Toronto Botanical Garden is a lush oasis in the heart of the city, where the wonders of nature and beauty come together. The garden is home to a diverse collection of plants, linked to walking trails through Toronto’s ravine, and connected with an array of educational programs, tours, events, and immersive experiences. Whether you’re a nature enthusiast, arts and culture lover, or simply looking for a fun day outdoors with the family, there’s something for everyone at the Garden.

Tafelmusik at the Garden
Painted in Sound: Venice and Beyond
For centuries, Venice has inspired artists with its beauty and vibrant culture. For composers like Vanhal and Mysliveček, the city offered a gateway into Italian musical life at the turn of the 19th century. It was also during this period that the double bass emerged as a true solo and chamber instrument, thanks in no small part to the virtuosity of Venetian-born Domenico Dragonetti.
This program explores the expressive possibilities of an unusual trio: violin, cello, and double bass. Through the elegant voices of Mysliveček in Venice, and Albrechtsberger and Michael Haydn in Vienna, we hear the bass in a bold new role—no longer just foundational, but lyrical, agile, and expressive.
The result is a rich sound world where classical style meets daring invention, redefining the boundaries of chamber music.
