Remenyi House of Music, 210 Bloor St. West, will move to 109 Vanderhoof Ave early in the New Year, the company confirms. Remenyi has purchased the space now occupied by St. John’s Music and ultimately will have two locations after renovations at the Bloor St address.

In 1959, founder Zoltan Remenyi and his family fled Hungary and came to Canada
