SEAT DEDICATION

BE A PART OF 130 YEARS OF MUSIC HISTORY

Name a Seat and Support our Community Impact Programming This Holiday Season!


Let’s celebrate 130 years of unforgettable music moments at Massey Hall together! It's all thanks to music fans and supporters like you, whose dedication and enthusiasm continue to fill our historic venue with joy.

As we look towards the future during this season of giving, there’s much to celebrate! We are particularly excited about the diverse range of community impact and education programs that now have a permanent home at Allied Music Centre. When you name a seat, you're not just giving a gift — you're directly contributing to our ability to continue offering these vital programs free of charge. Imagine the students, emerging artists, and community groups who will benefit, thanks to your generosity.

This holiday season, dedicating a seat is more than a tribute to Massey Hall’s legacy; it’s a way to give back to our community and help shape an inspiring future for generations to come. Join us on this journey of giving by dedicating a seat today!
