Notebook
We at WholeNote are very
pleased to welcome two new
contributors to our magazine.
Readers of the December/
January issue probably
noticed an article entitled
"Jazz Notes" written by Jim
Galloway. Well, surprise,
Jazz Notes was not a flash in
the pan. It is going to be a
regular feature. It was .Q!!!:
idea that he introduce
himself in this month's jazz
notes, which took a little
persuasion . When you read
about him you will understand
why we are honoured
to have him as a contributor.
We are also extremely
pleased to have a sponsor for
Jim's Jazz Notes - radio
station CJRT FM, which has
been making such a significant
contribution to the
cultural life of Toronto for
such a long time. CJRT's
support of live music through
the WholeNote is one more
indication of its commitment
to the well-being of music
and the. music community in
our city.
We have also expanded the
distribution of WholeNote in
Mississauga, Oakville,
Burlington, York Region and
York University. As always
we welcome suggestions for
new distribution points
anywhere in the GTA from
our readers .
We wish you all a month
of eclectic listening from
Hamilton to Oshawa,
Harbourfront to Newmarket.

(!I NOTES
Is this Aradia's year ?
Under the artistic leadership of violinist
Kevin Mallon, the Aradia Baroque Ensemble
is now in its fourth season and continues to
present repertoire from the 17th and 18th
centuries - now in Toronto's Glenn Gould
Studio. Aradia is known for its eclectic
programming, frequently combined with
dancers (such as the Isadora Duncan-inspired
Lori Belilove & Co. and Montreal's Baroque
dance troupe Theatre Lavaliere et Jabot - the
latter seen earlier this season with Aradia in
a Spanish flavoured program). It also
combines forces with actors, singers and
chamber choir, as well· as ventures into the
realm of the unusual - perfonning in concert .
with world music ensembles such as the
Evergreen Club Gamelan Ensemble (two
years ago) and the George Gao Chinese
Ensemble (next year). In describing Aradia's
collaborative spirit, Mallon stated in a recent
interview that the Baroque-based ensemble
continually "explores different contexts for
the repertoire in an effort to broaden the
scope of authenticity". This season is proying
to be one of the ensemble's busiest so far.
Aradia was heard in December in an aii­
Charpentier concert as its offering to the
Christmas season. On February 20, they will
be heard in an all-Bach program that will
feature soprano Terri Dunn, flautist Elissa
Poole and actor Tom McCamus, who will
impersonate the great master (as he did in
Patricia Rozema's recent contribution to the
six film series Yo-Yo Ma Inspired by Bach).
A highlight this spring will be Aradia's
presentation of the first fully-staged production
of Canada's second musico-theatrical
work: Joseph Quesnel's Lucas et Cecile,
opera-comique melee d'ariettes. Lucas et
Cecile dates from Quebec 1808, and its
orchestral parts were recently reconstructed
by the Canadian composer John Beckwith.
Additional English dialogue will be provided
by Brad Walton, and the work will be coproduced
with Opera Anonymous of Toronto.
E )Bit '99 "A•uo , 1 '99 ·Mbatenote¥=
Aradia's first two CD's, on the Naxos label -
Caldara: Vaticini di Pace (Naxos 8.553772)
and Ballet Music for the Sun King (Naxos
8.554003), have done extremely well, with
worldwide sales figures standing at 17,000
and 9,000 units respectively. The Lully
recording was named "Early Music CD of the
month" in the September 1998 issue of
Britain's Classic FM Magazine. On May 8,
-an all-Purcell concert will celebrate the
release of their third CD with instrumental
music to The Tempest, The Fairy Queen and
Don Quixote as well as two Trumpet Sonatas
with guest artist Norman Engel. An aii­
Charpentier CD with Christmas motets is
currently in the works. And next season,
Aradia will make contributions to two series
in the ever-growing Naxos catalogue: they
will participate in the label's Haydn Mass
cycle; and they will also contribute to the
"Artaria" collection of 18th century symphonic
and choral 'literature. Scheduled is a
Requiem by the little-known Czech composer
J.B. Vanhal, which will be recorded and
performed in 2000 at the Auckland Festival
in New Zealaild - where Aradia has been
invited to participate as orchestra-inresidence.
Plans for next year sound rather
tantalizing too - watch for further news of
their first European tour, as well as a threeconcert
series of new music to be presented
at The Music Gallery and other unusual
ventures.
Poulenc
The Aldeburgh Connection is not the only
organization to program Poulenc's music this
month, the month after the composer's 100th
birthday. On February 25 at 12:10 the

Kiwanis Festival
Another annual occurrence in
February is the Kiwanis Music
Festival, in which literally
thousands of mostly young music
students participate. What it
.gives to young musicians in terms
of a motivational goal is absolutely
beyond comparison, but
most of us just take it for granted,
forgetting that it owes its
existence to a relatively small
group of dedicated volunteers and
a couple of paid administrators;
who do a lot of work to make it
"happen" every year. Why not
attend a session or one of the
Grand Finale concerts.
Another group that goes out of its
way to encourage and support
young artists is Mooredale
concerts, which gives the
opportunity at each of its concerts
for a young musician to perform
with experienced professionals.
The young artist featured on their

~NOTES
Toronto. Early Music Centre
The Toronto Early Music Centre
presents a special Valentine's
Day edition of"Musically
Speaking", an educational music
program at the Royal Ontario
Museum, on Sunday, February
14th at 2:30p.m. Free with
admission to the Museum.
The featured guests on this
occasion are John Mayberry and
Ian Bell who, for over a decade,
have presented traditional songs
and curious historical entertainments
at museums, historic sites,
folk clubs, festivals, and almost
any place where they won't get
kicked out. They sing both in
unaccompanied harmony and
along with melodeon, guitar,
bones, and mandolin. Their
repertoire includes early Canadian
and British songs, Music
Hall turns, lively instrumental
selections, and several w1likely
dance nwnbers.
With the celebrated "Bullero
Bros. Phrenoloterpsichorean
Travelling World Exposition",
they have thrilled (and I mean
thrilled!) with such specialities
as "Villikens and His Dinah -
Exposed!", "Double Leaps Over
Various Objects", "The Egg
Hornpipe", and "The Mystic
Oracle OfKilketmy" (a St.
Patrick's Day favourite). To hear
John and Ian perform, is to gain a
new appreciation for the phrase,
·~o boldly go where no one has
gone before."
They also happen to know some
delightful songs of reamour'
(that's right- Love!). Some of
these songs may contain mature
themes. Parental guidance is
advised, even though kids are
sure to enjoy their performance!

Stephen Clarke
INTFAVIF'WFri lrr AllAN PULKER
Stephen is a fine pianist
who has developed into a
top-notch c,hamber
musician. What is unique
about working with him
is that he is a pianist
with almost a complete
absence of romantic
stylistic baggage -- no
tinge of typical romantic
treatment; consequently
there is a freshness in his
interpretation
Jennifer Waring
You cannot go to many contemporary music concerts in Toronto
without encountering Stephen Clarke at the piano. His seemingly
endless technical resources at the keyboard combined with his
boundless enthusiasm for the music of our time make him the pianist
of choice for many of our new music presenters, such as Continuum
and the Composers' Orchestra.
I asked Stephen how this came about. The short answer is that
performing contemporary music is what he chose to do. As-earlyas
his high school years, while a student ofBoymma Toyich at the Royal
Conservatory of Music he discovered not only that he had an affinity
to contemporary music, but also that he wanted to become a professional
musician. Indeed, he never seriously considered any other
career possibilities. After high school he became a student at U. of
T. 's Faculty of Music, majoring in composition. He inunediately
joined the contemporary music ensemble, which proved to be the
single most significant influence on him throughout his four years
there. The Contemporary Music Ensemble, he says, ''was so pragmatic
and providea such direct link with the music community." Its
two directors, percussionist, Robin Engelman m1d composer, Gary
Kulesha, with completely different approaches to performance, were
people who really helped get Stephen started in the world of professional
performance.
When asked if contemporary music has something unique to
communicate, unlike any other music, Stephen replied that -it has not
one but many meanings. "The compositional aesthetic is completely
splintered right now; this is not a time of compositional schools or
national trends. It is an extremely varied aesthetic today." "But is
there a common thread in the music of our time?'' I asked. "Is it part
of the perfonner's responsibility to be aware of the conunon thread?"
he cmmtered, then said that he believed there was no common thread
uniting the fragmented musical aesthetic of our time. "However", he
added, "one element I have noticed is that mm1y composers are
missing the past."
"A brand new attitude [to' composition] is needed," he continued.
"The German composer, Emstalbrecht Stiebler, for exmnple, is very
aware of this, and he has raised the most buming questions of how
and why to go forward."
Perhaps these two questions, coupled with awareness of
aesthetic fragmentation itself, are as close as we can come to the
elusive_ compositional common thread.
You can hear Stephen Clarke in a solo recital at the Music
Gallery on February 25. The program will include Klavierstucke
1987 by Stiebler. He can also be heard on a CD, Pythagoras Tree, of
music by Toronto composer, Udo Kasemets, produced by the Swiss
recording company, Hat Art.

~SCENE
BY lARRY BECKWITH
Exciting choral events abound in
Toronto, this month, featuring
some famous visiting British
·columbian, European and
American choirs, as well as
important concerts by our local
favourites.
Friday, February 5th sees two
marvellous concerts. The Elmer
Iseler Singers, under Lydia
Adams direction, present
"Composers' Choice," with a raft
of new choral compositions
including Leonard Enns' "Missa
Brevis," the winning entry in the
Oritario Choral Federation's Ruth
Watson Henderson Choral
Composition Competition.
Watson Henderson herself has a
premiere on the programme, "Im
Memoriam Elmer Iseler." The
same evening sees a complete
performance ofMonteverdi's
pivotal late renaissance masterpiece,
"Vespers of 161 0" by the
Toronto Consort with a great
array of guest artists, including
sopranos Ann Monoyios and
Suzie LeBlanc, and tenors Alan
Bennett and Paul Elliott. As
Monteverdi would have done,
this performances uses accomplished
individual singers and
instrumentalists, one to a part,
instead of a choir and orchestra,
thereby creating a highly unusual
true consort sound.
The following weekend, on the
12th and 13th, the Tafelmusik
Choir and Orchestra occupy
Massey Hall for performances of
Mozart's "Requiem." This is a
coming together of sorts of the
two lives of Tafelmusik. TI1eir
recordings and tours of Europe
are often conducted by Bruno
Weil, though Weil rarely conducts
in Toronto. Well, he'll be on the
podium for these performances of
the Mozart. Also on the programme
is Beethoven's Sym- .
phony No. 1. It will be a joy to
hear the Tafelmusik Chamber
Choir in Massey Hall, once
again.
Three wonderful choirs visit
Toronto later in the month and
early in March:
Jon Washburn's Vancouver
Chamber (;hoir gives two
concerts, one at the Living Arts
Centre in Mississauga on the
21st, and another at Roy
Thomson Hall at noon on the
23rd. This is a durable outfit, led
by the energetic Washburn. They
give a concert every two or three
weeks in Vancouver, record often
and tour each year, as well. At
this point in time, they are truly
Canada's only full-time professional
choir and they always put
on a great show.
Another exciting visit is that of
the Stuttgart Chamber Choir,
conducted by Frieder Berni us.
The last time they were in the
city it was for stunning performances
of Bach's "Mass in B
Minor" with Tafelmusik. This
time, they perform five of the six
Bach motets (Feb. 23 at St.
James' Cathedral) and team up
on the 26th with tl1e Elmer Iseler
Singers for what promises to be
an event: a concert in tl1e
"Encounters" series featuring a
major new work by Harry
Freedman, Schoenberg's "Friede
aufErden," Schnittke's "Concerto
for Choir," Penderecki's
"Agnus Dei" and more.
Skilful perfonnances of
profmUld 20th century choral
music are. few and far between
these days, so congratulations to
Lawrence Cherney's
Soundstreams organization for
presenting what is sure to be a
very exciting concert.

How Come Small Towns Can Still
Enjoy a Concert in the Park ·
While Toronto Misses Out?
I recently received a very intriguing letter from the
International Military Music Society Member Charles Rolfe
regarding the lack of Summer band concerts in the parks in
the City of Toronto. In it Mr Rolfe refers to an article I
wrote for this magl).zine in September of 1997 in which I
deplored the absence of bands at the CNE.
Mr Rolfe did me one better, when he wrote letters to the
people involved in the production of concerts at the CNE,
Ontario Place and the Parks Department of the city. It is
interesting that he did receive letters in return from the
respective executive people at the above institutions. They
·; al.l agreed with his letters that band concerts as such had
.disappeared from the programming of their various
-.venues.What they all presented as an excuse was that their
was no funding set aside for the presentation of such concerts.
Mr. Rolfe has written an article describing in detail his
experiences with these letters and the evasive replies that
he received. We at the CBA will publish his article in full
in our next FANFARE MAGAZINE.
He also notes that such rich cities as Orillia, Brantford,
Cobourg, and Gravenhurst are still able to present concerts
in the park during the summer months and that these concerts
are attended by some great crowds of people who attend
regularly. They find the relaxation of a Sunday afternoon
or evening concert serves them well and fulfills their need
for good music presented in a beautiful setting.
There are many fine bands presently rehearsing in and
about our City of Toronto. It is possible that many or all of
these groups would be anxious to perform in any of the
venues that used to be available to them. It would not be
an expensive proposition to investigate the possibility of
such concerts in this city again. I know there is a vast
audience of nostalgic people who would relish the return
of band concerts in the parks. There is even a young audience
of new players and listeners who have never been able to
enjoy this kind of presentation. Many of them have just
graduated from music programs in various schools around
the city.
It is even possible that some of the superior bands that
used to grace our CNE bandshell might again be able to
grace our outdoor annual festival called the EX. It was so
wonderful to take an hour out of walking around. the exhibits
to relax and listen to the sweet sounds of music wafting
across the park spaces of our annual extravaganza. I still
miss these presentations and I know that others do too.
There are some very fine concert bands in the American
Military.some of whom graced the Bandstand at the CNE
in the past. Europe has some o~tstanding groups in such
places as the UK, Germany and the Netherlands.There are
many who would enjoy the opportunity to hear the best.
We even have our own Central Command Band in Ottawa
who are no slouches in the music field. Bring back the
bands!
Harvey Perrin Remembered
I was saddened last month to hear of the passing of Harvey
Perrin the former Director of the Music for Toronto Schools.
There are countless stories of his kindness and enthusiasm
. as a teacher and leader of teachers. I personally remember
his visits to our Riverdale C.I. to inspire us for various
performances. His helpful criticism inspired us to many
fine school performances. ·Many will remember his
conducting of the massed choirs at the Massey Hall May
concerts. His presence was always graced with a pleasant
smile that inspired confidence in him and in ourselves.

BY EILEEN NEUMANN
When Nicola Powell attended her
ftrst classical concert three years
ago, she promptly fell asleep -
only the applause could wake her
from her slWl)bers. Now that
she's eight, with many concerts
under her belt, she's an attentive
listener who can sit and ponder
melodies with other music lovers.
And she's not bad on the violin
herself.
"I thin}c it's essential if
you're learning an instrument
that you're exposed to the
amazing effect of someone
playing with lots of experience,"
said Nicola's mother Sarah
Powell.
Powell began taking her
daughter to Sunday afternoon
concerts the same year Nicola
started playing the violin, when
she was five. One of their
favorites is Mooredale Concerts,
where pieces are short and aimed
at a wide audience.
MooREDALE
Kristine Bogyo, artistic director
ofMooredale Concerts, encourages
children as young as six to
come. It is especially important
for young music students to hear
live performances, an experience
they often lack, Bogyo said.
"Some kids have a very high
level of skill - they can play a
Beethoven sonata, they're. that
good - but ti1ey have never heard
a live performance," she said.
"Music is not just another skill,
but it's also an art. By involving
a child in music you're nurturing
their soul and making ti1em into a
more fulfilled human being."
CHOOSE
It's important to choose children's
first concerts carefully
said Toronto music teacher Clare
Carberry, or you
risk turning a
child off. The
aim is to build
an educated and
a happy
audience. She
recommends the
Toronto
Symphony's
Cushion
Concerts for
really young
audiences, where Young fans witll pianist Anton Kuem
short pieces are
interspersed witi1' chats.
Carberry's top tirree kid friendly
composers are Vivaldi, Mozart
and Prokoftev (Peter and the
Wolf).
MELODIC FARE
Powell says she started Nicola on
children's concerts, and is
gradually moving on to more
general fare. She said that kids
(like many adults) prefer
programming ti1at stresses good
tunes.
"They like stuff that's really
melodic- I'd stay clear of modern
stuff," Powell said. The next step
for Powell will be a concert
aimed at an adult audience -
she's taking the family to a real
classic at Roy 1l10mson Hall.
"I got tickets for all four of
us for Beeti10ven's Ninth in ti1e
spring, because it's such a big
event," she said.
No SUBSTITUTE FOR LIVE
Being present at a live event is
special for children in ti1is
electronic age, Bogyo said. "It
gets children
·involved in the
real world
instead of
watching the
tube," she
said. "You get
used to people
doing real
things on
stage."
And
listening to
CDs at home
isn't a
substitute for venturing out into
the concert scene, Carberry said.
"I ti1ink live music is very ·
important," she said. "CDs are
wonderful, but you can:t beat a
live perfonnance. That's where
ti1e whole ti1ing starts. Otherwise
you lose contact with the human
energy involved in performing,
and the interaction of the
performer with an audience."
TAKE THEM ANYWAY!
Well, parents may be convinced
ti1at concerts are good for kic;ls -
but do kids want to go? After all,
the joys of playing Nintendo
cozily at home, not to mention
peer pressure to conform, pull
against concert going. Take them
anyway, Bogyo advised. "When
kids are young, I ti1ink parents
should just pack up kids and go,
not ask do you want to. ffitimately,
it makes their lives
richer."
Bogyo got a subscription to
ti1e -opera for herself and her
children when they were young,
and they attended every Saturday
afternoon, despite some reluctance.
"The whole idea of going
to the opera is "nerdy". when .
you're 15," Bogyo said about her
teenagers' attitude to Traviata
and the like. "But as soon as the
curtain went up, they were totally
mesmerized. My older son is 22
now, and a real opera buff- he
goes all the time."
(Bogyo's children come from an
exceptionally musical family
however, and not all teenagers
will be ready for opex:Jl.)
Powell's children are very
individual in their attitude to
concert going, she said. Nicola is
ready to head out on most
occasions.
"I wouldn't succeed too well
ifl were up .against a birthday
party, but otherwise she likes to
go," Powell said. "I don't ever
want to make it look like a chore.
Kids are different though. I have
another child who plays the
trumpet, who is less happy to go
to a concert." ··; ·
Carberry also recommends a
mixture of encouragement to try
something knew with a relaxed
attitude. ·.
"You want to set the seed and let
it grow rather than force feed it,"
she said.
Kids do need encouragement•
to try a classical concert. They
may start out napping. But whO
knows where they'll end up -
alert and educated audience, or
even as performers themselves.

~NOTES
As a new contributor to
WholeNote, it seemed like a
good idea to introduce myself in
this issue, although I must
confess I find it easier to talk
about other musicians rather than
myself Scots born, I grew up in
Ayrshire, although there are
those who would question the
growing up part! I first discovered
jazi through listening to the
radio - the Voice of America, the
American Forces Network in
Germany and , of course, the
BBC. Although I subsequently
attended the Glasgow School of
Art and graduated after four
years, the seeds had been sown. I
think it would be very revealing
to do some research into just how
many former art students over
the years have ended up in the .
music business.
I arrived in Canada on the
4th of July, 1964 and was at the
' Colonial Tavern listening to
some of my jazz heroes that same
evening! The saxophone is my ·
chosen instrument and the
masochist in me decided that the
soprano would be the hom in
which I would specialize. If I am
known at all in the music world
it is as a swing/mainstream
player, whatever that means in
this age when the word jazz itself
has become almost indefinable. I
entered the jazz life as a
traditional player, having
wrapped my ears aroi.md the
wonderful sounds made by Louis
Armstrong, Jolumy Dodds and
Jack Teagarden, to name only
years, to embrace the sounds of
Duke Ellington, Charlie Parker,
Thelonious Monk, Omette
Coleman, Miles Davis, Jolm
Coltrane and so on. But in my
playing style, although I listen to
just about everything, I have
remained close to the tradition:
When I'm not listening to jazz,
classical music is love, (I wake
·up each morning to CJRT). If you
haven't already done so, please
come out and hear me some time.
Oh, by the way, I'm also dedicated
to puns and playing with
words in generaL You have been
warned! I am the Artistic Director
of du Maurier Downtown Jazz,
now going into its 13th. year. It
will fill Toronto with jazz for 10
days from June 25th. to July 4th.,
but more of that at a later date.
Some of the performance
highlights to look out for in
February include:
Two more concerts in the
CJRT -FM Sound of Toronto
Jazz series. On Februmy 8th
the Kenny Kirkwood Quartet will
be featured and on February 22nd

you a little light in the pocket,
but you still want to go out and
hear some jazz, there are some
freebies.
u of T Small Jazz Ensembles:
For example the University of
Toronto Faculty of Music
continues with its series of Small
Jazz Ensembles playing standards
and student compositions. The
dates are February 3rd., lOth. and

the location is Walter Hall, 80
Queen's Park, 416-978-3744.
CBC 2, 94.1 fm: If I may add
another personal note, beginning
February 5th. at 9:00pm, and
numing for 6 weeks, I will be the
host of a new radio progranm1e
on CBC 2, 94.1 fm. The show is
called "Travellin' Light" and is a
look at the story of jazz from a
musician's point of view, with
anecdotes and some of my
favourite recordings. Each week
I will take a look at a different
aspect of jazz, drawing on my
own experiences and those of
many friends in the business - a
light~hearted pot-pouri which
will, I hope, be entertaining as
well as informative. If you don't
listen your radio will self
destruct!.

gigs didn't come they decided to
create their own series-three
concerts in the 1985 season. And
since the vocal recital was not
one of the more popular types of
musical events with Toronto
audiences they decided to reinvent.
the form, presenting the
music in a literary context - short
excerpts from letters, poems and
novels - to help the audience
understand the music and the
period from which it crune.
The idea was a hit, and now
· they regularly fill all 500 seats at
Walter Hall for their Sm1day
afternoon series. Colleagues in
New York and London tell them
they are doing extremely well
drawing this size of crowd. Ten
years ago they added to this,
series another, the recital series,
now at the Glenn Gould Studio,
which presents the music without
the commentary. (Early bird
WholeNote readers will have the
opportWlity at the end of January
to attend both types of concert at
the Aldeburgh Connection's
Poulenc weekend, in honour of
the composer's lOOth birthday.
I asked them about Poulenc.
Their answer was that it is
it1creasingly apparent that he is a
major composer. He was dismissed
during his lifetime as, at
best, a minor master, often
acussed of sentimentality. What
is now evident is that he developed
a unique ru1d recognizable
voice that appeals increasingly to
audiences and performers alike.
Among his accomplishments
were his settings of difficult,
stirrealist poetry by his contemJ>O:'
raries, such as Paul Eluard and
Louise De Vilmorin. His oeuvre
also has a tremendous range,
from songs and chamber works to
operas, such as The Dialogues of
the Carmelites, and a range of
expressiGn, from the ribald to the
austerely religious.
The Aldeburgh Connection's
January 29 Gletm Gould Studio
recital will feature several song
cycles as well as chamber music,
including songs accompanied by
instrmnental ensembles. The
January 31 Walter Hall concert
will present songs with piano
accompaniments played by Ralls
and Ubukata and, of course,
readings from letters, etc. to
bring the backgroWld to life.
Another initiative they have
taken is the introduction of a
yom1g artists series, presenting
talented singers who are still at
school. The next in tlus series
will take place on February 5th
with Carla Huhtanen, soprano,
and Scott Belluz, baritone
accompanied by Bruce Ubukata
at Walter Hall. Given Ralls and
Ubukata's track record promoting
yom1g singers - the Aldeburgh
Connection list of allUlllu reads
like a who's who of internationally-renowned
Canadian· singers -
none of us could go too wrong 1
attending this one.
In the final analysis,
promoting yom1g singers is the
end toward wluch these two men
dedicate· their considerable gifts
as pianists, their entrepreneurial
and administrative panache and
their highly original and imaginative
artistic vision.
I asked Stephen about his
vision for the U ofT Opera
School, which he has directed
since tl1e fall of 1996. "It is" he
Ubukata, as an accompanist,
has probably worked with
hundreds of yom1g soloists. As
well, he has been the accompanist
of the Canadian Children's
Opera Chorus for as long as
ru1yone can remember. His
influence on the development of
the young in this capacity is
probably incalculable.

~ At the COC, schedules don't just happen
BY DAWN LYONS
Sandra J. Gavinchuk s office ·in
the Canadian Opera Company
builqing on Front Street is a
charming section of the third~
floor eaves of the Joey & Toby
Tannenbaum Opera Centre. The
south wall is the original red
brick with a window, the glass
partition to the hall is crisscrossed
with dark red muntins
which giv(! it the genteelly festive
look of a cotiage. Do not be
deceived! Sandy is the COCs
Scheduling Manager. Real work
happens here.
'Sandy's lasfvisitor leaves and
she waves me in. Before I can sit
· down the phone rings.
After she hangs up she
explains: 'Golden Ass'. I got the
last scene in today, all we need is
or~hestration."
Me: Thats the Robertson Davies
one; for mid-April?
Sandy: Yes, his adaptation of the
Apuleius play.
Me: I've seen the CDC Weekly
Schedules that you make up.
Everyone around here picks up
their copy Friday afternoon and
lives by it for the next week.
Rehearsals, coaching, wig
fittings, dogs- it covers
everything. And there are daily
revisions! ... Are there unions
involved?
Sandy: Three; the Toronto
Musicians' Association for the
orchestra, Canadian Actors
Equity- that's singers, stage
management, directors, choreographers,
and dancers, if a ballet
- and IATSE, that's the stagehands.
Me: Who else?
Sandy: Music staff, that's
conductor, assistant conductor,
and rehearsal pianists -
minimum two per show. Xerxes
has three rehearsal pianists
because we are doing three
rehearsals per day instead' of the .
usual two. Golden Ass will also
need three pianists, since we are
using dancer/acrobats who will
need to rehearse at the same time
as the singers, and sOmetimes we
wi.Jl .need two pianists for -the
singers, so they can learn the
orchestral textures· of the workit's
a world premiere, they
can't just listen to the CD. Also
vocal coaches, diction coaches,
costumes, makeup and wigs. And
our Ensemble Studio, that's our
young singers development
program. We work on everything
-singing, acting, choice of
repertoire, role preparation, even
how to dress for an audition.
What else .. piano and harpsichord
tunings (our pianos
sometimes get pounded on from
l0:30am to II :OOpm), and space
requirements, the Education
Department n_eeds room, there
are meetings and so on.
Me: Most of this happens here at
the Tannenbaum?
Sandy: Yes. The Imperial Oil
Opera Theatre, our main
rehearsal hall here, is an IATSE
space. We usually alternate two
operas in a performance run, and
rehearse both at the same time.
Normally both sets would be in
the Imperial, one on each wall.
Rehearsals would altemate
between the ImperiaL and the
Jackman studio,
upstairs. This way all scenery
moving would be in the IATSE
space; However, the director for
Xerxes wanted to have all his
rehearsals in the same space, so
we used the Jackman Studio for
Xerxes ruid Barber is all in the
Inlperial. Besides the Imperial
and the Jackman, we have two
rehearsal studios, Vinci and
McLaughlin, and 4 practice
rooms.
Me: I notice there is very little on
your desk. Do you have a
scheduling programe on your
computer?
Sandy: No, I keep it all in my
head. There is too much detail
and too many chru1ges to make it
cut and dried.
Me: How does the schedule come
to be?
Sru1dy: The overall schedule is
detennined by hall availability:
For example, The HUll1Illingbird
Centre was available from
Sandra Gavinchuk
January 4 to February 6. Phillip
Boswell, our Artistic Administrator,
would say "I'd like to do
Barber of Seville ru1d Xerxes" or
whatever. Marketing would
determine the days they can best
sell and how it would work in
with the subscription series - no
Mondays, how many matinees,
that sort of thing.
Once the performance dates
are set, the other in-hall events
- tech rehearsals for scenery and
lights, orchestra rehearsals, and
the dress rehearsals - can be
slotted in. Then begin dates for
principal and chorus rehearsals
- the principals must have the
role memorized before their first
rehearsal, but since the chorus is
all ensemble singing, th~y usually
need more time to prepare, so
chorus rehearsals often
start before the principals. I
check the overall to make sure
it's possible, then I build the
daily and weekly schedules with
the director.
Me: How do you determine what
is "possible"?
Sandy: It depends on the vocal
requirements of the opera. Say '
we were doing Flying Dutchman
and Idomeneo ru1d we had
scheduled Orchestra I, Orchestra
2 ru1d Dress and Matinee
consecutively. Both works require
the chorus on stage for long
periods of time ru1d they are
singing over ru1 orchestra.
Although the collective
agreement allows the chorus to
sing 9 days in a row, vocally it
would be too taxing - 6 days in
a row would be too much in this
TORONTo's ONLi COMPREHENSIVE CLASSICAL & CONTEMPORI\RY CONCERT LISTING SOURCE
~ case. Also Senta needs two days
R off.

..
2 " Me: This means you know all
these operas?
Sru1dy: I know each opera inside
out and backward. I started out
as a singer and I still sing in the
chorus.
Me: Then, the weekly schedule is
done with the directors?
Sandy: I contact the directors and
ask their preference. Some don't
want ANYTHING to do with it.
If they want to build the ,
schedule themselves, I piovide a
precis of the parameters of our
collective agreements and when
we should have Act I done, when
Act 2, and when the workthrough.
I co-ordinate the
schedules of the two directors to
avoid ·conflicts - our young
singers may be singing minor ·
roles in both operas, and we have
to make sure they are not
overworked. It is my responsibility
to make sure time is not
wasted. Whatever the personality
ru1d style of the director, the show
has to be ready on time. I think
my most importru1t skill is being
able to quickly determine how I
can best work with each
director, conductor and visiting
singer. How I schedule also
affects Artistic, Music and
Production departments'. budgets.
Me: How did you learn to do
this? Did you have special
'trairiing?
Sru1dy reflects for a moment: My
musical background has been of
enonnous help to me, but no,
there is no place to go to learn
how to do scheduling, I've just
always been good at orgrulizing
ru1d always liked it.
Me: How do you stay sane?
Sandy: It's no problem! I enjoy
my work, it's like a giant puzzle.
I like the constru1t challenge,
when I am not challenged I
get ... edgy.
People say to me, "I need to
just veg." I'm not sure what that
means ...
