Oakville choristers use music to celebrate diversity and connection

Choirs set to perform a commissioned piece by award-winning composer, Waleed Abdulhamid

It’s been more than two years since all seven of the choirs that make up the Oakville Choir for Children and Youth (OC) have been able to sing together at a live performance. To mark their triumphant return to the stage on Saturday, May 7 at St. John’s United Church in Oakville, the OC will be performing a concert called Raise Your Voice: Music That Reflects Our Global Connections.

“On May 7, our audiences will hear the results of this survey in a musical program that presents a wide variety of languages and has been generated through personal connections from our singers,” said Pauls. “It’s a wonderful way to celebrate who we are as a community as we emerge from this pandemic together.”

The concert, which can be livestreamed or attended in-person, will include a special commissioned song called “Rafiki Yangu” written by award-winning, multi-instrumentalist Waleed Abdulhamid. When composing the piece, Abdulhamid’s goal was to give the choristers the experience of being in a marketplace or a boisterous community gathering in Sudan. Sung in both Swahili and English, his song is an uplifting, celebratory piece that includes the refrain: “We are the nation and the next generation! We are the voice! We are the people!”
