On June 9, Elektra will release a new video, Snewíyalh tl’a Staḵw (Teachings of the Water). The fruit of a collaborative project with First Nations for over two years which was conceived by Co-Curator and ethnomusicologist, Dr. Jeanette Gallant (B.Mus. UBC, D.Phil. Oxford), the video is a musical exploration of water teachings and relationality in First Nations cultures.
“Trail-blazing a new path for women’s choirs, matched with high artistic standards, has been a part of the Elektra formula since the start…”
