The Warm North

The Warm North with DalChorus.
Stories and songs from Nunavut, a family concert. 

DalChorus gets to know Nunavut:

Keeping with our aim to connect music with the community, DalChorus presents The Warm North, a program that shares the glorious voices of DalChorus and the solo voice of DalVoice student, Princess Kusugak of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut.

Dec. 6 | 3:00pm
Joseph Strug Concert Hall
tickets: dal.ca/box office
Free admission at the door for children under 12

As a follow up to our beautiful and moving evening and music with Inuk soprano, Deantha Edmunds on Oct 24, The Warm North delves into the works of Princess’s own grandfather, writer Michael Kusugak. Through the power of song and story, this special event allows us all the opportunity to learn about Inuit heritage, legends, and song, as well as its historical and present influence on our cultural landscape.

DalChorus, directed by Dr. Nicole Jordan with pianist, Joseph Dowell, brings together sacred and secular works, in traditional Inuktitut and English. We are all thrilled and honoured to learn about Inuit language and traditions with Princess generously providing knowledge and insight.

Featured selections include:

·      Saimartigut Jesuse, Traditional Moravian hymn in Inuktitut

·      Qilak, by Andrew Balfour

·      O SIEM, by Susan Aglukark, Arr. Sam Dabrusin

The Warm North invites us to reflect on our shared place in Canada, and our hopes for the future.
