And Still We Sing... You Asked Me To Speak will celebrate Juneteenth with Canadian premieres of works by Brian Nabors, Jerrell R. Gray, and Aaron Manswelll; as well as the cantata ‘Make Me A World’ by Canadian composer Ruth Watson Henderson.

In the spirit of inclusion, diversity, equity and access, The Chorale will introduce ASL Interpretation to its programming at this performance, featuring interpreters from Phoenix The Fire. This long-overdue addition will become a part of the ensemble’s regular performance practice.
