Known as a fearless innovator with a visceral stage presence, Canadian cultural icon Tanya Tagaq brings an artistic tradition dating back millennia to the UVic stage on Wednesday (Sept. 18).
The Inuk throat singer has spent her entire life championing her people, land, and culture while calling out oppressive systems and structures.
From Ikaluktutiak (Cambridge Bay, Nvt.) Tagaq is an improvisational singer, avant-garde composer and bestselling author. A member of the Order of Canada, Polaris Music Prize and JUNO Award winner and recipient of multiple honorary doctorates.
The first in the Farquhar Auditorium for UVic's Voices in Circle 2024-25 series, Tagaq's performance will include qiksaaqtuq, featuring the Victoria Symphony, a moderated discussion, and sivunittinni, accompanied by the Emily Carr String Quartet.
