SUMMARY:Jeremy Dutcher Performance
DESCRIPTION:Mary Winspear Centre Presenters Series: Jeremy Dutcher \nJeremy Dutcher is a classically trained tenor\, Two-Spirit song carrier\, polymuse\, activist\, ethnomusicologist\, and member of Neqotkuk (Tobique First Nation) in Eastern Canada. Dedicated to language revitalization\, Jeremy’s debut album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa unearthed century-old archival recordings of his ancestors\, turning them into collaborative compositions on the grand piano. Sung entirely in Wolastoqey\, his endangered mother tongue\, it would go on to win the 2018 Polaris Music Prize and lead to collaborations with such iconic artists as Yo-Yo Ma and Leslie Feist. His sophomore album Motewolonuwok ᒣᑌᐧᐁᓓᓄᐧᐁᒃ was awarded the 2024 Polaris Music Prize\, making Jeremy the first ever two-time winner. Jeremy’s music transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical and jazz influences\, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home\, and teeming with the urgency of modern-day resistance. He is regularly sought out for his perspectives on queerness\, Indigeneity\, language revitalization\, and fashion. \nDoors: 7:00 pm \nShowtime: 7:30 pm \n\nTicket Price: $60.00
