Event Details

Soundstreams is touring "Pimooteewin: The Journey" to communities across North Eastern Ontario, including a full compliment of education and community outreach activities related to the performances. From April 27th to May 15th, this Soundstreams production will visit Timmins, Iroquois Falls, Kapuskasing, Cochrane, Moosonee, and Moose Factory.

In February of 2008 Soundstreams Canada, in co-operation with the Elmer Iseler Singers, broke new creative ground with the World Premiere of the first opera written in the Cree language.

"Pimooteewin: The Journey" features a libretto by internationally celebrated author Tomson Highway, and music by award-winning Chinese-Canadian composer Melissa Hui. Renowned Cree actor and dancer Michael Greyeyes will return to choreograph and direct, and the cast of over 25 performers includes The Elmer Iseler Singers, original soloists Xin Wang (soprano), and Bud Roach (tenor), and a virtuoso ensemble of talented Canadian musicians, actors, and dancers.
