Performing
in Heliconian Hall
Imagine a small European concert stage in an art gallery
setting right here in the heart of Toronto. Heliconian
Hall is such a place. Equipped with a well maintained
Steinway grand piano, Heliconian Hall allows performances
to reach the highest standards.
Heliconian members and their guests perform solo piano
and lieder recitals, opera and Broadway programmes,
chamber and choir music, all in the perfect setting
of this intimate hall. In addition to the ad hoc
concerts which individual members organize for themselves
and their guests, the club has a series of annual specialized
concert events.
