The Orchestral Pow Wow Project.

I have always been interested in the intersections of the contemporary and the traditional art forms, music, visual arts, fashion, writing, theater all move forward through these intersections of trying to explain the human condition in new ways by pushing the old in new directions. The Orchestral Pow Wow Project is just that, using older classical tools with Pow Wow groups is a way I can express the intersections between the old and the new. It brings together both parts of who I am as a Half-Cree, Half- Mennonite Classically Trained Cellist. What excites me most about this project is bringing our Aboriginal music to the center of the European model and we as aboriginal artists lead the way with our drums and our heart beat to create new forms of music.
