Oktoecho - Saimaniq-Sivumut

Music From Here and Abroad

For more than 15 years, Oktoecho has helped to share the wealth of Inuit culture with audiences through its boundless creativity. The original creation Saimaniq-Sivumut creates a true alchemy between three gems of this age-old culture: katajjaq, the Inuit drum, and Ayaya singing, while also incorporating Arabic polyrhythms, Japanese and Irish flutes, and electronics.

In conjunction with the new presentation of the Inuit art collection ᐆᒻᒪᖁᑎᒃ uummaqutik: essence of life

A 30-minute pre-concert talk with artists Katia Makdissi-Warren, Nina Segalowitz and Louisa Qaurritaiyuk will take place at 6:30 p.m..

Please note that the Bourgie Hall bar will be open one hour before the concert begins.
