EMSB Podcast: The Lyre's Dream presented at the Senate of Canada
The Lyre's Ream is a transatlantic celebration of art and learning. The Lyre’s Dream unites Canada, Greece, Bulgaria, and Israel through the timeless language of music. Conceived by the English Montreal School Board (EMSB) in collaboration with Greek composer-lyrist-researcher Dr. Nikos Xanthoulis, and guided by the artistic direction of Maria Diamantis and Dimitris Ilias of Chroma Musika, the project brings together the Sofia Session Orchestra, the EMSB Chorale, and narrators from EMSB high schools for a vibrant musical journey through Ancient Greek and Hebrew texts. An educational and artistic odyssey linking Montreal, Athens, and Sofia, it weaves together civilizations and generations — a luminous reminder that, as Seikilos wrote more than two millennia ago: “While you live, shine.”
