Concert Halls from coast to Coast! If you don't need an amp, chances are I've been on stage.

 1. The Centre In the Square

Kitchener, ON N2H 6P7

5.0 star rating

NB:  I've never purchased a ticket to be here.  My perspective is entirely from the stage.

It's great!  It's the best concert hall of it's size in all of Southern Ontario.  The hall in Thunder Bay sounds better (IMHO) but that's subjective of course.…More »

This is perhaps the only venue in the city where I haven't yet been in the stage door.  I've been twice as a patron for one opera (with nosebleed seats) and one ballet (on the orchestra level).

The sound and sight lines are all fantastic.  It's built…More »

I've never actually been to Massey Hall as a patron/concert-goer.  I've only ever been on stage.  As an acoustic venue it sounds great.  Plus all the balcony seating is up close so you can very easily connect with your audience.

However the back-stage…More »

I have to give this little performance space mixed reviews.  The backstage space is totally inadequate if your band/troupe/contraption has more than 4 performers if you're not the only act for the evening.

If your group has any choreography with any…More »

I've experienced this place from every possible angle you can think of.  (Patron, performer, engineer, producer etc)  If it weren't for the crippling cost, I would do all my recording projects here.

The staff (if you need them) are excellent and know…More »

The Music Garden is a wonderful oasis right inside the city.  It has a beautiful layout of areas that represent various musical/dance forms based on a 'cello suite by J.S. Bach.

I was one of the few musicians that got to play along with Mr. Ma during…More »
