About Music at St. Andrew’s
Music at St. Andrew’s is a community outreach program of historic St. Andrew’s Church in downtown Toronto. We present top flight, affordably priced (and free) concerts and multimedia events. Our music program was inspired by the church’s 2011 purchase of a Bösendorfer Imperial grand piano, which we share with the greater community. The magnificent piano has been used extensively in our free, mostly classical Friday Noontime Recitals, launched in 2013.
