The program also includes Tale from Rudy Perrault’s Exodus string quartet dedicated to all people forced to leave their homeland, Chrysallis devient papillon ("Chrysalis Becomes Butterfly") which is a metaphor for positive transformation by Sabrina CD Jean Louis, the Haitian classic Choucoune, Daniel Bernard Roumain's Klap Ur Handz, and more!
