Singing traditions - the stories shared through song that honour, remember, hope, dream, celebrate and over time create an interwoven sung memory of a culture and community. Traditions continue on today - teaching us, holding us and providing us with a structure in which we can evolve and create.
Rhythm 'n' Roots will be singing songs from around the world that have been born out of old vocal traditions yet created by living composers. We will share beautiful new songs or new interpretations from South Africa, Corsica, Sweden, Quebec, New England, Haiti and more... In our learning we've had the privilege of learning many of these songs directly from the composer or arranger or through the composer's videos and recordings. We are delighted to share this incredible music with you all.
Roots 'n' Wings' repertoire for this concert will reflect upon the milestones, the twists and turns, and the ups and downs of life unfolding. We will shed light on the wisdom that comes from struggle, lost love, and grief. We will examine the joy found in lessons learned, new love in all of its shapes and colours, and justice for all. In our seeking, we remember who we are and who has shaped us. We remember that our humanity unites us and that we are a continuation of what has been and what is yet to come.
