Massey Hall yesterday announced its reopening in November 2021. A first listing of events were announced including, a very special charity concert, The Andy Kim Christmas on Wednesday December 8th, 2021. For the last 17 years, Andy Kim has been gathering friends and fans together to celebrate the spirit and generosity of the musical community with all proceeds going to CAMH Gifts of Light.
"It's an honour for us to host a true Canadian music legend in Andy Kim and the institution known as The Andy Kim Christmas at Massey Hall. We've always admired Andy's selfless commitment to helping others, rallying his extensive circle of talented friends to put on one of the year's best nights of music, all while raising funds for CAMH Gifts of Light. It's an inspiring demonstration of music's power to bring people together and better our community. We can't wait for December," said Jesse Kumagai, President and CEO, Massey Hall.
"I have long wanted to do the Christmas show at Toronto's historic Massey Hall and with the support of Live Nation Canada, I am excited to be one of the first to perform after their revitalization and bring The Andy Kim Christmas back in front of a live audience. It has been many, many long months and hopefully we can once again raise an incredible amount of money for CAMH Gifts Of Light," said Andy Kim.
