The Nathaniel Dett Chorale

The Nathaniel Dett Chorale is Canada's first professional choral group dedicated to Afrocentric music of all styles, including classical, spiritual, gospel, jazz, folk and blues. These classically-trained, outstanding vocalists have shared the stage with internationally recognized artists such as Juno Award-winning jazz pianist Joe Sealy; opera star Kathleen Battle and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra; the Signal Hill Alumni Choir of Tobago, West Indies; and the Concert Choir of Hampton University, Virginia. The Chorale has also performed at events honouring world leaders Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Muhammad Ali. The Nathaniel Dett Chorale's vision is to be a premier performer of Afrocentric composers, and a touchstone for the education of communities regarding the full spectrum of Afrocentric choral music. The Chorale's mission is to build bridges of understanding, appreciation, and acceptance between communities of people through the medium of music. Connecting Through Afrocentric Music.
