The Lavinia Ensemble was founded by musical director, Mark Whale, in December 2023, performing its first concert, Baroque Brilliance – in the Spirit of Christmas, in Bloor West Village/Swansea at Morningside Presbyterian Church. Taking its name from Lavinia Avenue, the heart of Swansea (and Mark's home street), the ensemble's  mission  is to bring quality musical performance to the neighborhood. The Lavinia Ensemble comprises professional and semi-professional musicians. Many are members of the Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra where Mark is concertmaster. Mark Whale, PhD, is a violinist and fulltime Professor of Liberal Studies at Humber College, Toronto. He teaches courses in music, philosophy and general education and is currently involved in developing Humber's climate educational program. Mark studied the violin in London, England, at the Royal Academy of Music, and in Freiburg, Germany at the Musikhochschule. After a career in Europe as a violinist, teacher, conductor and concert organizer, Mark completed his PhD in music education at the University of Toronto in 2009. A published researcher, he has presented at conferences around the world on the question of musical meaning. In 2014 he gave a TED Talk at Guelph University entitled  Music: Is it just a matter of personal taste?  In 2018 he conducted a research project, funded by Humber College, which included a series of podcasts called  The Music Listening Project.  In the series, which is regularly updated, Mark explores what is going on in music from a practical (rather than theoretical) listening perspective. Mark continues to play the violin professionally. He is currently concertmaster of Toronto’s Etobicoke Philharmonic Orchestra. Other musical engagements are varied, ranging from solo Bach in Humber's Arboretum, Quartets in Cafes, Piazzola on YouTube, to improvisation and the folk music of Bosnia.
