April and May of this year have been filled with a flurry of events and we just now have a bit of time on our hands to inform you about all of our latest news!
First of all, our chorus has moved and since April 4th, we hold our rehearsals at the beautiful St. James United Church located at 306 Parkside Drive in Waterdown, a few minutes south of our former location. As our members step inside the amazing church sanctuary, their eyes are immediately drawn to the breathtaking stained-glass windows that adorn the walls. These intricate artworks flood the sanctuary with vibrant hues of light, creating both a serene and ethereal atmosphere which is conducive to fantastic rehearsals.
Boasting a very a high ceiling that reaches upward to create a sense of openness, this spectacular sanctuary allows the sound of voices and music to resonate beautifully, enhancing the acoustics for musical performances.
Adjacent to the sanctuary, there is a spacious and well-equipped kitchen. It is designed to cater to the needs of our chorus, providing a place to prepare meals for gatherings, potlucks and other celebrations. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, ample storage, and a large serving area to accommodate all of our needs.
In addition to the main sanctuary and kitchen, the church features several breakout rooms. These rooms are versatile and can be used for various purposes such as small group and sectional meetings. They are designed to provide privacy and a quiet space for focused discussions and learning.
Furthermore, the church boasts a spacious event room complete with a stage. This room is not only suitable for recreational activities, but also serves as a multipurpose space for larger events and gatherings. In fact, our chorus recently held its Installation Dinner is this incredible and ample space!
Overall, this church sanctuary with its stained-glass windows, high ceiling, big kitchen, breakout rooms and spacious gym offers a harmonious blend of reverence while providing a warm and welcoming space for all members of our chorus and guests who wish to attend our rehearsals.
