If Canada was a show, this is the show Canada would be...

Over 50 performers come together into one integrated, historical narrative showcasing the roots and development of our Canadian musical heritage in this unique and exciting, ninety-minute, multilingual musical production.

From the drum beats, voices, colourful regalia and dancing of the First People to traditional Québecois, Métis, Celtic and Acadian songs and dances; to the marches of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; from Jazz to Country, Folk and the last one hundred years of pop and rock, and Canada’s contribution to television, film and the world stage, A Musical Taste of Our Canadian Heritage/Notre patrimoine canadien, une odyssée musicale shows how music can stimulate, inspire and inform an audience about key social and cultural transformations in the making of modern Canada.

Audiences relate to this history of Canada through music in ways they have never been able to relate to Canadian history before with enthusiasm, interest and passion.
