Nor have we sold our souls to Bay Street. Instead, we\u2019ve evolved. Welcome to your new Ludwig van Toronto.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, we did a bit of redecorating to\u00a0the site. We\u2019ve also extended our network into other Canadian cities, the first of which is Montreal. We will be adding more as we go, and are open to suggestions. While our scope is wider, we remain committed to keeping the conversations about classical music going in Toronto, just on a bigger scale.<\/p>\n<p>We have made it our mandate to connect our classical music community and make it better. Whether that\u2019s asking some difficult questions, or celebrating the issues and events that you believe in, we won\u2019t stop until you\u2019ve been heard. It is our community that matters. You are what defines it.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the launch of our new name and a new brand, we\u2019ve got a fresh new website. We know some readers loved the old design, but we also know many of you didn\u2019t, and we heard both sides and have come up with a good compromise.<\/p>\n<p>While this is a lot of change all at once, rest assured we are the same feisty site that we\u2019ve always been. We aren\u2019t here to be a place to just read about all the events happening around town. We want this to be a hub for all things classical in Toronto, including news, features, reviews, and commentary.<\/p>\n<p>We are not here to cover what matters to us. We are here to cover what matters to you! We\u2019re run by locals for locals, and we\u2019re here to push the boundaries, have some fun along the way \u2013\u00a0and more importantly, celebrate our community.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear your questions, feedback and suggestions on Ludwig Van.
