Together with the volunteers, Bienvenue à NDG’s team of integration counsellors have prepared an exhibition on different cultural communities present in NDG, in order to highlight NDG’s rich cultural diversity. 

We take this opportunity to thank all the artists, our partners and volunteers for their continuing support and trust.

As part of the NDG Intercultural Festival 2021, this week we invite you to discover Han Zhang who is representing China.

A professional singer, Han, inspired by NDG’s rich cultural diversity, established his own studio to teach singing. According to Han, the rhythm and lyrics of the song that he has chosen for us, match the theme of the festival and represent nostalgia for the old days. For this song, he is combining two styles of singing : pop and Chinese folk styles. His dream is to collaborate with artists from different cultural backgrounds.

As part of the NDG Intercultural Festival 2021, we invite you to discover Rania Nabil Hussain, an acapella singer of Egyptian origin. 

Having always been passionate about music, Rania had to move away from it because of educational and professional commitments. However, she rediscovered her love and talent for singing when she moved to Montreal in 2019. Earlier this year, she participated in an Arab talent competition on an online television channel and won first place. She then knew she had to continue her passion.
