Not sure anyone got my Hocus Pocus reference but I still think it’s hilarious 🧙🏻‍♀️🎹

All the love to young Clara Wieck’s dramatic side—when she felt super threatened by Marie Pleyel: “I’ll gradually retire from the concert halls—it’s no use any more; I can feel it.” 🤣😭❤️ She played concerts for another 50yrs.🤭

Looking forward to Saturday’s tribute to JB @ St John’s Elora: beautiful original choral music, songs, opera excerpts & folksong arrgmts. Grateful to Mark Vuorinen, the Elora Singers & Katy Clark for their generosity & delighted the amazing Kate Tremills will be at the piano.

Congratulations to Barbara Assiginaak, a grad of the Faculty of Music, on being named a Member of the Order of Canada for “her diverse contributions to contemporary music as a classically trained musician rooted in Anishinaabe teachings.” . . Learn more: utoronto.ca/news/order-can…

@RonSexsmith You are a treasure, Ron. We don't know how to "organize" our music history in this country because there is no serious music journalism; no objective, knowledgable writers with any perspective, because serious music journalism isn't supported. It's sad.

@BWheelerglobe We love Bruce

Howl of anger, howl of grief Here comes the heat, there's no relief Social behavior Beyond belief... Bruce Cockburn, the insistent sage. New album, O Sun O Moon, out today. truenorthrecords.bandcamp.com/album/o-sun-o-…

@Rory_McLeod @XeniaConcerts Agreed!

Some quotes from attendees at our @XeniaConcerts show on Sunday. Hard to know how to feel. It’s good that we’re fulfilling a need, but Xenia shouldn’t have a near-monopoly on concerts people feel comfortable bringing their young and/or Autistic children to. We can all do better.
