Humber Music presents Reverberations III - a Celebration of Music from the Black Diaspora featuring Gospel Music and Afro-Caribbean Jazz!
This concert presents two contrasting genres, American Gospel music and Caribbean-influenced jazz, yet at their essence, both reverberate with a shared African heritage. Come let your spirit be uplifted by the powerful Gospel Choir directed by Natalie Stewart and your energy revived by the infectious groove of the Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble directed by Jesse Ryan for what is sure to be a very memorable show!
The power of gospel music brings to life a vibe that resonates with the soul, stirring faith, inspiration, hope, and even joy in the midst of sorrow–tenets of the Black cultural experience for over a century. Showcasing Humber's skillful and exceptional musical talent, the unifying power of Humber's Gospel Choir is like music therapy for the soul: soothing, uplifting, refreshing and energizing! Natalie Stewart brings an infectious energy as director of the Gospel Choir, and the students are equally inspiring.
The second feature of the evening is the Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble, a dynamic sextet presenting an immersive performance of collectively composed and arranged music. This unique suite is paired with a silent film exploring Caribbean history and identities in Toronto, with a special focus on the origins of Caribana—now celebrated as the Toronto Caribbean Carnival. The performance highlights the vibrant styles and rhythms of Calypso from Trinidad, Rara from Haiti, and the street beats of New Orleans, centering sounds from the English and French-speaking Caribbean. It showcases their role as a powerful tool for shaping collective identity. Through its rhythms and cultural motifs, this music expresses shared experiences and offers a sense of belonging and empowerment, affirming Afro-Caribbean identity and resilience.
This concert is sure to be standing-room only, so get your ticket soon!

In celebration of Black Heritage Month and this year’s theme, Roots & Rhythms: Celebrating Black Culture, Creativity, and Community, the Office of EDIB, in partnership with the Black/African Employee Resource Group (BA-ERG), invites you to an inspiring conversation about the transformative power of storytelling as a tool for healing, connection, and empowerment.
This special event will feature Peta-Gaye Nash, BA-ERG member and award-winning writer of adult fiction, children’s literature, and poetry. Peta-Gaye’s acclaimed short story collection, Told Ya – Stories, winner of the Independent Press Award 2025, explores themes of class, resilience, and adversity. Her children’s book Bushyhead has received international recognition, including the Canada Book Award and Global Book Awards Bronze for Children's Self-Esteem. As the host of the podcast Heart to Art with Sauga Arts HUB, she delves into the unseen challenges that shape artistic creativity.
During this event, Peta-Gaye will guide a thoughtful discussion on how storytelling can be a powerful means of healing and connection, especially within Black communities.
Discover and Celebrate Your Voice
The conversation will include an introduction to the Writers Collective of Canada (WCC), an organization that fosters creativity and connection through storytelling. Peta-Gaye Nash, a WCC facilitator, will lead a workshop on finding your authentic voice and crafting your own stories.
Whether you’re a writer, storyteller, or someone who values the shared experiences that stories bring to life, this conversation will inspire and resonate.
