Holst, Jupiter
Mythic, abandoned tunnels under the city and a long-standing desire to record flute music deep in these hidden, resonant spaces…Urban Flute Project comes from this original instinct to explore the trove of acoustic recesses in and around Toronto, and sculpts out new meaning and relevance for music-making in our modern day-and-age.
Urban Flute Project offers a unique perspective on our city, a convenient yet provocative way to get to know forgotten aspects Toronto in the midst of unprecedented renewal and change – a chance to celebrate the diversity and richness of even temporary spaces (as pictured here) that might otherwise be overlooked in the rush of the day-to-day.
Urban Flute Project weaves together so much of what I cherish and hold of value about Toronto:
- history and heritage
- architectural renewal and preservation
- parks and wonderful ravines
- diverse causes and organizations
…enjoy!
