## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What is the Under the Spire summer concert series?**
A: Under the Spire is a summer concert series held annually in the acoustically exceptional Historic St. Mary's Church in rural Prince Edward Island. The series features a diverse lineup of classical, traditional, folk, jazz, and world music performances. The church was designed by famed PEI architect William Critchlow Harris, who took inspiration from the inside of a violin, resulting in a French-Gothic building with world-renowned acoustics. Celebrating over 30 years, the nonprofit series attracts thousands of music lovers each summer. Beyond concerts, Under the Spire supports the restoration of its historic venue and offers season tickets, a calendar fundraiser, and donation opportunities. The intimate setting allows audiences to connect deeply with performers under a stunning 120-year-old vaulted ceiling.

**Q: Why is the acoustics at Under the Spire considered exceptional?**
A: The acoustics at Under the Spire, held in Historic St. Mary's Church, are considered exceptional due to the church's unique French-Gothic architecture designed by William Critchlow Harris. Harris took his inspiration from the inside of a violin, creating a building specifically for music with a vaulted ceiling that naturally amplifies and enriches sound. This design results in a clear, resonant acoustic environment that has gained an international reputation among performers and audiences. The 120-year-old structure's wooden interior and high, curved ceiling contribute to the superior sound quality, making it a favourite venue for classical, folk, and jazz artists. The intimate setting further enhances the auditory experience, allowing every note to be heard with precision.

**Q: How can I get tickets for the Under the Spire summer concert series?**
A: Tickets for the Under the Spire summer concert series can be purchased directly through the official Under the Spire website. The 2026 season tickets are currently available for sale. Visitors can view the full concert lineup and buy tickets online. Additionally, Under the Spire offers a calendar fundraiser where supporters can purchase a calendar for $20 each, with proceeds supporting the concert series and venue restoration. As a nonprofit organization, Under the Spire also accepts donations to help keep the magic of music alive. For those interested in season passes, the website provides details on subscription options.
