SALON 21
Let's share our musical worlds!
"Soundstreams has allowed me to broaden my musical horizons and opened me up to new musical forms. Indeed, it has changed what is the very notion of "music"." (Andrew Kwong from the Victoria Scholars, Toronto)
"I thought last night [Salon 21] was a beautiful evening! It took me away from my daily thoughts to a different place." A guest at Salon 21
Soundstreams creates a fresh and atmospheric meeting place in the heart of Toronto. You are invited to our monthly events at the Gardiner Museum.
