The WCC is proud to present a program with such works as "Nôtinikêw: Going to War" by Andrew Balfour to honour those who gave their lives.
About this Event

The Windsor Classic Chorale has a longstanding tradition of presenting a concert every November to honour those who gave their lives during the First and Second World Wars so that we might live in freedom today. This year, the WCC is proud to present a program commemorating these sacrifices in song with such works as Nôtinikêw: Going to War by Andrew Balfour.

Andrew Balfour is a Canadian composer of Cree descent who is known for his innovative and spiritually driven works, including the anti-war oratorio Nôtinikêw: Going to War. Nôtinikêw, which means "Going to War," explores the stories of Indigenous soldiers who served in Canadian wars, particularly World War I, and the hardships they faced both on the battlefield and upon their return home.

There will be a reception immediately following the concert.
