All jazz ensembles rehearse for forty minutes each school day and the students receive a grade for their participation. New Trier also offers four curricular concert bands and five orchestras. More than 120 students participate in the jazz studies program at New Trier. Some of the jazz artists who have performed with the New Trier Jazz Ensemble in- clude... Dizzy Gillespie, Maynard Ferguson, the rhythm section of the Count Basie Orchestra, Toshiko Akiyoshi, Lew Tabacken, Ed Shaugnessy, Clark Terry, Louie Bellson, Jamie Aebersold, Bobby Shew, and more than 50 others listed later in this program. Believing that their graduates are their trophies, the New Trier jazz ensembles do not participate in competitive jazz events. However, Jazz Ensemble I has performed at the Montreux Jazz Festi- val and the North Sea Jazz Festival, twice at the conventions of the Intemational Association of Jazz Education, three times before today at the Midwest Interna- tional Band and Orchestra Clinic, a Music Educators National Conference, and the National Band Association convention. They have performed several times at Ravinia and the Jazz Showcase in Chicago. During the summer of 2000 the ensemble toured China for two weeks with the Cham- ber Orchestra, performing the first jazz concerts ever presented in the three major cities in the Henan Province, China’s most populated Prov- ince.

  • A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound*
    A City "... Waiting for the Sunrise " : Toronto in Song and Sound* Michael J. Doucet Abstract: One aspect of urban culture is examined to evaluate Toronto's position within the urban hierarchy, namely, the production of songs and sounds about the city. Although much music has been performed and created in Toronto over the years, and many songs have been urritten about a variety of features of life in the city, the musical images of Toronto remain largely unknown beyond its borders—even to many of the city's own residents. If Toronto is a "world-class city," the evidence for such a claim would have to be found on other dimensions than the one explored here. No one ever wrote / A single note / About Toronto. — Johnny Wayne and Frank Shuster (19%) I find that lately, I'm missing old Toronto, Where bass is strong and drums are full of fire. — from the Lenny Breau song "New York City" (1987) No nation can exist by the balance sheet alone. Stories, song, dance, music, art and the rest are the lifeblood of a country, the cultural images defining a people just as surely as their geography and the gross national product. — Robert Lewis, editor of Maclean's (19%) Interestingly, though, we don't seem to have an immediately identifiable style. The last time anyone spoke about a 'Toronto Sound' [former Mayor] Alan Lamport was booting hippies out of Yorkville. Unlike a Nashville or Manchester, there isn't any one thing that makes you say 'That's Toronto' -- Bob Mackowycz, writer and broadcaster (1991) Toronto itself doesn't have a distinctive civic culture.

Developing and Promoting Big Band Jazz in Canada and Beyond Synopsis: Big Band jazz is very much alive in every city and on every college campus in the Western world. Professional organizations throughout North America are actively engaged in big band exploration, creation, performance, recording and education. This article will present what the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra is doing to keep big band alive and thriving, and how it is developing ties to like-minded organizations in Canada and beyond. Preamble: What comes to mind if you were asked to provide a definition of a “symphony orchestra”? Most people would respond with a description close to that in the Encyclopaedia Britannica… an ensemble “western classical” musical instruments - primarily strings, though usually complemented by brass, woodwinds and percussion1. If there was one composer that most would associate with this ensemble, it would be Beethoven2, but it is widely recognized that the symphony orchestra has a huge repertoire of masterworks from a great number of composers, with new works being created every year throughout the world.

  • Family Channel Takes a Stand Against Bullying
    Family Channel Takes a Stand Against Bullying Family Channel Partners with Bullying.org to Launch National Bullying Awareness Week November 15 to 21, 2004 Toronto, November 8, 2004 - Family Channel and Bullying.org Canada are launching the second- annual, national bullying awareness week on November 15, 2004. Running until November 21, the week-long campaign is intended to build awareness for the part that bystanders play in diffusing and preventing social/relational bullying situations. The campaign hinges on a challenge to young people to “Take the Pledge,” an empowering statement that encourages kids to take a stand against bullying. Last year 55,000 Canadian kids took the pledge and the goal is to increase this number to 100,000 during this year’s campaign. This year’s campaign will include a week of special programming on Family Channel; the launch of a new Public Service Announcement (PSA) demonstrating the part that bystanders can play in remedying bullying; and, an interactive website where Canadians can “Take the Pledge” and tell their stories of standing up to bullying. Schools across Canada will also hold events and organize initiatives during this week, and throughout the school year, to stop bullying and draw awareness to the part that bystanders can play. "Social bullying is reinforced when kids who witness the act stand by and do nothing about it," says Bill Belsey, President, Bullying.org Canada. "Family Channel and Bullying.org are trying to change ‘bystander’ behaviour by showing kids examples of how they can act differently and diffuse bullying situations. We are not asking kids to get involved in a physical way, but rather to reach out to victim and show bullies that their actions will not be sanctioned or tolerated.
