Eve Goldberg

Calling All Ukulele Players! 
Perform at the Toronto presentation of
“The November Project” 
on Wed Oct 7, 2026.  

The November Project is a Canadian story created by Rob Horgan, drawn from letters that his grandfather wrote to his grandmother during World War II. Horgan's grandfather fought on the front lines all across Europe with the 48th Highlanders of Canada and wrote over 300 love letters to his young bride in Toronto from 1943-1946. Now airing on Bell TV as a five-part series, The November Project has been presented live in different contexts with musicians singing songs in between live readings of the letters. This October, for the second time, The November Project will be staged in Toronto with a community ukulele group led by Eve Goldberg.

What's Involved:

You'll learn to sing and play five or six World-War II-era songs. You'll be given access to four 1 ½ hour videos of previous online rehearsals where we learned the songs and went through the chords and accompaniment together. You can practice on your own time in the comfort of your own home. Eve will be available by email if you have any questions.

We'll have one in-person rehearsal on the afternoon of Sunday, October 4th at The Rivoli.

You'll be provided with song sheets and other printed materials as needed. You'll need to supply your own ukulele and be able to tune it - all materials will be in C tuning.  Baritone ukuleles welcome!

The performance will take place on the evening of Wednesday, October 7th at The Rivoli, 334 Queen St. W. in Toronto (Time TBA). Participants will probably be asked to arrive several hours earlier to warm up and run through pieces before the doors open.

Experience Level:

The November Project Band is open to all ukulele players beyond beginner. You should know how to play basic chords like C, D, F, G, A, Dm, Am, Em, and be able to sing and strum some songs. Many of the songs have a lot of chords, and jazz chords that are a little more challenging, but we've tried to keep the arrangements and accompaniment accessible for a wide range of experience levels.

   $100 supporter
   $75 regular
   $60 low-income
