Doors and bar open from 7pm. Music starts at 8pm.

This recital is a passion product born out of the strife of the Black Lives Matter movement. While witnessing the outright hatred hurled at BIPOC and LGBT, Freddie and Kunal felt it was time to build something that could celebrate their uniqueness, while still honouring those who fought and came before. The programme is based on four pillars, representing moments in our lives and in history. Isolation, titled “Shut me out” explores our forced separation from the rest of society, but also the peace we’re able to find within that removal. Damnation, titled “Going Up in Smoke” recalls the atrocities surrounding the AIDS Crisis. Remembrance or “Requiem” pays homage to those who did not live to see the progress we’ve made. And finally Revolution, titled “So Loud, So Proud” explores our resilience as a people, and our joy and pride which can never be extinguished. Overall, we wish this recital to leave the audience with feelings and joy and hope for the future.
