SUMMARY:Hughes
DESCRIPTION:Presented As part of the Northern Spark Emerging Artist Series\n\n\n\nA Collaboration Between NACC and The UNDerground\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHughes is the folk‑alt‑country project of Yellowknife musician Benji Straker. Blending folk\, alt‑country\, and indie sensibilities\, Hughes creates music that is honest\, atmospheric\, and deeply personal. The project draws inspiration from the stark beauty of the North and the quiet complexities of lived experience\, offering listeners space to reflect\, breathe\, and connect. \n\n\n\nWith textured arrangements\, intimate lyrics\, and a grounded sense of place\, Hughes crafts soundscapes that feel both expansive and close to home. The self‑titled debut full‑length album\, released in July 2025\, captures the heart of the project’s sound — vulnerable\, spacious\, and rooted in the lived‑in details of northern life and relationships. \n\n\n\nMust be 19+ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Brett Hansen's Confluence
DESCRIPTION:Presented In Collaboration With \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA six-person ensemble featuring some of Canada’s greatest Jazz musicians \n\n\n\nPossessing “one of the purest sounds on the six string” (The Listening Sessions)\, guitarist-composer Brett Hansen has boldly stepped out from his work as one of Canada’s first-call session musicians with a striking debut album of his own\, Confluence. Hansen’s compositions showcase his fleet technical skill and cinematic sonic palate\, but perhaps most notable is his emotional and dynamic capacity to tell stories without words. Influences from his work in folk\, rock\, jazz\, and orchestral ensembles shine across the album\, which has remained on the international jazz charts since its release in 2024 and has garnered critical acclaim\, drawing comparison to Pat Metheny and John Abercrombie. Brett Hansen has studied with the likes of Mike Stern\, Julian Lage\, Oz Noy\, Matthew Stevens\, Nir Felder\, Jim Head\, and Rez Abassi. He performs regularly as a part of the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra\, has toured internationally through Asia\, Europe\, and Canada\, and has performed on hundreds of recordings across genres with some of Canada’s finest musicians across many genres of music. Without a doubt\, Brett Hansen a guitarist “deserving of your attention” (The Intelligencer). \n\n\n\nBrett Hansen’s Confluence is a live show experience that brings together folk-inspired sensitivity\, muscular rock phrases\, and Latin rhythms to conjure a sound both atmospheric and powerful\, while showcasing a six-person ensemble featuring some of Canada’s finest jazz musicians: Mallory Chipman on vocals\, Luis Tovar on percussion\, Murray Wood on bass\, Joel Jeschke on drums\, and Chris Pruden on keyboards.  \n\n\n\nDrawing comparison to the likes of Pat Metheny and John Abercrombie\, Brett’s skills as a guitarist are only met by his expressivity as a composer\, weaving together years of influence and experience from his work as a side person with award-winning and internationally touring ensembles across genres\, and resulting in a sound that is simultaneously sophisticated and raw.​ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTender yet fierce… relatable yet fresh… Confluence showcases Brett’s focus on lyricism in both writing and performance while showcasing traits of modern jazz/improvised music with contemporary production techniques. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Alteration
DESCRIPTION:How do our lives intertwine? How do we manage to prosperous balances? What happens when they break down? Alteration addresses the transformations that punctuate our lives and our abilities to influence our own destiny and that of others. Aly Keita depicts an oscillating humanity on an intimate and societal level\, between stability and uncertainty\, anchoring and uprooting\, change and resistance\, renewal and repetition. The relationship with the other and the complexity of ties lead to the need to hear and rebuild our relationship with ourselves and with our environment. Exploring the meaning of relationships in our society in a wide-ranging way\, both interpersonal relationships and those with other-than-human beings\, this work opens the way to the construction of possible new links that are formed through ecological and spiritual dimensions. Here\, life takes the form of a cycle of transformations. Memories of past experiences and scars – in other words\, alteration – are transmuted into a vital breath through reactivating movements\, both individual and collective\, that revitalize our bodies and rekindle our inner power. \n\n\n\nThis show includes the use of smoke\, which may persist throughout the performance. In addition\, vibrating sounds and low frequencies are used\, which may cause physical sensations. Please take this into account if you are sensitive to these effects. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis multi-arts work is as much a choreographic piece as a circus piece\, a musical work as well as a work of visual art. Martin Bellemare (Note d’intention)\n\n\n\n\n\nKira is a word in Sousou\, the language of Guinea\, meaning “path”. It evokes the idea that life is a path where we walk\, gather\, and unite. Founded in 2023\, Kira Arts creates staged works that bring together different artistic practices on equal footing and promote intercultural dialogue. In this way\, they cultivate an inclusive and diverse environment based on principles of knowledge sharing and collaboration. Their artistic approach focuses on mediation as a field for research and creation. When selecting collaborators\, it is essential that each artist possess a deep understanding of the body\, rhythm\, and movement. The uniqueness of each body and individual is a tool that can enrich shared creation. Their approach is to invite artists to embody the multiple interpretations of a single event.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Tyler Hawkins in Norman Wells
DESCRIPTION:Yellowknife’s own Tyler Hawkins\, recognized for his versatile guitarist work\, levels up with this rare performance on his Baroque Lute featuring the music of Weiss\, Bach and Gauthier. He received a BFA Honours in Performance on multi-string classical guitars (1990) and later released both online and CD versions of Tyler Hawkins – Bach on Seventeen Strings (2007) and Georg Philipp Telemann Lute Duets for Classical Guitar – Tyler Hawkins & Christopher Irvine (2009). \n\n\n\nAs director of the NWT International Lute Festival (2007 – 2017) he became immersed into the fascinating and very real world of early music\, having commissioned a period accurate replica 13 course Sebastian Schelle baroque lute\, hand made by the luthier duo Barber & Harris in London England\, 2011. For this life-long guitarist the migration to lute has been an ultimate game changer giving way to an exciting new trajectory. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Les Voix Humaines with Tyler Hawkins
DESCRIPTION:Les Voix Humaines are back in the NWT to grace our ears once again with this special Yellowknife performance\, as founding member and most incredible gambist Susie Napper takes flight with the Russian harpsichordist Elizaveta Miller. Also featuring local baroque lutenist Tyler Hawkins\, their collective programme ‘Adversaries in Love’ transports us to the connected worlds and unmatched genius of Gauthier\, Marais\, Abel\, Bach(s) and Weiss\, all played on authentic period instruments. \n\n\n\nThe viol duo\, Les Voix Humaines\, brings flair and brilliance to their performances! Susie Napper and Mélisande Corriveau have performed together as members of Les Voix Humaines Consort for two decades and collaborated on many projects. They have performed across Canada\, in the USA\, France and Belgium as a duo. They both play on historic viols by London luthier\, Barak Norman. \n\n\n\nThe duo builds on decades of performances worldwide by Susie Napper and Margaret Little who’s musical complicity was compared to the skill of a pair of trapeze artists or the telepathic communion of jazz artists. Their many prizes and recordings are the foundation on which the new duo has built a creative repertoire and innovative style to inspire a new generation of music-lovers. \n\n\n\nAnguille sous roche – Something Fishy\, the duo’s latest recording and video features delicacies from the French repertoire offering humour\, virtuosity and tenderness in a unique\, creative programme. Last November they recorded a new CD of several iconic works by J.S. Bach arranged by Susie Napper for two viols. \n\n\n\nThe duo has been joined by many celebrated soloists including singers Suzie Leblanc\, Daniel Taylor\, Charles Daniels and Jonathon Adams and instrumentalists\, Wieland and Bart Kuijken\, Davide Monti and Nigel North. Susie Napper has the honour of performing with Russian harpsichordist Elizaveta Miller for this special performance in Yellowknife. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecent recipient of the honour of Companion of Arts and Letters of Quebec\, cellist\, gambist and continuo player par excellence\, Susie Napper is alternatively praised or admonished for her colourful and controversial performances of solo and chamber repertoire of the baroque! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA rebel to the core\, from an artistic milieu in London\, in her teens she played début performances of Ligetti and Stockhausen as well as performance-art productions in alternative venues. By contrast she studied at Juilliard in New York at the height of the Vietnam resistance and at the Paris Conservatoire at the end of the student riots of ‘68. \n\n\n\nSan Francisco followed\, where\, having had an epiphany on receiving a bass viol\, she threw herself headlong into new-wave\, HIP baroque music-making\, teaching herself the viol by playing\, reading treatises and creating new styles of performance inspired by old! \n\n\n\nAs well as co-foundiing Philharmonia Baroque with her partner and inspiration\, baroque oboist and writer\, the late Bruce Haynes\, they spent decades parenting delightful kids and musicing in Montreal where she created the Montreal Baroque Festival\, a vehicle to unite the multitalented\, Montreal early music community. \n\n\n\nShe has spent decades with a foot on either side of the Atlantic recording\, performing\, teaching in Montreal and Copenhagen and touring around Europe\, the Far East and Oceania often with the viol duo\, Les Voix humaines. Amongst dozens of recordings\, the complete Concerts a deux violes esgales by Sieur de Ste Colombe is a highlight and her arrangements of music stolen from the wider baroque repertoire amuse both musicians and audiences alike! \n\n\n\nEither praised or criticized for her use of rubato\, general freedom of expression\, variety of bow strokes and undying preference for harmony over melody\, she is constantly searching for rhetorical meaning and eloquence to bring the printed page to life! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nElizaveta Miller is a versatile historical keyboardist whose artistry spans harpsichord\, fortepiano\, clavichord\, organ\, and modern piano. Her repertoire encompasses five centuries of music\, with a particular focus on reviving underrepresented works\, curating imaginative programs\, and commissioning new compositions for historical instruments. She studied at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory\, Moskva and the Yale School of Music. \n\n\n\n\n\nWinner of the First Prize at the 2013 Musica Antiqua Competition in Bruges\, Miller has since performed widely across North America and Europe at festivals such as the Montreal Baroque Festival\, Montreal Bach Festival\, Festival Classica\, MA Festival Bruges\, Beethovenfest Bonn\, Bozar Music\, the Dubrovnik Summer Festival\, and The Homecoming Festival. As a continuo player\, she has collaborated with leading conductors including Václav Luks\, Reinhard Goebel\, Maxim Emelyanychev\, Robert Hollingworth\, and Christian Curnyn. \n\n\n\nAfter nearly a decade on the faculty of the Moscow State Conservatory\, she resigned in March 2022 in protest of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She was subsequently appointed Assistant Professor of Harpsichord and Coordinator of the Early Music Area at McGill University’s Schulich School of Music.  \n\n\n\nIn 2024\, she co-founded the ensemble Les Temps Perdus with cellist Jessica Korotkin\, continuing her commitment to reimagining early music through performance and scholarship\, and to mentoring emerging artists at the outset of their careers. \n\n\n\n\n\nJoined by Yellowknife’s own Tyler Hawkins\, recognized for his versatile guitarist work\, levels up with this rare performance on his Baroque Lute featuring the music of Weiss\, Bach and Gauthier. He received a BFA Honours in Performance on multi-string classical guitars (1990) and later released both online and CD versions of Tyler Hawkins – Bach on Seventeen Strings (2007) and Georg Philipp Telemann Lute Duets for Classical Guitar – Tyler Hawkins & Christopher Irvine (2009). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs director of the NWT International Lute Festival (2007 – 2017) he became immersed into the fascinating and very real world of early music\, having commissioned a period accurate replica 13 course Sebastian Schelle baroque lute\, hand made by the luthier duo Barber & Harris in London England\, 2011.

SUMMARY:Matt Andersen
DESCRIPTION:With Opening Act Old Man Luedecke! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen Matt Andersen steps on stage\, he brings a lifetime of music to every note he plays. His latest album\, The Hammer & The Rose\, is a veritable garden of heart; a (mostly) delicate collection of tender folk and stirring soul numbers that find the New Brunswick-born songwriter thoughtfully tending to the most important things in life. Andersen’s stage presence is informed by decades of cutting his teeth in dusty clubs\, dim-lit bars\, and grand theatres all over the world\, delivering moving performances that run the gamut from intimate to wall-shaking. In the studio\, he’s always brought the same attention to detail and commitment to craft as he has to his live show. The result is a multi-faceted and poignant body of work\, which has led him to amass over 33 million streams on Spotify and 30 million views on YouTube. \n\n\n\nIn addition to headlining major festivals\, clubs and theatres throughout North America\, Europe\, and Australia\, he has shared the stage and toured with Marcus King\, Beth Hart\, Marty Stuart\, Greg Allman\, Tedeschi Trucks Band\, Randy Bachman\, Serena Ryder\, Tab Benoit\, and more. \n\n\n\nAndersen nabbed the 2013 and 2016 European Blues Awards for Best Solo/Acoustic Act\, was the first ever Canadian to take home top honours in the solo category at the 2010 International Blues Challenge in Memphis\, won the CIMA Road Gold award in 2015\, and has won multiple Maple Blues Awards. Matt Andersen & The Big Bottle of Joy was nominated for a Juno Award in 2024. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBack Again in the NWT As the Opening Act: Old Man Luedecke \n\n\n\nOld Man Luedecke is the recording and performing name of two-time JUNO award-winning and Polaris prize-nominated singer/songwriter Chris Luedecke. He’s a multiple East Coast Music Award winner known for his high-energy\, banjo-driven stompers\, touching guitar ballads\, and dry\, humorous stories. Old Man Luedecke has been making a soundtrack to an authentic life for nearly twenty years. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in Toronto and long-time resident of the country near Chester\, Nova Scotia\, Luedecke began recording in the early 2000s DIY folk scene of Halifax. He made his two JUNO-winning albums for Black Hen Music in the late ‘00s\, with Steve Dawson as producer\, at Vancouver’s famed Factory studio. Luedecke has kept up many worldwide concert appearances\, playing in Europe and around Canada and the USA\, and six trips to Australia\, including a memorable tour where his whole young family travelled with him around rural Queensland for the Festival of Small Halls. \n\n\n\nAnd A Special NWT Collaboration with Pat Braden and Norman Glowach \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:Kiuryaq in Fort Smith
DESCRIPTION:Presented by \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA Production By  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNever whistle at the Northern Lights. They will come down and get you. They will play soccer with your head. They are also ancestors calling you home. Kiuryaq is ‘Aurora Borealis’ in the Western Arctic Inuvialuit language of Inuvialuktun\, in reference to their bright colours. \n\n\n\nKiuryaq is an immersive circumpolar theatre performance that explores our relationship with the Northern Lights. It is a multi-disciplinary piece created in collaboration with sound composers\, digital media artists\, and theatre artists from Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of Canada\, Greenland\, Sápmi territory and Alaska.  \n\n\n\nWe follow these northern stories of connection that inspire us through the aurora borealis\, or kiuryaq in Inuvialuktun. These stories – frightening\, spiritual\, epic and playful – are situated in our memories of then and experiences of now. All are held in our vast cosmologies\, converging in ways that could not have imagined when this journey began.  \n\n\n\nKiuryaq is about two siblings born in the North\, an older sister and a younger brother. One is taken down south by a forced adoption and raised with no knowledge of their place of birth\, the other is raised under the Aurora with their grandparents. Under the ancestral connection of the Northern Lights\, choices are made that change both their realities. \n\n\n\nKiuryaq is a transformative performance work which brings the circumpolar region together to share wisdom\, warnings and humour to all those who are curious. In form\, Kiuryaq blends theatre\, with three performers embodying multiple roles; concert\, featuring original music played by a live string quartet; and film\, with expansive\, immersive projections.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCreative Team\n\n\n\nProducers: Akpik Theatre & TheaturtleDirector: Reneltta ArlukMusic Director: Carmen BradenWriters: Reneltta Arluk\, Rawdna Carita Eira\, Alon NashmanDramaturgy: Christopher MorrisCultural Envoy: Rawdna Carita EiraPerformers: Julia Ulayok Davis\, Salik Lennert\, Elin OskalChoreographer: Fia GrogonoTechnical Director: Jessica HanProduction Manager: Kayleigh SandomirskyStage Management: Ashley ReesLighting Design: Itai ErdalCostume & Props Design: Jay HavensComposer | Sound Designer: Carmen BradenMusic Recording: Dior Quartet (Noa Sarid\, Joanne Yesol Choi\, Yuri Santos\, Tobias Elser\, Jacob Clewell\, Caleb Georges) Set Design | Illustrator: Hailey VerbonacVideo Design: Chimerik 似不像Digital Content: Davis Heslep & Barry BilinskyVideo Dramaturgy: Barry BilinskyCollaborating Filmmakers: Riddle Films & Cabin ProductionsImage Design: Rise Frequency Intuitive Graphic DesignNew Media/Projection Design Support Team: Chimerik 似不像New Media/Projection Design Collaborator: Vanka SalimNew Media/Projection Design Consultant & Facilitator: Sammy Chien-MacCaullProjection Technical Consultant: Cody Dyson \n\n\n\n\nhttps://vimeo.com/1037889251?fl=plu0026fe=vl\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:TOKARA & Skyfire Taiko
DESCRIPTION:A CO-PRODUCTION WITH \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTOKARA was founded in Nagano Prefecture\, Japan\, by Wadaiko Artist Art Lee. The group has become a strong force in the world of Wadaiko (Taiko Drumming) both in Japan and internationally. \n\n\n\nWhile incorporating arrangements of traditional Taiko pieces into their performance\, TOKARA has created an all-new style of Taiko\, where electrifying speed and power meet the group’s own arrangements of movement\, incorporating dance and the circular fluidity of the Chinese martial arts and aikido. \n\n\n\nTOKARA’s new style of Taiko music also brings rhythmic signatures from other cultures around the world to create a jazzy and exciting style of taiko music. TOKARA started its international debut with a six-week coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. and Canada\, followed by a two-month tour in 2005\, both to critical acclaim and sold-out audiences. TOKARA has since performed as the main attraction in many events\, including the Hamanako Hanahaku All-Japan Expo and the Taipei City 120th Anniversary World Music Festival. \n\n\n\nSince the group’s inception\, TOKARA tours three to four times a year in Asia\, the U.S.\, various countries in Europe\, Australia\, and India\, as well as making regular appearances at some of the top Taiko performances all over Japan. \n\n\n\nTOKARA continues the intensive process of continually reinventing new pieces and playing styles in an attempt to further develop the group’s originality. The members of TOKARA also continue to research and study traditional Wadaiko pieces\, and to incorporate arrangements of these pieces into their performances. \n\n\n\nTOKARA is joined on the NACC stage by Yellowknife’s own Skyfire Taiko.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis event is organized by:

SUMMARY:TOKARA in Fort Smith
DESCRIPTION:TOKARA was founded in Nagano Prefecture\, Japan\, by Wadaiko Artist Art Lee. The group has become a strong force in the world of Wadaiko (Taiko Drumming) both in Japan and internationally. \n\n\n\nWhile incorporating arrangements of traditional Taiko pieces into their performance\, TOKARA has created an all-new style of Taiko\, where electrifying speed and power meet the group’s own arrangements of movement\, incorporating dance and the circular fluidity of the Chinese martial arts and aikido. \n\n\n\nTOKARA’s new style of Taiko music also brings rhythmic signatures from other cultures around the world to create a jazzy and exciting style of taiko music. TOKARA started its international debut with a six-week coast-to-coast tour of the U.S. and Canada\, followed by a two-month tour in 2005\, both to critical acclaim and sold-out audiences. TOKARA has since performed as the main attraction in many events\, including the Hamanako Hanahaku All-Japan Expo and the Taipei City 120th Anniversary World Music Festival. \n\n\n\nSince the group’s inception\, TOKARA tours three to four times a year in Asia\, the U.S.\, various countries in Europe\, Australia\, and India\, as well as making regular appearances at some of the top Taiko performances all over Japan. \n\n\n\nTOKARA continues the intensive process of continually reinventing new pieces and playing styles in an attempt to further develop the group’s originality. The members of TOKARA also continue to research and study traditional Wadaiko pieces\, and to incorporate arrangements of these pieces into their performances. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReceive the “Family Pack” discount when adding at least one adult and one youth ticket to your cart.
