As mentioned in previous issues, The WholeNote has a wealth of information online that is not included in our print issues. Our Who's Who section at thewholenote.com is where you'll find detailed profiles of various music presenters, choirs, summer education opportunities and summer festivals. In addition to our Blue Pages (music presenters) and Summer Music Education indexes, here we welcome participants in our Canary Pages choral directory, as well as those who've joined our Green Pages summer festivals directory, at time of publication. These directories, with full profiles, are updated online as new submissions are received, so check back often at thewholenote.com under our Who's Who tab, to look for a choir to join, summer music camps, programs and festivals, and who's becoming active again on the live music scene.
