Music Mondays 2024

“Welcome to our 33rd Season of summer-lunchtime concerts!

Our 2024 Season will begin on Monday June 3rd and run until Labour Day, Monday Sept. 2nd. Concerts take place at 12:15 in the historic Church of the Holy Trinity, Trinity Square.

Music Mondays has served as a launching pad for emerging talent, and celebration of established local talent since its inception in 1992. Our concerts take place in the warm acoustics of Holy Trinity Church, just steps away from the Eaton Centre. Our goal is to provide the highest possible musical experience to a pay-what-you-can downtown Toronto audience - office workers, tourists, retired folks, young children, the homeless, students and the musically curious. The acoustics of Holy Trinity are very special - warm and inviting. The church boasts two fine instruments: a Steinway B Concert Grand and a superb Casavant Frères tracker-action baroque organ.

This summer, our concerts once again represent an eclectic mix of classical, light-classical, world, and early music! This season could be called "The Season of Duos and Trios!" Nine out of the 14 concerts are duos or trios! The summer opens with an intriquing program by Duo Perdendosi (Tong Wang & Maitreyi Muralidharan) in "Dark Tales" which explores the darker side of fairy tales with works by Sergei Prokofiev, Fazil Say, Leoš Janáček, and Joe Hisaishi.”
