This year marks the 35th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Albania and Canada. The history of exchanges between these two countries dates back much earlier. While its impact on Albania has mainly been in terms of economy and technical capacities, in Canada, it has been in the form of human resources. Despite being relatively small compared to other communities in Canada, the Albanian community carries significant cultural potential. Over the years, it has made efforts to convey this potential to its host country.
In appreciation of these efforts and bilateral relations, what better way to celebrate this anniversary than with an artistic evening? The event featured the sounds of Albanian music performed masterfully by one of Canada's most virtuoso orchestras.
On December 20, 2022, the Great Toronto Philharmonic Orchestra performed works by Albanian and Canadian composers at the Isabel Bader Theatre in downtown Toronto. ACDA had the privilege of being part of the group that facilitated this musical evening. The event was organized in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Albania in Canada, the Albanian-Canadian Community Association, Albanian Canadian Excellence Society, Albanian Canadian Lawyers Association,
