Songs for Murdered Sisters | Joshua Hopkins | Canada's National Arts Centre Orchestra

Following the murder of his sister in 2015, Canadian singer Joshua Hopkins, Baritone set out on a journey to use his personal and professional voice to wake people up to the global epidemic of violence against women.

His call to action inspired the great Margaret Atwood to write Songs for Murdered Sisters, a brilliant set of poems that composer Jake Heggie then set to music.

Joshua Hopkins and the NAC Orchestra led by Alexander Shelley will perform the orchestral world premiere of Songs for Murdered Sisters at Southam Hall, and on tour in February 2023:

📍 Ottawa, Southam Hall
📍 Toronto, Roy Thomson Hall
📍 Kingston, The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts
