Agincourt Collegiate Institute concert

Om Saha Nāvavatu (may we all be protected and blessed) is a meditational sound journey, a 40-minute choral voyage. A soothing, calming soundscape, Om Saha Nāvavatu is an invitation to let go of anger, prejudice and negativity to embrace pluralism and peace, allowing the mind to meander and feel suspended in time. The introspective, transformative work is inspired by Vedic texts and the poetry of Hindu and Buddhist Spiritual Masters.

“Om Saha Nāvavatu is really a call for peace and hope in the world,” comments composer Timothy Corlis.
