Memories: Voices from the Trojan Horse reunites musicians, performers, and writers from the heyday of famous 1970’s Danforth coffeehouse, the Trojan Horse.

Featuring amazing talents from a time of cultural hybridity when Greek musicians in Toronto embraced Chileans in exile to form the legendary musical group, Compañeros, this performance will evoke a sense of the magical period of poetry and protest, of a time when the voices of Nobel prize winning poet Pablo Neruda and Greece’s great composer Mikis Theodorakis joined together in a call for global change. In Toronto during the 1970s and early 1980s, the place to find community was at the Trojan Horse, a space founded by Governor General’s Award-winning poet Gwendolyn McEwen and Greek Musician Nikos Tsingos.

Originally presenting in the summer of 2024 as part of the LulaWorld Festival, this special one-night-only performance will feature music under the Musical Direction of Marcelo Puente, the Chilean-Canadian singer of Compañeros, joined by musicians Fotis Tubanos, Ken Kakoulis, Dino Carambelas, Nano Valverde, Oriana Barbato, and Heather Chetwynd.

Trinity St. Paul’s – 427 Bloor Street West
