College Park Courtyard Lunch-Time Concert Series from June 28 — September 6
Re-energize every Wednesday from 12PM - 1:30PM at College Park Courtyard with Small World Music #PlayTheParks Downtown Yonge BIA.
Honeypaw is Interdisciplinary artist Jurgita Žvinklytė and musician/luthier Matti Palonen. They explore the interconnection of the Lithuanian polyphony style of sutartinė and the Finnish Kalevala runo singing traditions from a modern perspective, playing traditional kantele and jouhikko.
Wire Magazine and the Journal of Musicology have called their music “evocative”, as they straddle the line between the urban landscape of Toronto and the surrounding forests. In their Finnish and Lithuanian heritage, traditional instruments helped define the boundary between the human and forest realms. They have performed at festivals in Canada, Lithuania and Finland. A documentary about their tree harp project by Nicolas Pollock was aired on the national CBC Arts program Natural Collaborators in 2022.
Come be part of some fantastic lunchtime live performances from a variety of high-energy artists of all different styles while enjoying the sunshine.
