October All-star Sondheim's Follies at Koerner Hall headlines the resurgence; Zoprana Sadiq brings MixTape to Crow's Theatre; Stewart Goodyear and Jan Lisiecki bring piano virtuosity back indoors; Toronto Mendelssohn Choir's J-S Vallee in action; TSO finds itself looking at 60 percent capacities ahead of schedule. All this and more as we we complete our COVID-13 -- a baker's dozen of issues since March 2020. Available here in flipthrough, and on stands commencing this weekend.

WHO’S WHO? THE WHOLENOTE ONLINE DIRECTORIES INDEX Under the tab WHO’S WHO at THEWHOLENOTE.COM, you’ll find our four directories containing detailed profiles about active participants in four areas of community life. In our Blue Pages you can read about music makers and presenters; in our Canary Pages you’ll find the riches of choral activity all across southern Ontario. You can also find information about summer music performance in our Green Pages, and about seasonal learning opportunities in Summer Music Education. Traditionally we published a single annual print supplement for each of these: The Blue Pages in the fall, Summer Music Education in late winter, The Canary Pages in May, and The Green Pages in early summer.) But these days it’s more useful to allow for rolling deadlines for all concerned, so we’ve moved these directories entirely online. This means that directory participants a) can wait till their plans for the season have taken shape, and b) revise them as frequently as necessary, as restrictions governing venues and live performance continue to adjust, hopefully for the better! So what follows here is an up-to-the-moment list (as of October 26, 2021) of whom you will currently find in The Blue Pages and The Canary Pages - currently the most active of the four areas. Profiles are being added or, as importantly, are being updated on a weekly basis. And while most of the Green Pages and Summer Music Education participants’ activities have ended for this year, we’ll keep their 2021 profiles online for your awareness and future planning, until they are updated in the new year. This index in our print edition serves two distinct purposes. It tells you who is sufficiently far along in their planning to have joined the directories, and it offers you a handy way to window-shop their websites directly - via the website addresses that accompany every name in the index. This is particularly easy to do – just with a “click” if you explore these pages while reading The WholeNote in our online flipthrough edition, accessible via kiosk.thewholenote.com. So happy browsing!
