Regular readers of this listings section will notice a bigchange: that the amount of detail in the listings as they appear here has been significantlyreduced –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 printunsustainably, so we need to economize where we can. And second, that our newbimonthly cycle reduces the usefulness of the listings themselves. Too much getsannounced between print issues for us to be able to keep up with the constant inflowof new listings along with changes and corrections.This does not however mean we have given up on collecting and publishing listingsat the same level of detail as you have been accustomed to.● Our Weekly Listings Update contains listings at our previous level of detail. It goesout, by email, every Thursday, and covers a 10-day period, from the weekend immediatelyahead to the Sunday of the following week. Deadline for inclusion in the WeeklyUpdate is 6pm Thursday of the previous week. Readers can sign up for the WeeklyUpdate on our website or via the QR code below.● Our Just Ask feature, under Listings on our website gets you full details of any listingdirect from our database. It also has an advanced options feature that allows youto 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.
