Mere months after the much-publicized firing of Festival of Authors director Greg Gatenby, Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre has abruptly dismissed the man who has programmed its music for nearly two decades. Derek Andrews “was informed on Sept. 25 in a terse letter that his contract would not be renewed in December and that the non-profit corporation no longer needed his services… Andrews obsessively sought out and exposed new and young talent, helped establish Harbourfront as a key element in the international touring network, and provided a refreshing and intelligent alternative to mass-marketed commercial music.”
