Toronto Music Garden

A lakeside garden shaped like a Bach cello suite

Hours: Dawn to dusk
Tickets: Free
Address: 479 Queens Quay West, on the lakefront

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy turned Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 into a garden. Its six movements become six areas along winding paths. You walk from the wooded Prelude to the amphitheatre at the end. In summer there are free concerts on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Free to enter, with a cool lake breeze, it is a good place to sit.
