Free Concert Saturday: Holidays of the Global Village

Another great event is happening in our neighbourhood, this one aimed at a younger crowd and their families:
"At 1 pm, Saturday November 27, JUNO nominee, 3x Parents' Choice Award winner & CFMA winner, Chris McKhool, celebrates Canada's multicultural mosaic at Trinity St. Paul's Centre.

Presented by: Small World Music Society.

All funds raised at the concert are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank and ArtsCan Circle

Celebrate! Holidays of The Global Village is an interactive and playful musical journey into the myriad of holidays, customs and festivities enjoyed in the North-American Fall and Winter. Children will learn traditional and original songs encouraging them to share our diversity with neighbours and friends.

Inspired by travels across Canada and around the world, "Celebrate!" is a groundbreaking collaboration with musicians from diverse cultures. It features songs about holidays from across the globe that are celebrated here in Canada, including Bodhi Day (Buddhist), Carnival (Quebec), Chanukah, Chinese New Year, Christmas, Diwali, Eid, Indigenous traditions, Kwanzaa, Ramadan and Winter Solstice.

"Celebrate!" was developed as a response to the lack of programming for young audiences and families that integrates diverse cultures and holidays into one coherent vision. While there are many worthy public concerts and programs that take place in the fall/winter holiday season that celebrate specific holidays such as Christmas, Chanukah, Diwali etc, there is no concert program in Toronto that aims to bring so many holidays together under one roof in this way.

Special Guests:

Suba Sankaran, Aviva Chernick, Shannon Thunderbird, Maryem Hassan Tollar, Ernie Tollar, Kevin Laliberte, Drew Birston & Jordan Klapman!

At: Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor Street West, Toronto

Playing: Saturday

Times: 1:00pm

Cost: FREE - monetary donations and non-perishable food items greatly appreciated!"
Enjoy!
