“Da Capo” :||
“Da Capo'' is the story of how two young people from diaspora populations navigate complex personal identities, find kinship within each other, and continue to nurture an ever growing and changing relationship with homecoming through the power of music, art, and community. Featuring works by Purich, Ho, Ramnath, Baker, Davidson, Kats-Chernin, Hisaishi, and Fauré.
“Home is a verb. Loving. Listening. Respecting. Honouring and remembering. Remembering to repeat. Repeating to remember. Home is growing, practicing, living with humility, kindness, and gratitude.”
