Here’s what’s coming down for the holiday season, as best I know:
- December 3rd sees the Ensemble Studio performing a lunchtime concert in the RBA.
- Soundstreams has a concert called Invocations on December 5th at the Jane Mallet Theatre.
- Also on the 5th Oraculum opens at Buddies in Bad Times. Previews are the 1st and 3rd and the run extends to the 15th.
- On the 8th Opera Revue have BACH Humbug at the Redwood; the antidote to holiday music.
- Confluence have their annual Young Associate curated gig at Heliconian on the 10th.
- VOCES8 are appearing at Koerner Hall on the 13th.

It’s coming towards the end of the traditional “season” but there’s sill plenty happening. Here’s how I see may shaping up at present (I expect more theatre listings will come in. They tend to be somewhat less notice!):
First some additional February shows
First some late calls for November:
Here’s what I’m looking forward to in a busy November.
The new season starts to ramp up in September. My month will start at Factory Theatre on the 7th with Mary Beath Badian’s The Waltz; a coming of age drama set in Saskatchewan. That runs until the 17th. The following night there’s a screening at the Four Seasons Centre of Atom Egoyan’s new film Seven Veils that was created in conjunction with last season’s production of Salome. A young woman is tasked with remounting her former mentor’s production of Salome. It stars Amanda Seyfried, Ambur Braid, Michael Schade and Michael Kupfer-Radecky. It’s a chance to see the film ahead of the official premier at TIFF. More details and tickets
