WELCOME BACK! If there is one thing that has been made abundantly clear after the last year and a half, it’s that together is a great place to be. We are delighted to welcome you back to our venues and hope you are ready for what promises to be a wonderful season. As I reflect on the pause the BRAVO! series took this last year, it’s hard for me to put my finger on the thing that I missed most. I missed the energy that patrons and performers bring to our halls, I missed hearing the last note of a concerto hanging in the air, I missed the boundless creativity of theatrical performers, and I missed the moments of introspection that I seem to attain best when being truly inspired by the wonders of a live performance. I hope you will find something in a performance in the BRAVO! series that will move you, inspire you, or leave you thinking more deeply than before. Thank you for being here and for your support. Of all the places you could be tonight, we are glad you chose to spend an evening with us. Enjoy,
Bridget Benton BRAVO! Series Producer

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Choir! Choir! Choir! is a Toronto-based singing group led by creative directors Nobu Adilman and Daveed Goldman. The duo takes a nontraditional approach; there are no auditions, and the audience is the choir. Show up and they'll teach you an original arrangement to a song you love. Founded in 2011, Choir! Choir! Choir! has amassed a dedicated and passionate community of singers and a thriving international fan base on YouTube amassing tens of millions of views on some of their videos. The group has performed with renowned artists such as Patti Smith, David Byrne, Rick Astley, Tegan and Sara, and Rufus Wainwright, and onstage at New York’s Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall with the likes of Debbie Harry and The Flaming Lips. They’ve created content for NBC’s Jesus Christ Superstar with Hamilton’s Brandon Victor Dixon. And they’ve performed at the MET in New York for New York Pride and hosted their own float in Toronto Pride. They remembered Canadian music hero Gord Downie by performing Grace Too with the surviving members of the Tragically Hip to 10,000 fans in Toronto. Choir! Choir! Choir! exists to celebrate music and push the boundaries between practice and performance, artist and audience, offering therapeutic benefits with the ultimate side effect: a powerful community.
