The SMAM and musica intima jointly commissioned composer Andrew Balfour, of Cree ancestry, to create Missa Tekakwitha, The Seven Stones of Grandfather’s Prophecies, which evokes the tragic fate of Kateri Tekakwitha, who died at the age of 24. This concert, a collaboration between the SMAM and musica intima, will blend European polyphonic music with Indigenous languages, bringing together legendary figures of the First Nations, Marian symbols, miracles, natural wonders, and other profound upheavals. Missa Tekakwitha will be performed alongside the remarkable Missa Et ecce terræ motus by Antoine Brumel.
In collaboration with musica intima.
