Venue

There is no church parking. The best solution for this venue is to walk, take a cab or TTC getting off the subway line at Bay Street and taking the bus south to 50 St. Joseph Street.

Organ Specs

The organ is Casavant Opus 800 (1919) and tonally revised in 1981 and a Classic stop/memory control system added in 2011. This little-known instrument is a gem in Toronto. It is a three-manual, 52 stop organ that happens to be full of the “fire” that the Paris organs of Cavaillé-Coll were noted for and happily, the Casavant brothers successfully emulated.
