The Fountains
The water theatre at Whistling Gardens was inspired by Andre Le Notre’s 1634 design at the Palace of Versailles. It has over 100 water jets on 3 – 90 foot staircases and the stage floor.
About Our Fountain Shows
Music is specially written for the fountain program. Owner, Darren Heimbecker works with state-of-the-art digital technology in his home studio to complete the creative writing, editing, mixing and mastering. The latest in computer technology operates the fountain program.
Whistling Gardens incorporated Canada’s first computerized fountain pumps into its existing program in the fall of 2020. They are directly controlled from a computer without piping of any kind. Whistling Gardens owner Darren Heimbecker composes the music and choreographs the fountains’ shows.
