LISTINGS These event listings are free to all eligible artists, venues and presenters. These listings are, for reasons we are all aware of, a work in progress as we explore how best to present to our readers the new ways our music community is discovering and inventing to reach their audiences, at a time where the old constants of fixed dates, times and places to gather and meet no longer apply in the same way. Our tried and true monthly listings cycle is also of far less value at a time when projects come together much more quickly or can be postponed, cancelled or forced by external circumstances to re-invent themselves in the blink of an eye. So it is important to note that in addition to these periodic print listings we are now offering regular weekly listings updates online every Friday (see the ad at the foot of page 31). We encourage both readers and presenters of musical events to make use of these. Deadlines for submissions to the weekly updates are listed at the bottom of this page. We continue to look forward to your input as we move forward on reinventing our listings wheel! Please address all suggestions, concerns and queries to the attention of our listings editor, John Sharpe at listings@thewholenote.com. TWO SECTIONS Please note that there are only two sections to the listings in this issue instead of our previous five.. ● Section 1: Events by date for the period covered by the issue ● Section 2: Listings for ongoing events or previously date-related events now available on demand online. Section 1 includes more than just concerts. It is for any event that has an announced date and time you can circle on your calendar to be there when it happens for the first (or only) time: live and livestreamed performances; first broadcasts and screenings; concerts, workshops, symposia, and so on. If the event in question remains available after that first presentation (e.g. online or on demand), this is noted at the end of the listing in question. Section 2 is for musical activities that readers can access in their own time, where the nature of the event or the name of the presenter is a more useful identifier than a particular date and time. HOW TO LIST: 1. Use the convenient online form at thewholenote.com/applylistings 2. Email listings to listings@thewholenote.com. Please note, we do not take listings over the phone. Deadlines 1. Weekly online updates: submission deadline is 6pm Tuesday of the week prior to the event in question, for Friday posting. 2. Print: approximately fifteen days before publication. Our next print issue covers the period March 19 to May 5 2021, and the submission deadline is 6pm Monday March 1. 28 | February 2021 thewholenote.com
PLEASE NOTE: All times are Eastern Time unless otherwise noted. Listings are based on information sent to WholeNote in advance by event presenters. Due to current COVID-19 restrictions, some events may be restructured, cancelled or postponed. Please visit presenters’ websites or contact them directly for updates. Our next print issue will include events between March 19 and May 7, with a submission deadline of March 1. Events during that time period submitted after that deadline will be added online, and will also be included in our REGULAR FRIDAY ONLINE UPDATE of events for each coming week. ● ONGOING!!
