St. Andrew's United Church invites you to a festival of singing and choral music ahead of the English coronation.

How do we experience a coronation in post-colonial Canada? How has our relationship to Empire changed in the years since the crowning of Queen Elizabeth II, and how might our song change in the new Carolean era? How does the emerging conversation of de-coloniality inflect our song?

The Saint Andrew’s United Church choir (Music Director Hilary Seraph Donaldson; President, The Hymn Society in the US and Canada) and additional voices join with organist Robin Davis (The Church of St Peter and St Simon-the-Apostle) and festival orchestra for an evening of stirring and wide-ranging song.

Featured anthems:
“I Was Glad” (Hubert Parry)
“Zadok the Priest” (G. F. Handel)
…and more, with choir, organ, and orchestra

St. Andrew's is a queer-affirming congregation of @UnitedChurchCda . Our mission is to live, work and worship in an intensely urban setting. We are a Christian congregation set among the streets and tall towers at Yonge & Bloor, the busiest intersection in Canada.

We are a warm, welcoming, diverse and inclusive community of faith. The roots of our congregation reach back to 1830, and our current visioning looks forward to our 200th anniversary and beyond.

Rev. Neil Young, minister
Morgan Bell, ministry staff
Dr. Hilary Seraph Donaldson, music director
