Dates:
October 12 in Corner Brook Arts and Culture Centre
October 10 in St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre

Polaris Music Prize winner Tanya Tagaq is making her Newfoundland debut.  Originally from Nunavut, Tagaq is an improvisational performer, avant-garde composer and experimental recording artist whose music defies categorization, fusing elements of punk, metal, and electronica. Tanya’s sound challenges static ideas of genre and culture, and contends with themes of environmentalism, human rights and post-colonial issues. This will be the first time that Tagaq will perform in Newfoundland, though she has been touring and collaborating with an elite international circle of artists for over a decade.

Tagaq has received much critical praise and recognition for her innovative and powerful  album Animism, including a Juno Award in 2015, Canadian Folk Music Award, Western Canadian Music Association Awards, and the prestigious Polaris Music Prize.

Tickets are $30.00 and we are pleased to be able to offer a group rate of $20.00 for groups of 10 or more.

There will also be a meet and greet after the show where you will get a chance to mingle with this amazing performer.

Please call today to reserve your seats. 637-2580
