Young Composers in Toronto, Canada

06-03-2026

Sistema Toronto’s students engaged in a term-long composition project with award-winning composer Aaron Manswell and the Nathaniel Dett Chorale (NDC). Students came up with the melody, musical hook, and lyrics on their chosen theme of “Trying.” The project culminated in a performance with the NDC at the end of May.
