Toronto Early Music Players Organization
The Toronto Early Music Players Organization (TEMPO) is a group of amateur musicians who promote the appreciation of early music. We provide a venue for amateur musicians to play together in professionally coached sessions. Workshops on various topics in early music run monthly from September to May with a new coach each month. TEMPO was founded in 1984 and welcomes new members!
Workshop information
Our venue has changed! Please read!
Workshops run monthly on Sundays, September to May, 1:30 pm to 4:00 pm.
Our new venue is The Bishop Strachan School (BSS). We will be playing in the Main room of the Student Centre.
Entry/Exit
TEMPO participants should enter and exit BSS via the Atrium, also called the Senior School entrance, off Russell Hill Rd. It is best to route to 365 Russell Hill Rd, rather than the BSS official address, as BSS on map apps brings you to Lonsdale Rd. The recommended Russell Hill Rd entrance is a lot closer to the Student Centre.
Parking
We can park at the School at both the Russell Hill and Lonsdale entrances. If parking at the Lonsdale entrance, we have to make our way to the Atrium entrance via the exterior of the school. Parking is also available on surrounding streets.
Sessions will also be livestreamed on Zoom for those who cannot attend in person.
Those attending in person will need to bring their music, a stand, and their instrument.
