    ABOUT THE Massey Hall Revitalization



    We find ourselves in an incredibly rare moment, as Massey Hall nears the finish line of the most significant renovation in its 129-year history.

    The expansion means four venues, including the remarkably restored Allan Slaight Auditorium and TD Music Hall, for artists, educators, and community groups with expanded programming. Beyond improved amenities and accessibility, students and communities will engage and connect through expanded Education and Outreach activity. Artists will be able to create and perform at every stage of their careers with tailored Artist Development support from the Halls. And music fans like you will be an integral part of an artist’s path to becoming headliners.

    Much like the Hall’s founding wishes, a Gift for the People, we are excited to gather with friends and sing loudly together once again in the revitalized Massey Hall. Your seat dedication will bring the joy of live performances to audiences and artists alike – because everything sounds sweeter together.
