Voices from the African Diaspora is a captivating voice and piano recital that shines a spotlight on the profound contributions of Black composers to the world of classical music—an area that has been too often overlooked. This inspiring program, featuring the celebrated Canadian mezzo-soprano Catherine Daniel and acclaimed pianist Gordon Gerrard, invites audiences on a musical journey through the works of composers whose voices echo the vibrant and diverse heritage of the African diaspora.

The evening will feature a stunning selection of pieces by Maria Thompson Corley, Carmen Brouard, Rosephayne Powell, Édourard J. Woolley, and Lena J. McLin, whose compositions weave together deep cultural roots, powerful narratives, and unique perspectives. Join us as we celebrate the richness, resilience, and artistry of Black composers in a recital that promises to be as moving as it is enlightening.
