Tafelmusik at the Garden: Midsummer Follies
~ June 30 at 2:00PM – 3:15PM ~
Toronto Botanical Garden, 777 Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto M3C 1P2
$25.00
We welcome the summer solstice with musical follies.
We look beyond the courtly music of the baroque to the dance music and songs that were popular in the cafés, taverns, and country fairs. Our midsummer celebration takes us from the British Isles to northern Europe, and from France to New France, featuring music that migrated across the Atlantic and remain part of the Québecois folk tradition today.
