SUMMARY:Africville Stories
DESCRIPTION:Africville Stories starring Joe Sealy\, Jackie Richardson and the Nathaniel Dett Chorale. \nAfricville Stories is Joe Sealy’s new presentation that builds on his Juno award winning Africville Suite. Africville Stories will present poignant and uplifting new stories about the people and their community. These stories are the ones that you generally don’t hear when people speak of Africville. \nEstablished in 1847 “Africville” was nestled on the shores of the Bedford Basin at the north end of Halifax and was Canada’s oldest black community\, until it was raised in the late 1960’s as an “urban improvement” measure. Africville had to overcome a multitude of challenges but managed to survive for more than a century\, until the final building was demolished in 1970. The stories surrounding George Dixon\, Joe Louis\, Portia White and Duke Ellington combine to create the legacy of this unique Canadian community. \nAfricville Stories tells of this legacy in a narrative and musical journey. The Africville story continues right to the present time with a new tribute composition titled “The Seaview African United Baptist Church”. The re-construction of the church has been discussed for years and it is currently nearing completion on the site of Africville. Its construction is seen as a small step towards compensating the “Africville” community for injustices of the past. \nAfricville Stories will be performed by award-winning Canadian singer-storyteller Jackie Richardson. Composer/Pianist Joe Sealy\, has presented his Africville Suite in concert halls\, universities and music festivals across Canada\, Denmark\, Norway and the USA\, Joe Sealy has enjoyed a highly successful career as a musician\, composer\, recording artist and radio broadcaster. Recently he was appointed to the Order of Canada for his outstanding contributions to the arts. \nShare this
