ROBERT BURNS: A PASSION FOR FREEDOM
Featuring RH THOMSON, BEAU DIXON, SUBA SANKARAN, ALINA KUZMA, LUCAS HARRIS, DAVID GREENBERG AND DYLAN BELL

On the eve of Robbie Burns' birthday (January 25th), the renowned actor RH Thomson and a group of notable Toronto classical, roots and world musicians celebrate Burns' profound influence on freedom moments around the world.

In a 75-minute show devised by Alison Mackay, well known for her special attractions for Tafelmusik, the seven-member ensemble features stories and songs related to American abolitionist Frederick Douglass, India's Nobel Prize-winning poet Rabindranath Tagore and Ukrainian poet laureate Taras Shevchenko, as well as the songs and poetry of Burns himself.

Robert Burns: A Passion for Freedom premiered in November 2024 with two sold-out concerts for Confluence Concerts. 

296 Broadview is not yet a fully wheelchair accessible venue, with stairs between all levels. Our goal is to fix that, and we need your support to do so - please consider making a donation towards our goals to make HRL the best listening room in Toronto!
