Hey there, time traveller!

A desire to be a good downtown neighbour is the idea behind Concerts for the City, a series of free noontime performances being offered by Holy Trinity Anglican Church.
“We don’t want to be just a mysterious building downtown with no connection to people on the streets or offices,” says Sandra Bender, Holy Trinity’s music minister.
The first concert in the series is titled She Belongs, scheduled for Friday at the historic church, located at 256 Smith St. It will feature music by female-identifying composers, performed by soloist Ashley Boychuk, pianist Lisa Rumpel and cellist Camilla Christophersen.

Soloist Ashley Boychuk will perform the first concert in a series of free noontime concerts at Holy Trinity Anglican Church.
Boychuk, who is also the music minister at Prairie Presbyterian Church, is working with Bender to organize the series. She was inspired to do it after spending time in Berlin, where she attended many concerts in old churches.
“It was so great to hear music in beautiful historic spaces,” she says, adding she wants to replicate that at Holy Trinity. “This church is a feast for the eyes, an incredible space, a perfect place for a concert.”
The series will focus on Manitoba musicians. “There are so many incredible musicians in the province,” she says.
For Holy Trinity rector Andrew Rampton, the concerts are a chance for people downtown to hear some good music and find respite from their day.
He noted the concerts complement the Lunchroom, a ministry the church operates that offers free meals twice a week.
“If we can offer food to those who are hungry, we can also offer beauty in the form of music,” Rampton says.
“We invite people to come as they are, let the music wash over them. Whether they need a musical hug, or just need a soundtrack for their thoughts, everyone is welcome.”
