HOPE TO TOLD YA, 2022
A neighborhood ravaged by drugs and crime is thrown on its heels when a local artist purchases one half of a block with the vision to develop it into a haven of arts and cultural activity through artist Willie Birch. Initially met by residents with skepticism he slowly gains their trust, respect and ultimately their active involvement in transforming their surroundings from one of despair and fear into one of hope.

Back Home, 2024
Music video
“Back Home” is one of Rachel Therrien's compositions inspired by the unique feel of New York’s Latin Jazz tradition. It captures the essence of this music, which originated in New Orleans as part of the broader jazz tradition and evolved into many distinct sonic genres, including the sound shaped by pioneers like Dizzy Gillespie, Mario Bauzá, and Chico O’Farrill. This composition embodies the vibrant, Newyorican spirit of Latin Jazz—its rhythms, harmonies, and cultural roots—while reflecting its journey through time and geography, from its origins in New Orleans to its reimagining in New York, and now finding resonance in Montreal. “Back Home” represents a return to the heart of this music while celebrating its ongoing evolution.
