About the Toronto Music Garden

This delightful garden was designed by internationally renowned cellist Yo Yo Ma and landscape designer Julie Moir Messervy as a reflection in landscape of Bach's First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello.

Free music and dance programming is offered on-site during the summer months, along with guided and self-guided tours by Harbourfront Centre in partnership with the City of Toronto Department of Parks, Forestry and Recreation.
