“Candlelight Concerts are known for bringing classical music out of traditional concert halls and into unique venues that form part of each city’s cultural heritage.

They also wanted to make cultural experiences more accessible. The idea was to create a platform for artists and to create new opportunities for them. The idea of attending a beautiful concert in a unique venue is something I will often seek out…but surrounded with candles? That would be dreamy! So, when they began returning to in-person performances, I moved swiftly.įever’s Candlelight Concert organizers have created a network of musicians including talented local musicians in various cities around the world. I marked it for future reference waiting for the right time to safely return. I had first caught wind of Fever Toronto’s Candlelight Concerts this past year when stunning images of musicians surrounded by candles kept popping up on my social media feeds. The tree-lined street is where the church is still located after all these years and is one of the venues for the city’s most intimate Candlelight Concerts, organized and produced by Fever (Toronto). My grandparents lived on Simpson Avenue when they arrived in Canada in the 60s around the same time this church opened. It’s a street I’m all too familiar with just steps from the busy storefronts and restaurants of Broadview and Gerrard. There was a hint of fall refreshness in the air recently when I was making my way to the Metropolitan Community Church.
