Royal Conservatory Holiday Concerts

#Toronto entertainment doesn't end at the closest Cineplex Theatre, you can also hit the Entertainment District, shows along Yonge Street and the ever popular Royal Conservatory of Music located at the Telus Centre for Performance and Learning. PS I will be watching the James Bond Skyfall movie at a Cineplex this weekend! The Conservatory is celebrating it's 125th year of musical education with some amazing productions. (Quartetto Gelato pictured above, supplied photo).

"December is a time to savour the spirit of the season with music, shopping, and fine food. Koerner Hall, The Royal Conservatory's magnificent concert hall, is the perfect destination for travelers looking for access to all three. Located in The Royal Conservatory's TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning, Koerner Hall is perfectly situated between Toronto's Annex and Yorkville neighbourhoods, with an abundance of gourmet restaurants and spectacular shopping along Bloor Street. Take the stress and rush out of the pre-holiday season this year by visiting Toronto and taking in a relaxing concert, and do some shopping with us as well!"
