Toronto Music Gardens at Harbourfront
Admittedly, the Toronto waterfront is sorely lacking in many ways. However, the Toronto Music Garden demonstrates the potential for beauty that the waterfront holds. This project was inspired by the music of Bach and was designed by famed cellist Yo Yo Ma. It involves two acres of lush gardens that are intended to bring Bach's music to life with nature.
While the gardens are beautiful in and of themselves to enjoy an afternoon walk, the Toronto Music Garden holds free concerts most Sundays and Thursdays throughout the summer. The 2006 season is winding down, but there are still two opportunities to come down and enjoy a Sunday afternoon concert in the park. On September 10th (today) and September 17th at 4:00 p.m. you can come and enjoy some free classical music in a beautiful and serene setting on the waterfront.
The Toronto Music Garden is located at 475 Queens Quay West between Bathurst and Spadina. For more information on the concerts check out the official schedule. You can also visit the City of Toronto site which offers an interesting background regarding the design and inspiration of the gardens.

Thank you so much for this informative piece on the waterfront. My husband and I had a great time listening to the music and enjoyed a walk along the waterfront also.
