Dear Friends,

It’s been more than three years since we first saw Tanya perform. Fifteen minutes at midnight. I watched, along with my colleague Katie Oliver from the Kodiak Arts Council, when we left, we simply looked at each other and asked “How do we not do this?”

For three years, those fifteen minutes drove us to make this performance happen. What compelled us to bring an Inuit throat singer from Nunavut to Alaska, to FCA, and to you? My only answer lies in the power of her performance. As Katie put it, it was “the single most profound and memorable live performance we had ever seen.”

Tanya is the first truly avant-garde performer we (the Fairbanks Concert Association) have ever presented. Also the first artist from the Arctic. My thanks to Paul Krejci, Doug Braddock and the FCA Board for persevering and to Paul, Walkie Charles, Maya Salganek, our panelists Ron Brower, Allan Hayton, Princess Lucaj, Da-ka-xeen Mehner, and Kavelina Torres; the Inu-Yupiaq Dancers, Len Kamerling, Mary Keyes, and the Dene Intertribal Dance Group for their help and participation in the events leading up to this evening’s performance.

I know you have come from all over the state to see Tanya’s performance. I would venture that for many of you here, whether you live in Fairbanks or have traveled to attend, that this is the first FCA event you’ve attended. To all of you and to our regular patrons, we’d like to say:

Qaimarutin, nakhwal’in shoo ihłii, welcome and

Enjoy the performance,

Anne and all of us at FCA

TANYA TAGAQ’S music isn’t like anything you’ve heard before. Unnerving and exquisite, Tagaq’s unique vocal expression may be rooted in Inuit throat singing but her music has as much to do with electronica, industrial and metal influences as it does with traditional culture.

This Inuk punk is known for delivering fearsome, elemental performances that are visceral and physical, heaving and breathing and alive. Her shows draw incredulous

response from worldwide audiences, and Tagaq’s tours tend to jump back and forth over the map of the world. From a Mexican EDM festival to Carnegie Hall, her music and performances transcend language.

With this project, Tagaq, a Polaris Music Prize and Juno Award winner, reclaims the controversial 1922 silent film Nanook of the North.

Nanook of the North is considered the world’s first major work of non-fiction filmmaking, yet it is rife with contradictions. The film portrays the lives of an Inuk family in Arctic Canada. Its director, Robert Flaherty, lived and worked with Inuit for years, but still included staged scenes of buffoonery and feigned Inuit ignorance of modern

accoutrements.Working with composer Derek

Charke (whose Tundra Songs Tagaq performed with the Kronos Quartet), Tagaq, along with percussionist Jean Martin and violinist Jesse Zubot, performs a live accompaniment to the film’s silent images of life in an early 20th-century Inuit community in Northern Quebec.

Drawing on her childhood on Nunavut’s Victoria Island, and on her mother’s memories of forced relocation from the film’s Northern Quebec location, Tagaq’s sense of the sound of the Arctic spaces shown in the film transforms the images, adding tremendous feeling and depth to what is a complex mix of beautiful representations and racially charged clichés.

Tagaq employs exquisite

improvisations with traditional roots, a style she has perfected over a decade of performances on major stages worldwide, as well as through collaborations with Bjrk, Mike Patton and many others.

Tanya Tagaq in concert with Nanook of the North was commissioned by the Toronto International Film Festival, where it premiered to critical acclaim in 2012 as part of TIFF First Nations. Tagaq was awarded the Galaxie Rising Star Award at the 2013 Mundial Montreal for her showcase performance of the program.

Tanya Tagaq in concert with Nanook of the North was commissioned by TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of its film retrospective First Peoples Cinema: 1500 Nations, One Tradition.

From the1922 silent film Nanook of the North.

This long-running, Grammy-nominated, Irish-American super group is celebrating 30 years performing and enjoys constant demand worldwide, as their reputation and admiration from both fans and critics increases. As women, in what had been a male-dominated Irish music scene, they have celebrated their continued success as extraordinary musicians and performers. They are back in Fairbanks, this time bringing their Celtic Christmas show to town.

Hear the Ladies put their signature mark on classic carols in arrangements that highlight the group’s unique Celtic instrumentation, beautiful harmonies, and spectacular step dancing. “Passionate, tender and rambunctious,” says the New York Times. “It is simply impossible to imagine an audience that wouldn’t enjoy what they do,” says The Boston Globe. We are looking forward to celebrating the holidays with our Celtic music fans!
