Mysterious Barricades - A Cross-Canada Concert for SuicideAwareness, Prevention and Hope

Join Faculty of Music artists and friends in the third annual concert event held for World Suicide Prevention Day. 

Walter Hall, 80 Queen's Park Free admission and open to the public

We believe music heals. And because we believe music heals, on Saturday, September 15, music will follow the sun across Canada, from dawn to dusk, for sea to sea, to bring hope to people at risk of suicide, to offer healing to those left behind, and to emphasize that we as a country and a community wish for the stigma of mental illness to become a thing of the past. Hundreds of professional musical artists will perform in 13 cities, livestreamed in one day-long concert of hope and healing. All concerts will be free to attend; the livestream will be free to enjoy on any device.

Further information regarding this project, including the sequence of thirteen concerts, cities, venues and performers, is available at www.mysteriousbarricades.org
