As usually, Summer in Toronto is beyond busy. I am still making up my mind about where to go for Luminato (Capa wrote about the festival a few days ago). I've short-listed these events and will further narrow down the list when it comes to actually attending them:

The Ascension of Beauty by Mark Fast - an installation by a remarkable Canadian-born designer illustrates the synergy between fashion and art. June 11-20, Brookfield Place, 181 Bay Street. Free

Vienna Academy Orchestra - one of the worlds' most renowned orchestras performs Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert. June 12, Trinity St. Paul's, 427 Bloor Street West. $40.
