Tagaq & Truth

Conducted by Alexander Prior | Presented by Londonderry Mall
Friday, February 21, 2020 7:30 PM

This powerful blend of old and new traditions, Tanya Tagaq’s Qiksaaktuq (“Grief”) is a collaborative work dedicated to missing and murdered indigenous women and features the Inuit singer and composer as the soloist. This is what music does best – expressing what cannot be said any other way.

TAGAQ/DUNCAN/MARTIN *Qiksaaktuq*

PROKOFIEV Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Opus 44 : 1st movement

TAGAQ Sivunittinni

The artists of iHuman Studios featuring Valkyrie will be performing in the lobby.

iHuman artist Valkyrie is a Cree & Ojibwe hiphop emcee from Edmonton Alberta. Now in her mid-twenties, she began writing at a very young age, and started performing and recording at age 14. She was a part of the hiphop crew Collective Conscience for a few years, and has now gone solo driving her own projects. Her flow is the flow of feathers, straight-up fiery, straight-up fierce. You should hear her stuff on soundcloud.com under valkyriethatFemaleMC.
