The Fridays at 12:30 Concert Series is honoured to welcome back Inuk soprano Deantha Edmunds to share pieces of herself, her experience and reality through original selections from her award-winning Indigenous classical album, Connections. She will also sing sacred selections in Inuktitut from her album Pillorikput Inuit: Inuktitut Arias for All Seasons, as they were sung in Nunatsiavut (the ancestral homelands of Labrador Inuit) 200 years ago. This program will give audiences a glimpse into who Edmunds is, how she walks through this world, and who and what she carries with her. Performing alongside her is a string quartet composed of Joseph Lanza* and Mel Martin*, violins, Sharon Wei*, viola, and recent graduate Isaac Lee, cello.
