Canada Ireland Foundation is proud to present a free online HD broadcast of our recent gala concert, Bound for Canada: A Musical Journey from Hardship to Hope. Recorded March 9, 2023 at the Toronto’s Winter Garden Theatre, Bound for Canada brings together celebrated musical talent from Ireland and Canada. Blending classical and traditional Irish music, the original orchestral score was created exclusively for Canada Ireland Foundation by renowned composer Odhrán Ó Casaide. The music is a tribute to the resilience of our Irish migrants who, in 1847, embarked on their perilous journeys. The concert is also an expression of gratitude for the compassionate response of the many brave and selfless Canadians who provided assistance to the thousands of desperate men, women and children who arrived on these shores that fateful summer. Performed with the North York Concert Orchestra, the Toronto Choral Society, and Ireland's Garda Band, with guest Belgian concertmaster Mathilde de Jenlis.
