The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Downtown
At the heart of Toronto, Downtown is the destination for cheap eats and fast fashion. Cut through by hip and trendy Yonge Street, the vibe here is young, with a strong student influence from the Ryerson University Campus. As a result, the Downtown area is always in flux: undergoing the construction of new facilities, with fresh retail spaces and pop-up cafes. Home to Toronto's largest indoor shopping mall, a number of vintage cinemas, and a healthy nightlife centered on the area's Distillery District bar and clubs near the East End, it's both an easygoing daytime spot and a popular party place after sunset. It also features some of Toronto's best outdoor landmarks, including Yonge-Dundas Square and the Nathan Phillips Square: perfect for a concert, a skate, or a relaxing sit-down.

The pandemic interrupted many things, including concerts by Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra. They have resumed, however, and today's concert featured music by Charpentier, Poulenc, and a Canadian composer, Tawnie Olson, that was focused on the Virgin Mary. Theologically not my thing, but musically fine, with the orchestra and choir both contributing. As I had occasion to note before, the acoustics are good as a result of the renovations made several years ago.

Generally a pretty good location for concerts, if one that is unknown to most, despite being in a heavily trafficked part of the city. The acoustics inside are phenomenal, but it should be noted that the seating can be a bit cramped. The intermission is held inside the building's gym which gives it a small town atmosphere, even though it is held in the heart of a big city. The same sentiment permeates the whole of the concert goers as for instance an old woman in the subway on our way home asked us if we had also been to the concert, and we talked about it for a few minutes. If traveling by public transit, it is easiest to get off at Spadina station and exit from the East exit (if you feel like climbing the stairs) as it exits about a half block from the locale.

My family were showing me Downtown Toronto and as we were walking along Bloor Street we saw Trinity Church. It looks like it has seen better days but was surrounded by scaffolding and that there is building work going on which is promising.

Trinity-St. Paul's is a church that is now better known as a concert venue. Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and the Toronto Consort both use this space, and we regularly attend concerts by one or another of these groups. Since the reconfiguration of the hall, now named after Jeanne Lamon, whose association with Tafelmusik goes back many years, the space is acoustically more satisfactory than it used to be. The concert last week, of vocal music by Agostino Steffani, was delightful. Krisztina Szabo was excellent as the soloits; the Tafelmusik Chamber Choir was in fine form.

Trinity-St Paul's is easily accessible by public transportation, for the western exit of the Spadina subway stop is within 50 metres. There is plenty of parking nearby for those who want to use their cars, on Spadina north on Bloor, and on Lippincott Street four blocks west of the church.

These seemed to be a very nice and acustic location for different types of concerts, especially with classic music.

Trinity Saint Paul's on Bloor street , west of Spadina, is the typical venue for the Tafelmusik baroque orchestra
Comfortable seating is now standard on the upgraded main floor.
The interior of this lovely old United Church is quite beautiful and well worth a visit all by itself.
