Acrpost: A Project of the Pacific Association of Artist Run Centres

Event Description

Epic anthems unite us and are the soundtrack to our lives. And in Canada, there are none more epic than the anthems from The Tragically Hip. When a space filled with hundreds (or thousands) of strangers starts to harmonize, you’ll feel it deep in your soul.

Join us in Springer Market Square and mark 10 years to the day of the final concert of The Tragically Hip, with an unforgettable evening of live performances.

Join Choir! Choir! Choir! for the ultimate Forever Hip singalong community event and sing your way through the greatest songs of The Tragically Hip. Since 2011, Choir! Choir! Choir! directors Daveed Goldman and Nobu Adilman have blurred the lines between performer and audience, traveling the world to create harmony with strangers and friends alike. They’ve collaborated with renowned artists like Patti Smith, David Byrne, Brandi Carlile, Rick Astley, Rufus Wainwright, and even Kermit the Frog at New York’s Lincoln Center, and creating memorable videos that have garnered millions of views. Choir! Choir! Choir! leads a fully interactive, participatory show that turns audiences into performers. All voices are welcome; no experience is necessary.

Rockin’ the Square will also feature a very special set of live performances by notable Kingston musicians including Miss Emily, The Abrams, and Kasador’s Cam Wyatt and Thom Draper with more to be announced, as they pay tribute to the music of The Tragically Hip.

This special event is free to attend. Show starts at 7 p.m.
