VIENNA 

There is startlingly little live 

concert music here right 

around Christmas and New 

Year. And what there is all 

seems related to Vienna! 

Toronto Operetta Theatre's 

production of Johann 

Strauss Jr.'s Die 

Fledermaus opens on 

December 23 and continues 

throughout the holidays. 

Attila Glatz Concert · 

Productions' Salute to 

· Vienna offers an upbeat way 

to start 1999, the afternoon 

of January 1. 

A LITTLE MORE 

ABOUT CHOIRS 

We rarely get the 

opportunity to hear that 

magnificent. crowning 

achievement of Ralph Vaughan 

Williams' mature years, 

Hodie, a cantata for choir, 

soloists and orchestra, first 

performed in 1954 under the 

direction of the composer. The 

Orpheus Choir gives us that 

chance, December 12 at St. 

James' Cathedral. 

From rare to everywhere, 

lots of people have been 

listening to the Elora Festival 

Singers' CD, The Mystery of 

Christmas, which is 

approaching sales of 50,000 

copies. You will be able to 

hear many of the selections on 

this fine recording live in the 

Elora Festival Singers concert 

on December 12. 

CONCERTS 

Benjamin Butterfield joins the CCOC 

December 5 and 6 at the Glenn Gould 

INVOLVING YOUTH. 

A sure indication of the 

health of music in any · 

community is the extent to 

which children are involved 

in the making of music. 

Thanks to. the many 

excellent' musicians involved 

as musical directors, 

accompanists and teachers 

our state of health is pretty 

.good. Consider the 

following: December 5 & 6 

the Canadian Children's 

Opera Chorus (joined by 

}Jenjamin Butterfield) puts 

their main chorus and two 

apprentice choruses on 

show. Also on December 5 

the Scarborough 

Philharmonic welcomes the 

Timmins Youth Singers; 

December 6 the Mooredale 

Youth Orchestra and 

the Oakville 

Children's Choir 

both have concerts; 

· December 7 it's the 

Toronto Youth Wind 

. Orchestra; December 

11, St. Michael's · 

Choir School; 

December 12 the 

Cathedral Bluffs 

. Symphony Orchestra 

with the East York 

· Youth and Gordon A. 

Brown Middle,School 

Choirs. 

December 12 is an 

embarassment of 

riches: the Etobicoke 

Youth Choir; 

the Amadeus Choir 

with the Bach 

Children's Chorus; 

the Royal 

Conservatory of 

Music's Young Artists 

Peiformance Academy; and the 

Toronto Sinfonia of Nations. 

And the heartening list goes 

on: December 13 the 

Mississauga Youth 

Orchestra; and the Penthelia 

Singers young women's choir;

ActORDION FACE-OFF! 

The second offering in New 

Music Concerts Season is 

"Face a Face" with dueling 

accordionists Joseph Macerollo 

and Teodoro Anzelloti--Glenn 

Gould Studio on January 9. 

Both artists are playing 

compositions originally written 

for them individually. 

Macerollo has selected Alexina 

Louie's Earth Cycles and 

Barbara Pentland's Interplay 

for accordion and string 

quartet, while the_Jtalian guest 

will perform Berio's Sequenza 

XIII, Salvatore Sciarrino's 

Vagabonde blu, Kurtag's 

Versetti, Ligature and Games, 

and Episoden, Figuren by 

Kagel. 

"Anzelloti is recognized as 

the foremost proponent of the 

free-bass accordion in 

Europe," says Lorraine 

Johnson, general manager of 

NMC, "but these two 

musicians have never met. " 

They will get their first chance 

to perform together in the 

world premiere of a 

commission by Omar Daniel 

for 2 accordions, harp, 

percussion and double bass. 

CONTINUUM SWINGS 

Made in Canada may have 

passed, but get set for the U. 

ofT. Faculty of Music's 3rd 

Annual New Music Festival, 

January 12-16. Continuum , 

gets things underway with 

"Pendula", a concert of works 

for clarinet, violin,. cello. 

piano and percussion. _As in 

their Made in Canada 

appearance, Rosemary 

Thomson conducts the 

C_ontinuum ensemble in a 

number of pieces revealed in 

their 1997/98 call for scores. 

"The overall inspiration for 

this programme," says artistic 

director Jennifer Waring, "is 

the myriad cyclical changes in 

the musical creative dynamic 

that, on the surface, can 

appear chaotic. There are 

underlying rhythms to the 

generational rejection of 

-previous schools of thought, 

and to changes within 

individual artists as they 

develop." Composers featured 

are Adrian Bamford (UK), 

Juliet Palmer (New Zealand), 

OJjan Sandred (Sweden),

STUDENT COMPOSERS 

STRUT THEIR STUFF 

J In keeping with the theme of 

young or emerging composers 

that was so much a focus of 

Made in Canada this year, the 

U. ofT. Festival has placed a 

concentration on music by 

student notesmiths. Two noon 

hour concerts follow. 

Continuum's Festival 

opener-with a double bill of 

Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire 

and a new work by Eric Ross 

for similar forces scheduled 

for January 14, and several 

student composers being 

presented on the 15th. 

Student/Faculty Showcase #1 

(January 14 at 8:00PM) has a 

range of chamber pieces by 

Boris Despot, Jason Stokes, 

Eva Sze, and Lusiana Lukman, 

among others, plus professor 

Gustav Ciamaga's Quartets. 

The second Showcase the 

following evening also features 

works by Walter Buczynski as 

well as Lothar Klein's Old 

Man and the Sea for voice and 

piano. 

The whole Festival winds up' 

with an 85th birthday concert 

for John Weinzweig. 

Duologue for Two Pianos will 

be played by .Stephen Clarke 

and Leslie Dala, and Lori 

Gemmell interprets a selection 

from ~he 15 Pieces for Harp. 

The remainder of the concert 

is devoted to Weinzweig's 

intriguing and often 

uproariously funny vocal 

works--Parodies and 

Travesties, Le Rendez-vous, 

and Walking/Talking. 

CHOICES! CHOICES! 

Fans of new music will have a 

tough decision on January 23, 

with two concerts featuring 

contemporary repertoire to 

choose from. RioTTrio, 

Michele Verheul (clarinet), 

Laura Wilcox (viola), Eve 

Egoyan (piano), take to the 

stage of the Glenn Gould 

Studio for a programme·of 

new works by Canadians 

Lesley Barber and Sergio 

Barroso, juxtaposed with 

international repertoire by 

Kurtag and Kirschman. 

Meanwhile, Music Umbrella 

gives an evening of trios for 

Qute, harp and viola at 

Eastminster United Church 

that will include Nadir by 

Christos Hatzis for flute, viola 

and tape, p.Jus music by R. 

Murray Schafer. 

ESPRIT GOES DUTCH 

The Esprit Orchestra also 

continues to explore 

cross-border themes this 

season with its third concert, 

"Intersections-Canada/ 

Holland", part of its exchange 

project with musical 

organizations in the 

Netherlands. On January 24, 

four composers will be 

highlighted. Harry Somers' 

demanding Third Piano 

Concerto is back for the 

second time since it was 

commissioned by Esprit. Ana 

Sokolovic's Ge6metrie 

sentimentale is her second 

work to be presented to Esprit 

audiences. The Dutch , 

connection is explored in Theo 

Verhey's Triade (Canadian 

premiere) as well as Song and 

Dance for soprano and 

orchestra by Ron F~rd, who is 

originally from the USA but 

now living in Holland.

TORONTO'S ONLY COMPREHENSIVE MONTHLY CLASSI(AL & CONTEMPORARY CONCERT LISTING SOURCE

Musician in our Midst 

Samuel Dolin sv ALLA~ PuLKER 

Gary Kulesha, now composer-adviser with the Toronto 

Symphony Orchestra, who studied with Dolin from 1972 to 

1978. calls him "the most influential teacher [of composition] in 

Canada. He was very strict - he would give you an assignment 

to do something in a certain way. If what you did departed in 

any way, he would show you the door and tell you not to come 

l?ack until you had done exactly what he had asked. It happened 

to me! What lay behind this was his recognition that a composer 

needed complete understanding of traditional practice. He 

demanded this of his students, and not until they had gained it 

would he allow them to try out their own ideas. At the same 

time, he never imposed any particular style on anyone, which is 

one reason why his former students include people wor!png in 

many different musical genres. Not only did he give me my 

basic technique, he shaped me more than anyone else. I cannot 

overstate this - I would not be who I am if I had not studied 

with Sam Dolin." 

In 1945 Dolin became a teacher of piano, theory and 

composition at the Toronto Conservatory of Music (now the 

Royal Conservatory of Music). While teaching there he 

continued his studies in composition and piano with John 

Weinzweig, Weldon Kilburn, Reginald Godden, E. Robert 

Schmitz and Ernst Krenek, and in 1958 he, received his 

doctorate in composition. 

Dolin started the electronic music lab at the Royal 

Conservatory in 1966, developed the ARCT program in 

composition in the early' '70's, and produced the first two 

recipients of the diploma, Roman Toi, who still teaches at the 

RCM and Michael Pepa, (whose Les Amis Series will be 

featuring~ number of Dolin's compositions). 

The liner notes of the 1968 recording of his violin sonata say 

"Dolin's reputation as teacher has grown so rapidly in recent 

years ... that his merit as a composer tends to be overlooked." 

According to Les Amis' Michael Pepa, Dolin "has probably 

produced more Canadian composers than the Faculty of Music." 

His former students include many active professional composers 

- Brian Cherney, Barbara Croall, Mary Gardiner, Steven 

Gellman, Paul Hoffert, Lorraine Johnson, Moe Koffman, Gary 

Kulesha, Larysa Kuzmenko, Michel Longtin, John Mills 

Cockell, Syd cRabinowitch, Eric Robe!fson, Ann Southam, Ben 

Steinberg, Ruth Watson Henderson, and Jack Zaza, to mention a 

few. 

Pepa also says of Dolin that while he is an icon in the 

musical life of the city and the country, he is also an outsider, 

in the sense that his work is not often performed (according to 

Pepa, because Dolin does not pursue performance 

opportunities). As an example, the performance by Alexander 

Tselyakov on January 17 of Dolin's Toccata Vivace will be its 

world premiere. The piece was wljtten in 1950 and revised in 

-1989. (When Tselyakov asked Dolin about performing it, the 

composer had forgotten about it completely!) 

At the age of 81, Dolin still teaches two days a week at the 

Conservatory, travelling all the way from his home near 

Penetang. 

There can be no doubt that Sam Dolin transcends George 

Bernard Shaw's facile adage that "those who can, do and those 

who can't, teach". He is a most capable composer with a real 

calling to teach--passing on his craft to those with the discipline 

to receive what he has to offer. 

The difference he has made, and continues to make, to this 

pountry's musical life is profound.

Chapter). His main function 

is the editing of the quarterly 

magazine "Fanfare" and to maintain records and offices 

for the association. He also owns and operates 

"COMPRINT" a publishing house for new Canadian music. 

He can be contacted by fax or phone at 905-826-5542 

The Canadian Band Association is again presenting a clinic 

for Band Educators and Conductors on January 30th of 

1999. The clinic will include reading sessions, special low 

and high brass sessions, a clinic on dealing with changes in 

the Education system, and a clinic on MIDI revisited. In 

the afternoon there will be a superior band concert. 

The reading sessions will be specially designed for 

conductors to learn about music from the past which has 

special significance to many of us who have been around 

for a long lime. We like to call this one Oldies but Good_ies 

the second session will include the best new music we can 

find. Conducting these sessions will be Warren Barker 

and Elliot del Borgo. Both these writers should be' well 

known to conductors and band players. The core ensemble 

for this session .will be the· Toronto Teachers' Wind 

Ensemble (formerly GTATWE). 

Guest artists for the concert in the afternoon will be the 

Toronto Youth Wind Ensemble conducted by Colin 

Clark and the True North Brass. This looks like a line up 

to dream for. This concert.is open to the public at $10 per 

seat. Conference guests will be given tickets to the concert 

as part of their fee. 

Many of Ontario's retailers of musical products will be 

presenting their wares at the exhibit tables_ all around the 

conference. 

Admission to the conference will be $25 for CBA members 

and $60 for non membet:s. This includes a $35 Membership 

fee. 

Lflst year's conference was labelled a success by everyone 

I spoke to. It is a needed opportunity for banders to see 

. what's new, learn more about banding, and meet with each 

other in congenial surroundings. 

The conference will be held in Martingrove Collegiate in 

Etobicoke. You can find it at Martingrove and Eglinton 

just adjacent to the 401 .highway. 

Since we had Wan:en Barker and Elliot del Borgo here on 

Saturday for Band-Aid, we asked them if they would like 

to work with a band of Ontario musicians doing their own 

·charts in a reading rehearsal on Sunday. They both thought 

this would be a profitable time to spend with our Ontario 

bandsmen. This idea came about as a result of the 

invigorating rehearsal the Teachers' wind ensemble haq 

last year with clinician Robert Smith. All the band members 

enjoyed that rehearsal. In discussion about Band-Aid 99, 

our executive thought that members of our Ontario Bands 

would benefit from ~uch a rehearsal as much as GTATWE 

Clid, and that the idea of a Sunday rehearsal for band persons 

with Messrs. Barker and Del Borgo would be enthusiastically 

received. Thus for a minimal fee of $10 Sunday morning is 

reserved for any Ontario bandsmen to sit in and rehearse 

with the experts on their own music. We hope to have two 

bands working on Sunday morning and enjoy this special 

opportunity to meet these legendary writers in person. Please · 

consider attending and bringing your instrument along. You 

will not be disappointed .. In fact if this works as well as our 

executive expects, it could become an annual highlight of 

banding in Ontario. 

Look forward to two days of opportunity for banders. The 

Saturday sessions are basically for educators but the Sunday 

session is for' all. Join us.

SANDERSON CENTRE 

The Sanderson Centre for the 

Performing Arts is a fully restored 

1134-seat theatre located in the heart 

of downtown Brantford. Designed by 

renowned theatre architect Thomas 

Lamb, the theatre originally opened as 

a Vaudeville house in 1919. In the 

heyday of Vaudeville, artists like Jack 

Benny and Gloria Swanson played on 

the stage of the Temple Theatre as it 

was originally known. Guy Lombardo 

made his professional debut in this 

theatre. 

After nearly sixty years as a movie 

ho.use, the City of Brantford 

pu~chased the building and began the 

$6m restoration. In 1991 the theatre 

officially reopened primarily as a 

venue for local arts organizations and 

private promoters. 

The theatre also serves as 

home to the Brantford 

Symphony Orchestra and a host 

of other musical groups who 

find the venue ideal because of 

its near-perfect acoustics. 

With a recent change in 

management, the Sanderson 

Centre will be presenting a 

variety of programs ranging 

from opera to top Canadian 

contemporary artists, as well as 

developing sull!mer 

programming, making Brantford 

an ideal destination for the 

summer traveller.

the Sanderson Centre please call
