Windsor Classic Chorale to Present Remembrance Show in Chatham
The Windsor Classic Chorale will present a remembrance program as part of Andrew's United Church's Saturdays at 7 series.
The program, titled Notinikew, was composed and narrated by Indigenous artist Andrew Balfour. Notinikew, meaning "going to war" in Cree, explores the stories of Indigenous soldiers who fought for Canada during the First World War.
Despite their courage and sacrifice, these soldiers returned home to a country that denied them the very rights and freedoms they had fought to defend.
Through powerful choral music and narration, Balfour's work gives voice to a history too often forgotten. The show will take place on November.
