Club
Membership Offers Wealth Of Experience And Opportunity
Membership in the Toronto Heliconian Club offers a wealth
of experience and opportunity to a musician. First, there
is the hall itself--a visual and acoustical gem dating
to l875. With its vaulted ceiling, warm wooden walls and
comfortable seating for up to 120 guests, Heliconian Hall
provides an ideal setting in which to present an intimate
concert. The hall is both lovely and functional. The works
of Heliconian artist members hang on the gallery walls.
A grand brick fireplace graces one wall and high on another
is a delicate rose window of coloured glass. On the stage
sits the club's Steinway grand piano and behind the stage
there are ample facilities for a reception following a
concert. The basement contains attractive and ample cloakroom
and washroom facilities.
Heliconian
Hall Is Available For Use By Members
Heliconian Hall is available for use by members of the
Music Section in a variety of ways. Each Member may give
one recital per year, paying only ten percent of ticket
sales to the club for the use of the hall. In addition,
the member may rent the hall up to four times a year for
recitals, master classes student recitals, recordings,
etc. However, some of the most enjoyable times spent at
Heliconian Hall by Music Section members are the concerts
they produce together, blending their talents and musicianship.

Other
Club Activities and Events
Membership benefits extend beyond the use of Heliconian
Hall for concerts. The real treasure of the Toronto Heliconian
Club lies in the many years of life experience in the
Arts embedded within its members, and the Club provides
frequent opportunities for the membership to come together
to share these experiences. Each month members gather
for lunch or dinner hosted by the various Club Sections
(Arts, Humanities, Literature, Drama and Music). Whether
working in the kitchen or exchanging stories over a glass
of wine, everyone departs the richer for it. A lively
agenda of speakers, excursions and a party or two add
further entertainment and intellectual heft to the Heliconian
year.
Music
Section Membership
The Toronto Heliconian Club offers a unique opportunity
to those considering membership. Membership in the Music
Section is open to women of recognized status in the music
or music-related community.
