listings@theWholeNote.com Event listings are free of charge to artists, venues and presenters. A reliable monthly calendar of live musical events, in these rapidly changing times is not a realistic goal. Our listings continue to be a work in progress as we all, musicians and presenters alike, explore the best ways to reach audiences. CAUTION UNDER CONSTRUCTION We process online listings on a weekly basis. The updated listings can be searched at any time using “JUST ASK” under the LISTINGS tab on our website, thewholenote.com. At the start of every weekend we post a digest of listings for the upcoming six weeks. The online digest includes newly received listings and updates to listings previously posted – crucial in these volatile times. You can find the digest under the LISTINGS tab by choosing ONLINE STREAMED ETCETERA Listings by date now include live and/or streamed events instead of only live events. We welcome listings for live-to-air performances and also for previously produced events being streamed for the first time on an announced date. Within reason we will also retain those listings in our updates for the time they remain available on demand to an audience. We encourage presenters from across Canada to list online events based on availability/interest to our readers. The printed listings digest on the following three pages is an example of what you’ll find online – it’s based on the online listings update posted on Saturday March 6. Address all concerns and inquiries to the attention of our listings editor, John Sharpe at listings@thewholenote.com. HERE’S WHAT’S NEW • Searchable online listings updated weekly; • A weekly online digest with six weeks’ worth of updated listings • Listings now also include streaming and on demand • An expanding range of what gets listed, and from where. IN THIS ISSUE: TWO LISTINGS SECTIONS HOW TO LIST: ● Section 1: Events by date for March 20 – May 7 These are events with an announced date and time that one could circle on a calendar, in order to “be there” when it happens for the first (or only) time. This includes 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. ● Section 2: Listings for ongoing events or previously date-related events now available on demand online. These are musical activities that readers can access in their own time, usefully identified by the name of the presenter or the nature of the event. 1.
