Christ Church has been home since 1982 to the only recent-vintage tracker organ in a Toronto Anglican church. Its choral program includes a Junior Choir, directed this year by Stephanie Martin, and a Senior Choir, who have just produced their first CD recording and a planning a trip to the West Coast after Easter, 2002. Bruce Kirkpatrick Hill is Organist and Director of Music; Dermot Muir is Assistant Organist. Christ Church runs a Lunchtime Chamber Music Series on Thursday afternoons in October./November and April/May. This is the sixth season for these concerts, all of which begin at 12:30. Admission is by donation. An Organ Recital Series occurs Sunday nights in Lent. With its Yonge Street location (near the
St Clair TTC station), fine acoustics, modern facilities, flexible staging,
and seating for 500, Christ Church is an increasingly popular venue for
outside concerts during the year.
