About

Between 2013 and 2015 the Tittulautet Nunatsiavuttini – Nunatsiavut Brass Band Workshop provided in-person instruction to brass players in Nain, Hopedale and Makkovik. This new workshop builds on that project and is aimed at using distance technology to provide players with the tools they need to support the Labrador Inuit Moravian brass and wind tradition.

Historically, the Labrador Inuit Moravian brass and wind tradition was made possible through immersion in a broader Labrador Inuit Moravian musical culture. We recognize that it is difficult to replicate those conditions today, but with new tools it is possible to achieve similar results. Our objective into help participants develop skills to ensure they are directing further transmission of the tradition.
