Join us for one of the most unique events of the holiday season. Performing songs from their new album Haida Solstice, Haida singer, artist, and activist Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson and the band sGaanaGwa celebrate the sacredness of Winter Solstice through an exploration of healing and reconciliation. Terri-Lynn worked carefully with Haida Elders, as they translated Christmas songs into the endangered Haida language, while honouring Haida values, concepts, and teachings.

This special concert respectfully brings a distinct Haida worldview into music and festivity practiced around the world – that of Christmas. We hope that this music will bring joy and healing to all. Come sing with us!

SGaanaGwa is a compelling collaboration exploring the Haida Worldview of a Supernatural landscape through traditional Haida music interwoven with influences from jazz, blues, folk and rock. sGaanaGwa is a Haida culture and language project of award-winning singer Terri-Lynn Williams-Davidson, and legendary musicians Bill Henderson and Claire Lawrence of the acclaimed rock band Chilliwack.

They are supported by one of Canada’s finest jazz artists, bassist Jodi Proznick, renowned vocalists Saffron Henderson and Camille Henderson, and drummer/percussionist extraordinaire Geoff Hicks (Chris Hockey will be joining us for this concert). We are honoured to have special guest Haida artist Robert Davidson join us.
