Born in a snowbank on the Manitoba/Nunavut border to a family of nomadic caribou hunters, Cree playwright, pianist and singer, Tomson Highway, has been called one of the most important Canadians in history (Maclean’s Magazine). Presented by Indigenous Contemporary Scene, Songs in the Key of Cree is a compilation of his work and a cabaret, with Tomson himself at the piano accompanied by extraordinary Peruvian-Canadian singer, Patricia Cano and jazz saxophonist Marcus Ali.
