Summer Construction

Welcome to Urban Flute Project! Refresh your senses and join me as I endeavour bring new relevance to classical flute in this fast-paced city…simply click on the ‘play’ icon to listen in on recent my musical adventures, or click on the Urban Flute Project banner at the top of your screen at any time to return to the opening home page.

Relax and enjoy musical ’snapshots’ of Toronto, and the rich natural acoustic of such locations as:

Historic Clock Towers at the Yorkville Fire Hall and Summerhill LCBO
Mount Pleasant Cemetery’s 1920’s granite and Marble Mausoleum
Don Valley Brickworks and other Sites in Transition
Gooderham & Warts Distillery District
Historic Churches of Saint James & Mary Magdalene
The Tollkeeper’s Cottage, unique in Canada
U of T’s Hart House & Soldiers’ Tower

Urban Flute Project provides a unique perspective on our city, a convenient way to get to know forgotten aspects of Toronto in the midst of unprecedented change and development - a chance to celebrate the diversity and richness that might otherwise be overlooked in the rush of the day-to-day.

Urban Flute uses music and photography as a catalyst for change, promoting community awareness and urban renewal…

Summer Construction? Urban Flute offers an ever-growing acoustic survey of Toronto and environs!
