From choral songs to jazz ensembles, and blues club crawls to Massey Hall, join us for a walking tour along Yonge St. that considers the vibrant musical history of downtown Toronto. This tour will examine the venues, recordings, instruments, and performances that enriched the Yonge Street music scene through the lens of the virtuoso Canadian jazz pianist, Oscar Peterson, whose centenary is celebrated in 2025!
We will start the walk at the St. James Cathedral grounds in Old Town Toronto and make our way to Turko Parkette in the Downtown Yonge neighbourhood.
Meeting Location: 106 King Street East, St. James Cathedral Grounds, by the gazebo
End Point: 419 Yonge Street, Turko (McGill)Parkette
