Hamilton\u2019s newest live music venue is ready to showcase talent from across the region and beyond. New Vision United Church, the 150-year-old building located at 24 Main St West, formerly known as Centenary Church, is in the process of being transformed to comply with music industry standards while retaining its primary function as a place of worship. In a creative bid to better serve and engage with the wider community, the church congregation is opening their doors to the music industry and its patrons, providing new context to the site as a 1,000-seat live performance venue, \u2018The Music Hall\u2019.<\/p>\n

The church has already played host to several high-profile entertainment events, such as a \u2018Welcome to Hamilton\u2019 benefit concert to raise money for newcomer\/refugee youth as a part of Hamilton\u2019s Supercrawl festival, headlined by The National, with performances by Kevin Drew, Hayden, JUNO Fest 2015, with musical guests including Joel Plaskett, Jenn Grant, and Mo Kenney, and a folk-rock performance by musician Terra Lightfoot. There is also an upcoming concert on November 18th<\/sup> with acclaimed Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Lanois, with tickets available for sale online now.<\/p>\n

The church will be seeking a heritage designation, which will describe the cultural heritage value of the building and guide its renovation work. ERA is working in an architectural consultancy capacity to meet critical building code requirements for fire-rating and washrooms. The next phase of work will include a ticket booth, upgraded seating and acoustics, and a renovated entrance lobby. To garner a sense of the needs of the patrons and discuss what other uses could compliment the building as a concert venue, the firm is attending the New Vision open house on Thursday, October 26th <\/sup>from 5:00 \u2013 7:00pm. The event is free to attend and all members of the public are welcome to attend. Please come with your ideas for transformation!<\/p>\n

The schedule for the evening:<\/p>\n
