Nai Syrian Children's Choir Premiere Hussein Janmohamed‘s Rise Children, Rise to Peace for Serenade!

Commissioned by Classical Movements' Eric Daniel Helms New Music Program for Serenade! Choral Festival 2018.
In 2016, a Canadian choir was formed to provide free music education to recently arrived refugee children from Syria. A mere two years later, the Nai Syrian Children's Choir was invited to sing during Classical Movements' 8th annual Serenade! Choral Festival "Mandela at 100: Songs of Hope, Justice & Unity" grand finale.
However, Nai was unable to travel to the United States.
Instead, a special recording was made of these tender-aged children performing two songs, including the world premiere of “Rise Children, Rise to Peace,” composed by Hussein Janmohamed.
Conductor - Hussein Janmohamed
Cellist - Kirk Starkey
