Baha’i hymnody* and suitcase drums at the National Gallery: "
A musical group from Montréal, The Hidden Words.Montréal, Québec, 26 April 2011 (CBNS) — A series of concerts taking place at Canada's National Gallery in Ottawa, 'Music in the Galleries', aims to 'enliven the visitor experience,' according to Barbara Dytnerska, one of the coordinators with the Gallery's Education and Public Programs. On Sunday, April 17th the program featured a musical group from Montréal, The Hidden Words.
The series has been promoting classical music, but this particular Sunday was different. An audience of approximately 80 people gathered in and around the A-109, permanent home to a collection of paintings by Canada's beloved Group of Seven artist Lawren Harris, to watch and listen to a unique four-piece band sing songs from the Baha’i Writings.
All were captivated by the diversity and meditative quality of the group's music. One young child, emboldened by the rhythms, danced for most of the hour-long concert.
