Sherryl Sewepagaham, a dynamic Cree-Dene artist from Little Red River Cree Nation, Northern Alberta, blends her heritage with artistry, composition, and education. She is a doctoral student in ethnomusicology and devoted over two decades to music education from kindergarten to grade 6, infusing Indigenous musical traditions. Her compositions enrich Cree narratives celebrated in national choir commissions and international performances with the acclaimed trio, Asani.
The JUNO-nominated Canadian Chamber Choir (CCC) is Canada’s only professional choir with national representation. Led by Dr. Julia Davids (Artistic Director) and Dr. Joel Tranquilla (Associate Conductor), it is comprised of singers from Newfoundland to British Columbia to the Northwest Territories. The CCC creates, celebrates and communicates Canadian identity through choral performance and education, and is passionate about building community through choral singing.
