SUMMARY:The Hymns to Freedom Project
DESCRIPTION:Award-Winning Artists Corey Butler and Jackie Richardson Say: “We are better together”\nin Special\, One-Night-Only Original Performance\, The Hymns to Freedom Project \nClassical Music Meets African American Negro Spiritual Song In This Unforgettable Production \nThe Hymns to Freedom Project\nSaturday\, May 5th @ 7:00pm\nToronto Centre for the Arts\n5040 Yonge St. N\, North York \nTickets Available Here \nTORONTO — April 13\, 2018 — Award-winning musicians Corey Butler and Jackie Richardson are set to come together in one unforgettable night to say through song: “We are better together.” \nThe Toronto Centre for the Arts will play host this May 5th\, 2018 to Butler’s one-of-a-kind compositions in The Hymns to Freedom Project. \nFeaturing original compositions and backed by a full Chamber orchestra\, the evening will blend together messages of love and unity among Classical music and African American Negro Spiritual song. \n“The Hymns to Freedom Project communicates the ideals of love\, respect\, and unity to this and the next generation. All who attend can expect to be deeply moved and challenged by world class compositions\, musicianship and the message that\, “We are better together.” \nWith a hat-tip to Oscar Peterson in its title\, The Hymns to Freedom Project will lay bare the ideals of love\, respect and unity to both this and the next generation\, having offered up a unique private viewing experience to area schools during dress rehearsals May 4th. \nTickets are available for Saturday\, May 5th for $45. VIP tickets\, which include an invitation to the exclusive VIP reception to follow\, are $65. \nThis special evening is presented in collaboration with Zamar Music Productions Inc. and Jones & Jones Productions\, and is supported by the Ontario Arts Council. \n// ABOUT THE HYMNS TO FREEDOM PROJECT \nThe Hymns to Freedom Project comes at a moment in our society of heightened racial tensions particularly between members of the black and white communities. In recent times\, several decades after the abolishment of slavery and the Civil Rights movement\, we still witness repeated incidents of police brutality resulting in the deaths of innocent black men\, white supremacists rallies with participants bearing torches and chanting racist slurs\, and racially controversial remarks coming from the most powerful political figure in the world. \nBut despite what we read in the headlines\, this is not the full story. The Hymns to Freedom Project communicates the truth that love and unity are more powerful forces than hate and discord. Inspired by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, award winning producer and composer\, Corey Butler\, created a show featuring his very own compositions which will be supported by a large Chamber Orchestra and renowned actress and singer\, Toronto’s own\, Jackie Richardson. The orchestra is comprised of avid and skilled players from all over the Greater Toronto Area and represented by many different cultural backgrounds. \nButler’s compositions are a fusion of Classical Music and the African American Negro Spiritual and highlights the seemingly unlikely influences the genres have on each other as well as their similarities. The tension and resolution in the pieces is juxtaposed against the historical and current racial environment and puts on clear display that when united\, our differences can blend together to create magical masterpieces. \n// ABOUT JACKIE RICHARDSON \nJackie Richardson is an electrifying\, award-winning\, world-class performer and one of Canada’s foremost singers of gospel\, blues and jazz whose career includes performances in concert\, radio\, television and recordings. She has performed across Canada and in countries around the world.

With that said\, Zamar Music Productions Inc. was established to affect the lives of underprivileged and marginalized people by exposing them to music and musical opportunities and to establish musical development programs for children and youth\, allowing them to be exposed to a medium of expression they wouldn’t normally be exposed to. \nOver the years\, Corey has mentored many young musicians and continues to do so at the College and University levels. He has a heart and passion to see the legacy of great musicianship and musical literacy continue throughout Toronto\, especially within his ethic community.
