Program note:

the chorus rolls from the ancestors through the now and is an assertion of what must come, us together into the future. It is an insistence, subversive, almost menacing…” — Lillian Allen

Composed for the The 52 Live at the invitation of director Evalyn Parry. The 52 Live brings the city’s history to life through theatre, monologue, and music spotlighting women who shaped Toronto as we know it today.
