Lawrence Park Church says no to Valentina concert

The pastor of Lawrence Park Community Church has cancelled the concert that was never really scheduled. John Suk says he  has no idea how anyone thought they had permission to have a concert at the Bayview Ave church.  But word was sent out somehow that contentious Ukrainian-born pianist Valentina Lisitsa would be performing a free concert there. “Normally, before you advertise an event, you ask the people if you can have it there,” Suk said Friday. “No one did any of that. We’re totally blindsided by this. We gave no permission and next thing you know, the phone’s ringing off the hook.” The church is at 2180 Bayview at Dawlish Ave.
