With this special Canadian premiere performance by the world-renowned Lara Somos Ensemble, we honour the 50th anniversary of El Sistema, the revolutionary music education program that has transformed the lives of children and youth around the world.
This extraordinary vocal-instrumental ensemble was trained in El Sistema’s Special Education Program, which empowers young musicians with a wide range of hearing, visual, and cognitive differences. The super-virtuosity of Lara Somos’s close-harmony vocalists and multi-instrumentalists breaks barriers with every note, proving that music knows no limits.
Having performed on global stages with luminaries such as Sir Simon Rattle, Andrea Bocelli, Juan Diego Flórez, Plácido Domingo, and Itzhak Perlman, Lara Somos now brings its boundary-defying artistry to Canada for the very first time.
Don’t miss this rare and moving opportunity to experience the transformative power of music through a performance that radiates joy, unity, and excellence.
