Let Us Cheer the Weary Traveller

Sunday, February 16th

Join Pro Coro Canada for an unforgettable evening of choral music as they team up with esteemed guest conductor Brainerd Blyden-Taylor to explore the rich and evocative works of Nathaniel Dett. Nathaniel Dett, a pioneering Black composer, was renowned for his innovative use of African-American folk songs and spirituals as the foundation for his choral compositions, blending classical forms with the deep, resonant traditions of African-American music.

Under the expert direction of Blyden-Taylor, who has devoted much of his career to researching and promoting Dett’s music through his acclaimed professional ensemble, The Nathaniel Dett Chorale, this concert promises to be an emotional and educational musical journey. Audiences will be drawn into the soulful beauty and profound cultural significance of Dett’s compositions, experiencing the power and grace of his work in a deeply moving way. Whether you’re a longtime fan of choral music or new to the genre, this evening offers a rare opportunity to engage with the legacy of one of the most important Canadian figures in African-American musical history.

The CKUA Events Calendar is a listing of music, arts, and culture happenings for the whole province. It is a terrific resource that CKUA offers to the community, to share details about concerts, gallery openings, plays, and films.

Please note that due to the amount of listings, we publish events that focus on music, arts, or culture. While we'd love to publish all submitted items, the sheer number of events means that we sometimes have to decline submissions.
