Song is Moe Clark’s first language. Through song, the Métis Two-Spirit singing thunderbird fuses vocal improvisation with multilingual lyricism to create meaning rooted in personal legacy, ancestral memory, and embodied knowledge. Influences from circle singing and storytelling tie her music to oral traditions, as she creatively weaves the inherent magic of the world into focus.
Originally from Treaty 7 territory, Clark has called Tio'tiá:ke/Mooniyang (Montreal) home for over a decade. She’s produced two solo albums, featured on multiple collaborative albums, published an acclaimed bilingual book of poetry, and founded nistamîkwan, a transformational Indigenous arts organization that creates opportunities for inclusive intercultural, interdisciplinary and intergenerational collaborations. From intimate community collaborations to international exchanges like Transcestral, which brought together Indigenous and Sufi musicians, Clark is a dynamic force in the continuum of the oral tradition.
Drawing from Indigenous creation stories, earth-based ceremonial practices, and a deep desire for musical expansion, Moe Clark ignites the stage in Feast of the Invisible. Joined by six stellar musicians, they animate songs in Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and English languages. Drawing from a diverse repertoire of jazz, folk, trance and têwêhikan (hand drum) music, it’s a poetic, multi-dimensional musical journey between visible and invisible realms that resonates with personal healing, collective celebration, and deep spiritual connection.
The Chan Centre presents Feast of the Invisible on March 26 at 8 pm at the Chan Sun Concert Hall as part of the Decolonize the Chan series, supported by Presenting Sponsor RBC.
