This season presents three solo organ recitalists: Mark Toews, organist of Lawrence Park Community Church, Patricia Phillips Wright, organist of Metropolitan United Church, and the resident organist for 32 years, William Wright, who will present an all-Bach recital on the date of Bach's 313th birthday. Deer Park Vocal Ensemble will present a concert in December of Christmas motets and carols, and then a gala concert in April featuring Catherine Robbin in Bach's solo canta ta, "Geist und Seele wird verwirret" and Janet Obermeyer in Mozart's "Exsultate, Jubila te."

Monthly meetings offer a wide variety of events from lectures and debates to videos, reviews and interviews with international performers. We maintain a scholarship fund which is used to support and sponsor young singers studying here in Toronto and abroad. The recipients often perform at an annual recital. In the past couple of years we have been invited by the Canadian Opera Company to present preperformance lectures for their Wagner and Strauss productions. We will continue this tradition in the current season. Through our interaction with international Wagner Societies we are able to offer members the opportunity to travel to Bayre~th and other Wagner productions. A quarterly newsletter keeps members up to date on activities of interest. Watch for our listings in WholeNote- most meetings are Monday nights a t The Arts and Letters Club, 14 Elm Street, Toronto.
