Summary This book traces the first 30 years of what was initially known as 'New Massey Hall'. Arthur Erickson's iconic design quickly became a symbol of a vibrant city emerging on the world stage. Home to the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, the hall has welcomed a range of acclaimed artists and lecturers, film presentations, and corporate events. The authors provide a background to the musical history of Toronto and an intimate portrait of the hall's changes over the years
