A Safe Place to Land: a choral concert in support of the Halifax Refugee Clinic

Choirs for Change is proud to present A Safe Place to Land, a joint concert experience with our Polaris and Astra choirs.
The programme tells a story of journeys undertaken and new places found, told through a blend of cultures with histories of displacement. We're exploring these stories through lots of lenses—by including a song centred on turletting, a traditional vocal technique from Acadian culture, partnered with a Middle Eastern folk song about welcoming friends to the kitchen table through a gesture of shared coffee. Halifax-based oud player Simon Achkar joins the ensembles.
Choirs for Change is partnering with the Halifax Refugee Clinic for this concert. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to further their excellent work providing legal representation for those claiming refugee status in Nova Scotia.
If you can't make it to the concert on November 29, join us at First Baptist Church on November 30! Details here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1498463804694311?
