    A centre for spirituality, social justice and the arts, Trinity-St. Paul’s United Church is the performance home of the Tafelmusik baroque orchestra and chamber choir, while its gothic setting also serves as a performance venue for eclectic pop acts. Built just a few steps west of the Bloor and Spadina intersection in 1899 as a Methodist house of worship, its function went through several transformations before its present-day status as home to four different religious congregations in addition to its use as a music venue and centre for community activism, support groups and dance, exercise and theatre classes.
    Tafelmusik performs over 50 concerts each season from its Trinity-St. Paul’s base. Founded in 1979, the classical ensemble boasts 18 core members who perform on instruments and in costume consistent with the period in which the baroque music was written. The group also maintains an educational program including free student concerts and family matinées, along with school programs and a summer institute that provides young people with opportunity to learn all about baroque.
    Regular classes held at Trinity-St. Paul’s run the gamut of dance styles ranging from ballet to ballroom and salsa to tango. Tai chi, yoga and stretch classes expand the definition of a spiritual centre to focus on developing physical health. Drama classes for children share the space with psychology discussion groups for adults. And the African tradition of integrating games with dancing, combat and music, known as Caporeia Angola, is also explored weekly at Trinity-St. Paul’s.
