The Seasons by Tchaikovsky
2023-10-20 19:00 - 21:00
Our Director of Music, Andy Elmhirst, performs The Seasons by Tchaikovsky – a set of 12 character pieces for solo piano that each represent one month of the year. From a winter’s sleigh ride to a summer’s wheat harvest, the pieces are diverse and evocative. Tchaikovsky’s considerable gift for melody is on full display, making The Seasons one of the best-loved examples of late-Romantic piano music. All are welcome, pay-what-you-can.

Mohawk Institute Residential School Tour
2023-10-14 09:30 - 13:30
On Saturday, October 14, we will gather to tour the Mohawk Institute in Brantford. This former Indian Residential School was operated by the Anglican Church until 1922, when the Government of Canada took over responsibility. Today, the facility is maintained by the Woodland Cultural Centre, which offers opportunities for learning about the history and legacy of the Indian Residential School system. It is an opportunity for embodied learning, as we will hear the stories of some of the children who were brought to the school and see the spaces where they spent their days and nights. We will be carpooling to the site near Brantford, leaving from the St. Christopher’s parking lot at 9.30am on October 14 so we can be on time for our tour at 10.30am. * Please contact the office by telephone (905 634 1809) or email (staff@ stcb.ca) to sign up.
