Voices of the Diaspora … Let Us Remember … A Child of Our Time
Wednesday, Feb.18, 8:00 pm
Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre – 427 Bloor St. W
Commemorating the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz – and of the work itself, The Nathaniel Dett Chorale, under the direction of Brainerd Blyden-Taylor, will perform Michael Tippett’s secular cantata A Child of Our Time. Inspired by the events of Kristallnacht, Tippett saw the interconnection between Black and Jewish communities as the result of oppression. As a compliment to this significant repertoire, the concert will begin with readings from American poet, Langston Hugh’s Let Us Remember – a six poem cycle that was commissioned in 1964 by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations. African spirituals will be interpolated as song bridges between the poems.
