All of these qualities are explored in Songs in the
key of Tom.

Praise
for Songs in the key of Tom:
"Songs in the Key of Tom is a moving but fun concert
both for people who know nothing about Canadian artist
Tom Thomson, and for experts on his paintings. The lyrics
in many cases are based on the participants' long looking
at the artist's production, and connecting with what
he was trying to do as a painter in response to the
northern woodlands. Tom's story is told in song in a
sensitive and engaging manner. Each "number"
is distinct and different from the last, as the story
unfolds. I found the event gripping, emotional, and
uplifting. The sense of a strong and vital connection
between visual art and music was very powerful and exciting."
– Liz Wylie, curator, The University of Toronto
Art Centre
"…how amazing and profound and brilliant
this concert is -- I was deeply moved and inspired.
I think you have a huge hit on your hands, this work
definitely has legs, I can see it touring Canada. It
touches something very deep in our collective psyche,
just as Thomson did and does."
– Robin Pacific, artist
"Thank you again for that sublime concert."
– Lilie Zendel, City of Toronto
"Loved the songs and the evening was so beautifully
conceived and coordinated....
so much rich material..."
-Cynthia Grant, theatre director
“Songs in the Key of Tom is charged by David
Sereda's clear voice and strong songwriting. I was able
to see, as well as hear the music which artfully carried
me through the painter's life."
- Martha Johnson, singer, songwriter
The music is drawn from Brush, a work-in-progress
based on the life and art of Tom Thomson; original music
and lyrics composed by David Sereda and the Brush collective,
a production of Sheatre.
