On February 23 & 26, Toronto audiences will have the opportunity to experience a concert event unlike any other in the city. The Nathaniel Dett Chorale will take to the stage at the Glenn Gould Studio to present Voices of the Diaspora…Haitian voices, thanks to the generous support of TD Bank Group. The Chorale will also take this outstanding concert to Montreal on February 25th to the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul.

The concert will feature the music of Haitian-American composer Sydney Guillaume, who’s music is rich with the beautiful melodies and percussive rhythms that are indicative of Haitian traditions. Guillaume sets most of his music to the Crèole text of his father, Haitian poet Gabriel T. GUillaume. The marriage of this moving text and alluring music takes the listener to the heart Haiti and highlights the strength and spirit of this extraordinary nation.
