St. Olave’s welcomes the arrival of spring with Bloor West’s own Lavinia Ensemble. Immerse yourself in the profound beauty of the music of Bach, Corelli, Vivaldi and Handel. With April evenings growing longer, migration underway and Eastertide in the air, the music reflects the season:

- Flautist Lauren Yeomans performs Vivaldi’s “La Notte” concerto;
- The ensemble performs Bach’s concerto for violin and oboe, Corelli’s concerto grosso in C minor and Handel’s “Arrival of the Queen of Sheba.”
This event is a must for all classical music enthusiasts in Bloor West Village and the GTA. Tickets are available at the door, $25/adult, $10/student. It will also be live streamed for those who cannot attend in person at YouTube.com/StOlavesAnglicanChurch.
