There are fewer and fewer religious people in the world. It got to the point that some denominations are forced to sell the buildings of churches that have lost their parishioners. This also happened in Montreal. The building of the cathedral there was turned into a concert hall Bourgie Concert Hall … Moreover, a well-known jewelry company also took part in the arrangement of this structure. Tiffany.
Tiffany store windows are often decorated by world famous designers, for example, Timothy Martin. But this company itself is engaged in similar activities. For example, she co-founded the Bourgie Concert Hall in Montreal.
The Bourgie Concert Hall is based on an old Catholic church sold to private owners due to low attendance at religious services in it. This room is part of the Montreal's Museum of Fine Art. And, in addition to concerts (planned for 120 per year), it will also host permanent and temporary exhibitions of contemporary Canadian artists. In total, eleven percent of the museum's fund will move here.
The central Bourgie Concert Hall now seats 300 spectators. At the time of the church, this figure was one and a half times less, but the architects of the concert hall managed to increase it by reducing the area of the altar, turning it into a stage.
The advocates of religion need not be indignant. The Bourgie Concert Hall will not host any "satanic" rock concerts. This will be the venue for classical music and jazz. And even all sixteen stained-glass windows with religious themes will remain in place. Moreover, they have been reconstructed and updated. And this work was carried out by the best specialists of the world famous jewelry company Tiffany.
