Ideas of North
Saturday, June 10th, 2017 at 7:30pm
Free entry, space is limited!
Project description
Skol and Pronto Musica present Ideas of North, an event that unites musicians, researchers, and playwrights to document, celebrate, and mourn the changing Canadian North.
To create Ideas of North, five composers and eight performers discussed Canadian attitudes towards climate change and the North with an environmental scientist, a sociologist, a political economist, a photographer, and an Inuk playwright. The resulting concert, narration, and photo exhibit will provide a unique window into how researchers detect, predict, and adapt to climate change, and how musicians can do the same.
