Region : Greater Toronto Area     City: Toronto

  •  Add to Calendar 2019-06-23 2019-06-23 America/Toronto Maada'ookii Songlines at Luminato Stand by the water and close your eyes; listen. Is there a drum-like pulse in the sound of the city? A single voice raising its melody to the stars? Or a noisy fury blaring out a cacophony of frustrations and dreams? Maada’ookii Songlines features 200 voices from 8 choirs, 4 soloists and a fusion Indigenous musical ensemble in a new massive choral experience composed by Luminato veteran, Juno Award-nominated cris derksen. As the sun descends and this free outdoor massive choral event begins, the city will be enveloped in sound coming from the land, water and from above. A soundtrack for the city, the performance will envelope you in layers of harmonious sound, powerful histories and a promise: “as long as the sun shines as long as the waters flow downhill and as long as the grass is green.” Maada’ookii Songlines is a reminder that whatever our backgrounds may be, we all come from the stars.
