The Metropolitan Church of Toronto: A place for everyone
MMC Toronto is known for its progressive values, openness to welcoming everyone, and role as a Human Rights Center. It is an impressive, neo-Gothic church representing and actively promoting inclusivity. Numerous Candlelight concerts are being held at this remarkable venue this year including tributes to classical music greats and contemporary icons.
Paradise Theatre: A unique multi-arts venue
On the corner of Bloor St and Westmoreland Ave, Paradise Theatre is the perfect example of what an entertainment venue should look like. Putting hospitality first, Paradise provides a welcoming experience that isn’t easy to forget. Its classic facade and cosy interior evoke feelings of nostalgia and warmth. Candlelight concerts truly enchant audiences at this tranquil venue under the glow of hundreds of candles.
The Great Hall: Exuding elegance and grandeur
The Great Hall is a Victorian-style architectural gem. This spectacular venue has served many purposes during its time. From Toronto’s West End YMCA’s home to debate setting for mayoral candidates to the headquarters of the Polish National Union. Since its opening in 1890, The Great Hall has established a reputation for being a premier venue for events and musical performances.
Hart House: a Gothic-revival gem
Hart House was established in 1919 as a student activity centre that formed part of the University of Toronto. In fact, it was one of the first student centres in North America. Designed by architect Henry Sproatt, the venue was built in a Gothic-revival style, evident through the tall pointed arches and large windows that allow sunlight to shine through entire building.
We can’t think of more incredible venues to host such a varied series of concerts with talented musicians! Simply sit back and savour the stunning orchestral takes on modern-day hits and the music of yesteryear. The concerts have been met by countless 5-star reviews, and guests have called it “a creative, enchanting, and new concert experience.”
