You are invited to sing Neil Young's powerful protest song – "Who's Gonna Stand Up?" – on Parliament Hill as part of a participatory choir led by Andy Rush. All ages and abilities are welcome, and no experience is required! ------------- Schedule ------------- (a) Saturday afternoon, November 29 at 1:00 pm Rehearsal #1 Hub Ottawa (71 Bank Street between Queen and Sparks) (b) Sunday morning, November 30 at 11:00 am Rehearsal #2 Hub Ottawa (c) Sunday afternoon, November 30 at 1:00 pm Performance on Parliament Hill --------- We acknowledge and honour the Algonquin Peoples on whose unceded land this event is taking place. --------- Information: Chris White, chris@folkzone.ca, 613-327-9621 --------- Written by Neil Young in support of Aboriginal rights and on behalf of the children of the future, "Who's Gonna Stand Up?" is an urgent plea to halt the environmental devastation currently being inflicted on the earth. After asking some vital questions – "Who's gonna stand up and save the earth? Who's gonna say that she's had enough?" – the song ends with a call to action, reminding us that, "This all starts with you and me!" Kingston-based director and arranger Andy Rush is known for his brilliant work in leading participatory choirs at events such as the Blue Skies Festival and the Ottawa Folk Festival. His 5-part vocal arrangement of "Who's Gonna Stand Up?" includes a children's chorus representing the future generations on whose behalf the song is being sung. Algonquin poet, storyteller and traditional teacher Albert Dumont (Kitigan Zibi) will welcome all participants. Ottawa musicians Ann Downey, Alrick Huebener, Tim Aylesworth and Jack Pyl will accompany the choir. No speeches will be made! |
