Introducing the Indigenous Music Series
January 15, 2025
The Indigenous Music Series is a set of events designed to aid Indigenous artists, musicians, songwriters and other industry members in navigating and accelerating their careers in the music industry. It is set to take place in a hybrid format with both online and in-person sessions. Participants of the series will meet weekly for 1-2 hours and discuss, learn, and practice new skills. It is meant to be taught by influential Indigenous artists, musicians, and industry members that continue to pave a way for Indigenous artists to practice and express their arts.
Below is a tentative schedule for the series. It highlights the topics the program will be discussing throughout its run. (Please note that session scheduling is subject to change.)
