It is sure to be a memorable night of music and dining on Friday, November 7, as St. Simon’s presents An Elegant Evening with Sidebar at the St. Volodymyr Cultural Centre (1250 Dundas St. W., Oakville). Doors open at 6:00 PM. 

Guests will enjoy a four-course gourmet dinner followed by a heartfelt concert from Sidebar, the beloved jazz-pop-gospel ensemble that has been uplifting audiences and raising funds across the Diocese of Niagara for more than 25 years. Formed by members of St. Simon’s in Oakville, Sidebar features three vocalists in tight harmony, supported by a talented band on guitar, bass, piano, and drums. 

Over the years, Sidebar has raised over $500,000 for churches and charities, both beyond and within the Niagara Diocese, including at St. Simon’s, St. Cuthbert’s, and Grace Waterdown, always offering their musical gifts as volunteers. This event marks their final performance, with members returning from British Columbia and Brighton to reunite for this special farewell St. Simon’s fundraiser. 

Tickets are $125 each and include a $25 tax receipt. To reserve your seat, please contact admin@stsimon.ca.
