Wednesday November 5 ● Nov 05 12:00 noon: Canadian Opera Company. Instrumental Series: Bow & Brilliance Welcome to our 31st season of documenting one significant slice of live musical activity in Southern Ontario and beyond. Regular readers of this listings section will notice a big change: that the amount of detail in the listings as they appear here has been significantly reduced -namely descriptions of repertoire, and details about the performers. There are two reasons for this. First, detailed listings in print push up the cost of print unsustainably, so we need to economize where we can. And second, that our new bimonthly cycle reduces the usefulness of the listings themselves. Too much gets announced between print issues for us to be able to keep up with the constant inflow of new listings along with changes and corrections. This does not however mean we have given up on collecting and publishing listings at the same level of detail as you have been accustomed to. ● Our Weekly Listings Update contains listings at our previous level of detail. It goes out, by email, every Thursday, and covers a 10-day period, from the weekend immediately ahead to the Sunday of the following week. Deadline for inclusion in the Weekly Update is 6pm Thursday of the previous week. Readers can sign up for the Weekly Update on our website or via the QR code below. ● Our Just Ask feature, under Listings on our website gets you full details of any listing direct from our database. It also has an advanced options feature that allows you to specify date ranges, types of music, and regions of Ontario. ● Our online Kiosk (kiosk.thewholenote.com) gives you access to this, or any, issue of The WholeNote on screen, or downloadable as a PDF file. All the websites you see only as text in these print listings can be accessed with a click from the kiosk. Print publication dates and deadlines Next print issue: January/February 2026 Publication date: Tuesday January 6 Listings deadline: Thursday December 11 All listings inquiries should be addressed to John Sharpe, Listings Editor at listings@thewholenote.com.
