A new orchestral work, composed with the help of patients at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), will premiere at the Toronto Symphony Orchestra (TSO) next season.
, said it was “a joy” to be back in Toronto to celebrate the new partnership.
Dr. Renee Linklater, senior director of Shkaabe Makwa at CAMH, believes it’s important that mental health care providers like CAMH explore “different healing modalities” and, for Indigenous patients, integrate traditional healing into patient care. “This opportunity we have now, incorporating drumming and singing, feels very natural for some people. But for other people, they might have felt the loss of not being able to experience their culture and these medicines because many of the people that we’re working with at CAMH have become distanced from their families and their communities,” said Linklater.
“This is about an artistic collaboration, not an artistic performance,” said Dr. David Goldbloom, a senior medical adviser at CAMH.
