Don’t miss this groundbreaking moment at Stratford Summer Music as master storyteller, break-beat poet, essayist, and rapper Idris Goodwin makes his highly anticipated SSM debut—in a performance like no other!
Joined by SSM Artistic Director and violinist Mark Fewer, they’ll deliver an evening of rhythm, rhyme, and resonance that blends spoken word, hip-hop, and genre-defying musical textures.
This marks the first time that these longtime collaborators take the stage as a duo in Canada, fusing Idris’s razor-sharp social commentary and lyrical brilliance with Fewer’s dynamic, genre-bending soundscapes. It’s part performance, part conversation, all artistry—and entirely memorable.
Whether you're a lover of poetry, classical music, jazz, hip-hop, or innovative storytelling, this performance promises to be a bold collision of words and sound that challenges, inspires, and ignites.
