“For many in Canada, the North is still considered exotic, a great expanse with few people that is far, far
away. There is an element of intrigue and often a misconception of the people who live in the north and how
they live. As we’ve performed across Canada from Koerner Hall in Toronto ON to the Lougheed Centre in
Camrose AB, the universal feeling from audience is that we’ve brought the North alive for them. We live and
work in the north, from Burwash Landing in the western Yukon through Whitehorse, Yellowknife, and as far
away Nunavik and Nuuk. We connect 3500 kilometres of tundra and taiga and mountain lands, over river and
lake and ocean waters. ” Diyet
The New North Collective’s interpretation of the world is modern, filled with the driving rhythms of a diverse
musical and cultural landscape. Their’s is a contemporary expression of what it means to be from Canada’s
North. This interpretation translates into a tightly woven artistic creation, comprised of many threads of music
and visuals - each of which can trace its roots to long histories of its many musical traditions.
Together, they explore their ideas of north - from the land to the people; from the traditional to the
contemporary. Their shared music focuses on an in-depth look at being a northern person and a northern
artist with the impact of north on the music all are creating using the musical lens of folk, jazz, traditional,
experimental, spoken word, and rock. This music and media arts event is current, traditional, and thought
provoking for diverse audiences reaching many demographics and musical tastes.
