Description:
This intriguing waterfront garden was designed as a physical interpretation of Bach's First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello. Landscape architect Julie Messervy collaborated with cellist Yo-Yo Ma to create the park, which features six different venues that correspond to the suite's six movements. The allemande becomes a birch forest; the menuett, a formal parterre with a pavilion; and the gigue, a stepped lawn centered around a stone stage. Not only is the site rife with visual and botanical interest, but it finds a common language between artistic disciplines and begs a bit of contemplation. You can pick up an audio tour at 539 Queen's Quay West; guided tours are avilable in the summer.
