Echo: Memories of the World
Embark on a global journey of discovery with the Gryphon Trio,
mezzo-soprano Marion Newman Nege’ga,
and narrator čačumḥi Aaron Wells
Artists serve as custodians and storytellers of our shared heritage, their creative expressions transcending time and space to connect us across generations. Yet, throughout history and even today, certain memories and voices have been marginalized, silenced and stolen.
Embarking on a remarkable global journey, the Gryphon Trio together with mezzo-soprano Marion Newman Nege’ga, and narrator čačumḥi Aaron Wells take listeners through a mesmerizing multimedia concert that transcends time and space.
Uniting a diverse ensemble of Indigenous and non-Indigenous composers, Echo weaves a tapestry of music by visionaries like Andrew Balfour, Eliot Britton, Ian Cusson, Ry Moran, Kelly-Marie Murphy, Marion Newman, Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Shostakovich and contemporary Ukrainian composer Valentin Silvestrov.
Recounting experiences and stories from the lands now known as Canada, Norway, Germany and Ukraine, "Echo" is not just a performance; it is a love letter to the richness of diverse cultural expressions, an emotionally charged exploration of history's erasures, and a celebration of artists and knowledge keepers who defy suppression to breathe life into enduring works of profound significance. And more than music, Echo is a celebration of the courageous work of knowledge keepers, cultural heritage workers and artists who safeguard and transmit knowledge to future generations. It is an offering to inspire collective commitment to preserving our shared history.
As we navigate a world where beauty and horror coexist, "Echo" urgently calls for reparation and reconciliation. By honoring the richness and complexity of our diverse human family, this concert offers a powerful tribute to the spirit of healing and unity through diversity.
Secure your tickets now and be part of a transformative evening that transcends boundaries, connects generations, and honors the resilience of the human spirit. Don't miss out on this extraordinary celebration of culture and history.
