Song of Praise: A Chinese-Canadian Story

Donation protected
Song of Praise 

"Song of Praise" is a violin-piano recital program that explores our multidimensional identities as Chinese-Canadian immigrant classical musicians. The collection of diverse repertoire not only pays homage to our Chinese heritage, but also celebrates Western classical masterpieces and contemporary female Asian-Canadian composers such as Vivian Fung and Alice Ping Yee Ho. Through this program, we aim to share the important value of Chinese culture, traditions, stories, and art within the context of new Canadian music and classical Western music. This concert embraces the questions, challenges, and complexities of our multicultural upbringing to seek the power of musical experience when diverse circumstances of race, class, and gender come together to form who we are as people and artists.



We’re honoured and excited to be collaborating with Toronto-based poets Stanford Cheung and Alvin Wong. They will be reading their own works as well as sharing the powerful words of the Misty Poets.

We’re honoured and excited to be joined by Toronto-based poets Stanford Cheung and Alvin Wong for their poetry interval, “Crossing for Signs”. A selection of work by Misty poets such as Bei Dao and Duo Duo, as well as migrant poets Xuli Zhi and Zhen Xiaoqiong, will also be incorporated.  

Our Mandate

The TAG Duo reaches across languages, borders, and cultures to kindle a shared connection and understanding between people of diverse backgrounds. They actively seek to promote underrepresented groups such as female, LGBTQ+, and marginalized artists by advocating for the power of music to engage in difficult conversations, controversial debates, and express important messages in times of divide and hardship. They are committed to presenting music that explores their Chinese-Canadian heritage, both through traditional and new works by Asian composers.
