Toronto Music Garden - Harbourfront
This summer and fall, enjoy free concerts of classical music and dance at The Toronto Music Garden. Tour the enchanted lakeside garden and beautiful landscapes designed by Julie Moir Messervy in collaboration with world renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and his interpretation of Bach’s Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello. All season long, free concerts will showcase Canadian artists of international renown. Before settling in for the concerts, enjoy a stroll through the beautiful gardens. Guided tours lasting 45 minutes start at the west end of the Garden's Prelude section.
