Choir members will be scattered throughout the beautiful grounds of the Toronto Botanical Gardens while concert goers stroll through experiencing pockets of song, including new works from our Choral Creation Lab composers. The Songwalk will culminate with the full choir and band performing the world premiere of the new work on the outdoor stage.
In case of rain, the performance will take place at Jubilee United Church.
This is a FREE event!
