1825: A 200th Anniversary Celebration Variety Concert for The Kirk

Located on the corner of Pownal and Fitzroy in Charlottetown, the Kirk is known for its music. With a ceiling designed by William Critchlow Harris, the space offers sublime acoustics for both instrumental and vocal music, and frequently hosts concerts and touring choirs. On October 18, the Kirk presents 1825: A 200th Anniversary Celebration Variety Concert, a Saturday evening program that reflects the music, songs, and entertainment the people of Charlottetown would have known and enjoyed in 1825. 

The concert begins at 7 pm with popular 1825 offerings drawn from the members of the Kirk Choir and its choral scholars, soloists Tara MacEachern, Ian Soloman, Sung Ha Shin-Bouey, and Stephen Bouey, the fiddle talents of Rowen Gallant, and step dancing with Jennifer Carson. 

Keeping with Island tradition, a reception in the Upper Hall will follow the concert for anyone who wants to enjoy some of the baking by the Kirk bakers. Admission is by free will donation (tap will also be available).
