The Woods Are Burning at the McMichael

Celebrating the life, art and passion of Tom Thomson

Follow Tom Thomson’s journey from his childhood singing in the church choir, wandering the woods and fishing in the bay, to his years in Toronto where he befriends the artists who would later form the Group of Seven, and north to Algonquin Park, where he discovers his true calling as an artist.

The ensemble features readings by novelist/poet Anne Michaels and music by David Sereda (piano and vocals), Keira McArthur (cello and vocals), Sandra Swannell (violin and vocals), Terry Young (mandolin and vocals) and Tyler Wagler (bass and vocals).

Please note that this performance takes place outdoors in front of the Tom Thomson Shack. Please dress accordingly.

Free with admission. Registration required.
