KTAPEKIAQN: Celebrating Mi’kmaw Song and Dance
May 27, 2023 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
| Choirs for Change’s POLARIS (with Sarah Prosper & Aaron Prosper) present: KTAPEKIAQN: Celebrating Mi’kmaw song and dance
|
 Join Choirs for Change for an evening of dance, drum, and choral music at the Halifax Central Library’s Paul O’Regan Hall. The title of the show, Ktapekiaqn, is the Mi’kmaw word for “song” and speaks to the power of music to bring communities together. Ktapekiaqn is the culmination of a collaboration between Choirs for Change’s core choir Polaris, Mi’kmaw dancer Sarah Prosper, and Mi’kmaw musician, Aaron Prosper. This performance will weave together contemporary choral music, movement, and newly-composed choral arrangements of traditional Mi’kmaw songs, including the premiere of Komqwejwi’kasikl 3, a new choral work based on a poem by Michelle Sylliboy. The concert will also feature Choirs for Change’s chamber choir, Eastern Horizon, performing works by Cree composer, Andrew Balfour. |
