Music After the Millennium
Writing About Classical Music from Toronto in the 21st Century
Published independently in 2024.
In 1984, I became the first graduate of McMaster University’s MA in Music Criticism program. Armed with this distinction, I moved to Toronto and searched for opportunities to write professionally about classical music.
Music After the Millennium is a compilation of what I believe to be my best articles, written in the most productive period of my career: the first two decades of the 21st century. Contained within its pages are interviews, reviews, and a variety of essays on classical music in Toronto, Canada and abroad.
All of the articles found in Music After the Millennium were previously published elsewhere: in the Globe and Mail, National Post and Houston Chronicle newspapers; and also in Opera Canada, Opus, Queen's Quarterly, Opera, The Strad, American Record Guide and Early Music America, among other publications. I have also included some short opinion pieces from my blog, Eatock Daily.
Here are links to some of the articles I chose to include in Music After the Millennium:
