Are you free March 1st between the hours of one and four in the afternoon?  Do you have a child between the ages of seven and twelve that loves all things chivalrous?  Or maybe just an adventurous child?  Then the Casa Loma Kid’s Club is exactly where you want to bring your son or daughter because tomorrow afternoon they are going to get the chance to become a knight and learn everything they can about the world of knights, damsels in distress and chivalry.  Those times might be centuries over, but they exist strongly in the imaginations of many kids.

The Rainbow Market Square Gallery, which started a 4-in-1 art show exhibit at the start of this month, will be having its last day on exhibition tomorrow.  The gallery is full of a number of beautiful paintings that are located within the heart of historic St. Lawrence Market downtown.  If you are a painting fan, then it would be a good idea to pay St. Lawrence Market a visit tomorrow and take in all of the different paintings that are available at the gallery including the 4-in-1 exhibit before they go off display.

One of the reasons that Toronto is such a great place to visit is that there are a lot of events that go on within the city that are free to attend.  Another reason that Toronto is such a great place to visit is that the culture of the city gives way to musical, artistic and theatrical presentations of great works that have a little flavour of the city in them as well.  These two things combine in the Noon Hour Choir event which will commemorate its 11th annual free recital at Roy Thomson Hall on Thursday.

Three great composers will be finding their place downtown in what is going to be one of the best concert events to be put on this year in Toronto.
Mozart

Mozart has a number of distinctions as a composer, not least of which is his ability to be consistently prolific throughout his whole life.  He actually put out over 600 different compositional works throughout his lifetime and many of them are still considered classics today, showing how influential he was in his classical compositional skin.
At one point in the year 1783, Mozart and his wife had stopped over in the town of …read more

When the Liberal government was elected late last year, one of the promises that Dalton McGuinty made to Ontarians was that he would create another statutory holiday for them to participate in.
The result of that promise is Family Day, a provincial holiday that will be occuring next Monday, February 18th. 
Because the point of Family Day is supposedly for people to spend time with their families, I thought I’d put together a short list of things that you can do on Family Day should you wish to leave the house or hotel and go out on the town.  Now, this is …read more

George Frideric Handel was born in 1685 in Germany and is most definitely one of the best known German composers.  He is famous for his composition of operas, of which Tamerlano is one.
Tamerlano premiered in the King’s Theatre in London on October 31, 1724.  It was actually co-produced by Italian lyricist Nicola Francesco Haym, although Handel was able to produce the music to this masterpiece in less than three weeks time!  Ever since its premier, Tamerlano has been very popular all over the world and it is performed at many different times throughout the year in some of the most …read more

Well, as it turns out, after being sick for a couple of weeks, getting life back into order can be difficult.  I’ve been juggling school and work for the last few days in order to try and get things back on track, so I unfortunately haven’t really had the time to put anything together for The Toronto Traveler.  Just bear with me another day though and I think I should be able to have things back on track.
In the meantime, here’s what’s going on in the T-dot right now:
