In case you had already taken note of the date for our next concert, Music Around the World, it has changed to May 29, 2013. Please update your calendars!

We were very pleased to see a review of our latest concert, Tour de France, by Richard Todd from the Ottawa Citizen a few days ago. Read it here.

The fire was small in size but could have been much worse. The time of day it occurred worked in the group’s favour because it gave them time to notify as many people as they could, come up with an alternative date (no easy feat given the number of musicians involved) and re-book the church.

The hydro and natural gas was turned off in the church when a few members of the group arrived to see what was going on in the morning. There was no telling when the utilities would be turned back on. The Sanctuary, although undamaged, had a very strong smell of smoke which would not have been cleared away in time for a concert, even if the light and heat were turned on.

No instruments or music was damaged, thank God! Everything had been left in the Sanctuary after yesterday’s two rehearsals in preparation for today’s dress rehearsal and concert.

Here are a few pictures of this morning’s event:

Dear fans and friends, due to the unfortunate fire at Parkdale United Church the morning of the concert (May 1, 2012), this concert has been postponed to June 12, 2012. Details on time and venue will follow. We appologize for any inconvenience this may cause. For those that have already purchased tickets online, please keep your tickets for the new date. If you have any questions, please contact us.
