Description
The Global Migration Lab – Student Research Initiative at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy is glad to host a panel discussion with Juno Award-winning Toronto-based saxophonist, composer and arranger Allison Au on Migration, Art, and Identity.
Allison recently premiered in January 2020 her piece “Migrations Suite”, which was commissioned by the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music. By exploring her family history through music, Allison addresses the larger issues of displacement, relocation, lament for the loss of home, the feeling of “foreign-ness” and legacy.
