Song of Praise is a personal project that started from our curiosity to connect Chinese heritage with our Canadian upbringing. It has grown and developed to become a celebration of diversity as well as an opportunity to introspect and consider our roles and personal responsibility in the world. There are many current issues highlighted by the COVID situation, and we wanted to take this opportunity to explore what we can do as artists and as a community to address these issues. As we progress through this program, we’d like to invite you to actively participate with us by thinking about three concepts: gratitude, awareness, and action. For example, What privileges are we thankful for during these difficult times? What injustices do we see or avoid seeing around us? What can we promise ourselves and each other in terms of changing our choices and behaviours to be more responsible and involved? Throughout the concert, please think about a wish or goal you could realize within the next month that contributes to our community- you could write on any issue or subject that resonates with you personally. We invite you to share your messages with us in the chat. We hope this gesture can hold us accountable to taking action and help us find new or reignited meaning in our identities and responsibilities, and thus contribute to building a better world together through our gratitude, awareness, and action.
