It's short notice, but if you're free tonight, you might want to make your way down to St. Anne's Church at 270 Gladstone Avenue.
At 7:30 pm there's an "admission by donation" concert featuring Bach and Beethoven pieces, among others. Donations will benefit the St. Anne's Restoration Campaign.
The church's "vibrant wall paintings make this church a place of national historic significance. They were executed in 1923 by ten Toronto artists, including J.E.H. MacDonald, F. Varley and F. Carmichael from the Group of Seven.
Their decorative composition, inspired by Byzantine art, complements the church's architectural style chosen in 1907 by Canon Lawrence Skey, the rector for more than 30 years. The art reflects the revival of mural decoration in the late 19th century, and is also a manifestation of the Arts and Crafts movement which united painting and sculpture with architecture."
Enjoy!
