Description

Tundra Songs on CD

• Always at the forefront, seeking the new and pushing to

it's limits the boundaries of the traditional string quartet,

it is no surprise the Kronos Quartet sought out Inuit throat

singer Tanya Tagaq for another collaboration with Canadian

composer Derek Charke.

• Tagaq's guttural, highly intimate, primal sounds date back to

her ancestors.

• She has turned these sounds into an art form that has

enthralled audiences the world over.

• Pursuing a singular artistic vision for more than 40 years,

the Kronos Quartet has become one of the most celebrated

and influential groups of our time.

• JUNO & ECMA Award winning composer and flutist Derek

Charke is a full professor at Acadia University in Wolfville,

Nova Scotia.

• The president of the Acadia New Music Society which runs

the annual Shattering the Silence New Music Festival,

Mr. Clarke continues to perform regularly as a new music

performer and flute improviser.

• "It's one of the major, spectacular pieces that has ever been

written for Kronos." - David Harrington, Kronos Quartet.
