Sharing Our National Dett

The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is no stranger to prominent people: over its ten-year history, the Toronto-based Choir has sung at events honouring Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu and Mohammed Ali. But last months engagements in Washington DC were in many ways unprecedented, thrusting the group on to the world stage.

Let My People Go

I had the opportunity to attend Nathaniel Dett Chorale’s latest offering, Voices of the Diaspora: Let My People Go at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, George Weston Hall. The evening commemorated the 200 th anniversary of the abolition of the Slave Trade in the British Empire (March 25, 1807).

Voices, spirits soar in Amherstburg

In the early 19th century, Amherstburg attracted many African-American slaves seeking freedom in Canada. This past weekend, the town attracted many visitors who wished to pay homage to those slaves through the Freedom Landing Festival.
