Harbourfront Centre is Canada’s foremost centre for contemporary culture. Since programming began in 1974, it has been a reflection of the cultural diversity and innovative spirit of Toronto.  Attracting more than 3 million visitors annually, the non-profit charitable organization sits on 10 acres of revitalized waterfront land.  Now presenting over 4,000 events each year, the Centre’s professional staff works with more than 450 community groups and organizations in the development of programming.

A leader in music presentation, Harbourfront Centre has created several programs to introduce audiences to the world of music. Cushion Concerts educates younger audiences about classical music while blending performances with delightful stories. The free weekly Sunday Concerts showcase the best in world, jazz and folk music for families, while the City of Toronto’s nearby Toronto Music Garden presents classical music concerts in a setting inspired by the music of Bach.  The summer festival series, Rhythms of the World, presents concerts within weekend events including the popular annual blues and jazz festivals. The Centre’s many venues also act as popular rental facilities for musical acts.
