Jeremy Dutcher: a voice bridging heritage and modernity
Jeremy Dutcher’s career goes beyond the scope of a traditional concert. His artistic work focuses on the musical memory and the transmission of Wolastoqiyik culture. His research as an ethnomusicologist has, in particular, led him to work with sound archives and songs recorded in the early 20th century.
His first album, Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, draws on these archives to give traditional songs a new, contemporary relevance. Her second album, Motewolonuwok, continues this approach with a more personal and contemporary musical creation.
The National Arts Centre of Canada She also presents her work as a convergence of different musical traditions and a reflection on identity, language and cultural transmission. For audiences in the Vendée, this performance therefore offers an opportunity to discover an unusual artistic world.
A musical experience that goes beyond jazz
The word concert is not enough to sum up the world Jeremy Dutcher creates. His music defies categorisation and blends a range of influences. The show is therefore likely to appeal to jazz enthusiasts as well as those keen to discover contemporary music.
