Описание: OrKidstra’s KidSingers virtually perform “The Children’s Blessing Song,” written by Cree-Dene composer Sherryl Sewepagaham. The song fosters a sense of strength, love, protection, and peace.

Sherryl Sewepagaham is of Cree-Dene ancestry from the Little Red River Cree Nation in northern Alberta, Canada. Sherryl was nominated for a Juno award in 2005 for her work with Asani and Indigenous Music Award in 2015 for her debut solo album, “Splashing the Water Loudly.” She holds a Bachelor of Music Therapy (Capilano University) and a Bachelor of Education (University of Alberta). Sherryl Sewepagaham visited OrKidstra in September 2019 and was gracious enough to share her music with the KidSingers. Thank you to Sherryl for special permission for OrKidstra's KidSingers to perform this piece.
