PReSIDenT’S MeSSaGe

Come one, come all!

After a winter that gave us more than our fair share of arctic weather, we are all looking

forward to the beauty of spring in our neighbourhood: gardens emerging, kids playing outside and our time-honoured tradition, Mayfair! This year, we celebrate its 69th year with a Medieval Mayfair on

Friday, May 9 and Saturday, May 10, so dust off your suits of armor and join us for a spectacular two days at Rosedale Park. From the beer garden, live music and rides on Friday night to the parade, bingo, baking booth, silent auction, track and field events, games and BBQ on Saturday, there is no better place to greet your neighbours and friends. Ride vouchers can be purchased at Summerhill Market or Mooredale House between April 23 and May 7; these vouchers are valid for both Friday evening and Saturday. Keep in mind that we will also continue with the successful bike valet service so plan on pedaling to the park! Consider supporting the efforts of our preschool by purchasing raffle tickets – the prizes are always fantastic! The entire Mooredale Board looks forward to seeing you and your family at Rosedale Park for this wonderful multi-generational celebration. Mayfair is the largest and longest running volunteer community fair in Toronto and truly showcases what a special community we have, right in the heart of the city! See you at the park,

Medieval Mayfair

MooredaleNews Special Mayfair edition 2014

Marjorie BoothEXECUTIVE DIRETOR

This familiar song about Mayfair can apply just as easily to our Mayfair as it did to traditional May Fairs in Britain, Ireland and North America. (Lyrics above are condensed

but you can listen to the original song on line.) All the traditional fun at Mayfair will be there again this year... And this newsletter is chock full of the details for you to plan your visit to Mayfair at Rosedale Park on May 9 and 10. I am especially looking forward to the costumes the kids decide to wear in the parade and to the fair. Think dragons, knights, ladies-in-waiting, kings, queens, or anything else that will reflect those medieval times. If you come to the Mooredale Canopy, you’ll even see me in costume on Saturday morning! The lead up to May and Mayfair is definitely busy at Mooredale. We welcome back many university students for their summer jobs at the Pool and at Camp. Normally we would have started all our Spring Sports and Soccer, but due to the very cold

winter and deep frost in the ground, the City has decided that no field permits will be issued before May 13. We open the pool for the 2500 members to enjoy on May 17 too, so there is lots of preparation and enthusiasm for the Pool Club 2014 season. Yes, May is an exciting month at Mooredale. We want you greet you all at Medieval Mayfair. We hope you will celebrate May at the fair, at the sports field, at the soccer pitch, in the pool and in a Spring Program. Don’t forget you can sign up for Camp and Summer Fun in May too! Heigh Ho – See you at the Fair!

Medieval Mayfair invites all Knights and Fair Ladies!

“The sun is a-rising to welcome the day.Heigh-ho! Come to the fair!

So deck yourselves out in your finest array,With a heigh-ho! Come to the fair!

There’ll be racing and chasing from morning till night,And roundabouts turning to left and to right,

So lock up your house, there’ll be plenty of fun,And it’s heigh-ho! Come to the fair!”

anadian Brass makes their Mooredale Concerts debut on Sunday April 27, 3:15pm at MacMillan Theatre in the Edward Johnson Building, UofT (Museum subway). We are thrilled to host international superstars in our own

backyard. Tickets are selling fast already, so music lovers and Brass followers alike are advised to order now and avoid disappointment. The Brass’ virtuosity as the best in horn performance is unparalleled and they were the first brass only ensemble to perform at the venerable Carnegie Hall. They’re also well known for their rendition of popular music. We’ve asked them to perform both, so the most famous brass ensemble on the planet will inspire us with the following:

Renaissance Brass – selections “Little” Fugue in G minor – J.S. Bach/arr. Mills Selections from Carnaval Op. 9 – Schumann/arr. Coletti/RidenourQuintet – Michael Kamen Mostly Fats (Looking Good Feeling Bad, Handful of Keys) – Fats Waller/arr. Henderson Amazing Grace – Traditional/arr. Henderson Symphony for Brass (a selection) – Ewald Selections from Brahms on Brass – Brahms/arr. Coletti/RidenourAin’t necessarily so – George Gershwin/arr. Henderson Killer Tango – Sonny Kompanek Carmen – Bizet/arr. Mills

Music & Truffles: An absolute guarantee that the Canadian Brass will have young audiences ages 4 and up tapping their feet, dancing in their seats and having an hour of fun at from 1:15-2:15pm at MacMillan Theatre.

A PRE-MAYFAIR SPECIAL PRICE FOR MOOREDALE MEMBERS: Tickets for Music & Truffles are only $10 each (vs $13) and everyone of every age receives a chocolate truffle at the end! Tickets for the 3:15 performances are $30 (vs $40), or $20 for under age 30 and are available at www.mooredaleconcerts.com, or

by calling Joanna at 416-922-3714 ext. 103 and identifying yourself as a Mooredale member. All seating for both performances is general admission. Our 2014-15 season subscriptions go on sale at this concert. We open our new season with Jupiter Symphony Chamber Players from New York City on September 28 performing one of Beethoven’s greatest string masterpieces – the Septet in Eb Major, Op. 20. Mooredale Youth Orchestras also have special treats for their performances Sunday June 1, 3:00pm at the magnificent Laidlaw

Hall of Upper Canada College (200 Lonsdale Road). You will hear the sounds of a thunderstorm and cannons giving way to bird songs and triumphal joy, along with dancelike rhythms! Directed by

Dr. William Rowson, the Senior Orchestra performs Beethoven’s picturesque Symphony No. 6 in F Major, Op. 68 (The Pastoral). The most expansive of all Beethoven’s symphonies, the work was described by the composer as “more the expression of feeling than painting.” Clare Carberry conducts the Intermediate Orchestra in Capriol Suite by English composer Peter Warlock. The ever popular work was inspired by dances from the Renaissance. Young players in the Junior Orchestra begin the afternoon with a bang – playing Tchaikovsky’s famous 1812 Overture, in an arrangement by Andrew Dabczynski. The Mooredale Youth Orchestras comprise over 110 young players, age 6-20, performing in the three orchestras depending on their playing level. They offer serious young musicians a chance to prepare orchestral selections and perform them at a high standard under the guidance of prominent musicians. Tickets are $15; seniors and students, $10, and are available only at the door. Information on the youth orchestras is available at www.mooredaleconcerts.com.
