THIS SUNDAY AT CCDP
"Meet Canada's Crafters .... Carol Knowlton-Dority is the creative mind behind the fun and fancy-free plastic flowers that you'll find featured in our April issue. These flowers are a harbinger of spring in my Toronto neighbourhood; when they pop up all around Christ Church Deer Park, I know that the good weather (and chocolate bunny) isn't far off!" ... See the Canadian Living article online here » / Carol is a parishioner at CCDP - see her website here » / a more serious side of her artwork was on display at last Sunday's Group Art show at CCDP - see info here » See a set of garden photos on the CCDP flickr album here » Element Choir, New York at Christ Church Deer Park when you’re working with a 70-plus person improvising choir, you need a huge freaking organ. At least that’s part of the explanation for why a good chunk of Toronto’s avant-jazz fan base have made their way to Christ Church Deer Park near Yonge and St. Clair... see music review in Eye Weekly here » See upcoming Jazz at Christ Church here »
