Our Story
Nai Children’s Choir (also known as "Nai Syrian Children's Choir" formerly and "Nai Kids" affectionately) was established in 2016 as a special program of CultureLink with a focus on healing, learning, and rejoicing for refugee children recently arrived from Syria. The Choir has since engaged with more than 200 refugee children aged five to 15 from several war-torn countries.
The word Nai means “the sound of the flute” in Arabic, referring to Lebanese poet Khalil Gibran’s belief that “singing is a fine prayer and the sound of the flute remains even after life ends.”
Taking an arts-based youth empowerment approach, the Nai Children’s Choir provides a unique space for refugee children to learn to express their grief, yearning, love and hope through singing in their mother tongue and in the official languages of their new home. The choir gives refugee children and youth free weekly music education. Their organization CultureLink also offers English classes and other settlement services to parents of Choir members to help them integrate.
