Tickets & Info

Celebrated Inuk performer Tanya Tagaq employs exquisite, unnerving vocal improvisations that blend traditional roots with contemporary culture. Following her debut engagement at the Walker in 2015 with Nanook of the North, Tagaq returns to perform music from her critically acclaimed and politically timely new recording, Retribution. The artist will be accompanied by a Twin Cities–based chorus, vocal chameleon Christine Duncan, drummer Jean Martin, and violinist Jesse Zubot in a boundary-pushing exploration of tone, timbre, texture, and the outer limits of human expression.

Giving Voice: Tanya Tagaq and the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Children Movement

The music of Inuk throat singer Tanya Tagaq is timeless, writes filmmaker Missy Whiteman, connecting centuries of Indigenous living and thought to this current moment. And with Tagaq returning to the Twin Cities for the second time, this moment couldn't be more opportune, as activism around a cause close to Tagaq's heart—the plight of murdered and missing indigenous women and children—ramps up across the region.
