The Theme: A Celebration of Afrocentric Choral Music
Join TMChoir for a vibrant Singsation workshop, led by the esteemed Brainerd Blyden-Taylor, founder of The Nathaniel Dett Chorale. This special event marks the 25th Anniversary season of the Chorale, Canada’s first professional choral group dedicated to Afrocentric music of all styles, including classical, spiritual, gospel, jazz, folk and blues. This is a special opportunity to immerse yourself in a dynamic celebration of Afrocentric cultural heritage and musical excellence.
Your Conductor:
This workshop is conducted by Brainerd Blyden-Taylor.
Brainerd Blyden-Taylor is the Founder, Artistic Director and conductor of The Nathaniel Dett Chorale, Canada’s first professional chamber choir dedicated to the creation and performance of Afrocentric music of all styles. Born in Trinidad & Tobago, Mr. Blyden-Taylor immigrated to Canada in 1973. He founded The Chorale in 1998, in response to a musical void in Canada; there had never before been a professional ensemble dedicated to the dissemination of Afrocentric choral music. The response that The Chorale has received in Canada and the United States since its inception has certainly given credence to Mr. Blyden-Taylor’s vision. Learn more about Brainerd Blyden-Taylor.
The workshop will take place in Cameron Hall at Yorkminster Park Baptist Church.
Ticket: $15 (+ fees) online or $20 at the door
