Chorus Niagara presents A CHILD OF OUR TIME
Sir Michael Tippett’s powerful oratorio A Child of Our Time was composed in 1941 in response to the horrors of Kristallnacht. Described by BBC Music Magazine as ‘one of the great seminal works that define the spirit of the 20th century’, Tippett’s work remains a compelling call for unity in a divided world. Drawing inspiration from African-American spirituals Nobody Knows the Trouble I’ve Seen, Steal Away, Deep River and others, this magnificent masterwork will be performed by 160 voices, full orchestra and world-renowned soloists.

Orlando by Virginia Woolf, adapted by Sarah Ruhl

Join Orlando and the ensemble as they salsa dance with gender, dash through carefully cut English gardens, and land centuries farther than they began with the same question: can we learn who we truly are in a world constructed to tell us who we should be?

As the (worldly and un-) personalities clash, an unfortunate incident leads to further chaos for Charles.
