Chorus of Courage Project Shares “Sweet Little Hummingbird” Single
Chorus of Courage share first song, “Sweet Little Hummingbird,” from collective project that aims to give a voice to survivors of violence.
Chorus of Courage shares the first song, “Sweet Little Hummingbird,” from the collective project’s upcoming recording, which aims to give a voice to survivors of violence. The Single reflects the lived experience of storyteller Denyse, as interpreted by Toronto folk singer-songwriter Julian Taylor.
The song will be featured on the collaborative album Always By Your Side, due out on March 22nd (via Dare to Defy Records). It is a moving record that stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of all voices and advocates for a world where voices are heard, honoured, and empowered.
Chorus of Courage is a space created to hold and honour the voices and stories of survivors of violence. They came together and became friends and allies – a supportive family. They created a home to explore some of the most difficult experiences one can imagine – a retreat – and did it with love, music, silence, acceptance, guidance, connection, and movement, hand in hand. This project explores the entire spectrum of emotions that are felt through the unique experiences of the ones to honour – the storytellers.
The essence of the project lay in creating a dynamic conversation through music. Initially, the five songwriters collaborated closely with the storytellers to translate their experiences into songs. These songs, along with letters from the storytellers, were then shared with the allies. In response, allies contributed their songs, fostering a unique call-and-response exchange of emotion and empathy. Through this musical dialogue, the project aims to inspire, amplify voices, and catalyze positive change, uniting participants in a shared journey of resilience and hope.
