[AN INDIGO CHRISTMAS… Kwanzaa Litanies]
Toronto Life suggests 8 ways to celebrate the holidays. First on its list is the Nathaniel Dett Chorale's concert, AN INDIGO CHRISTMAS… Kwanzaa Litanies
TorontoLife.com
The first performance in the Nathaniel Dett Chorale’s three-show season at Glenn Gould Studio is a gorgeous, Santa-free celebration of the holiday season. We can’t decide what we’re more excited to hear: The Ballad of the Brown King (a nine-movement epic set to text by poet Langston Hughes), the Nguzo Saba Suite (an exploration of the seven principles of Kwanzaa) or Adolphus Hailstork’s A Kwanzaa Litany. Dec. 18. $39.50. Glenn Gould Studio, CBC Building, 250 Front St. W., 416-340-0550, http://www.nathanieldettchorale.org. [The namesake of the Nathaniel Dett Chorale is R. Nathaniel Dett (1882-1943), who is profiled at AfriClassical.com, with a complete Works List by Prof. Dominique-René de Lerma of Lawrence University Conservatory.]
