The Tufts University Sunday Concert Series features a presentation and performance of indigenous music with the Iron River Singers, a well-known northern style pow-wow singing group. The members are made up of several Native nations including Chippewa, Wampanoag, Abenaki and Passamaquoddy. The Iron River Singers will perform traditional pow-wow music from their repertoire of music, along with dance performances, and punctuated by short explanations. The 3 p.m. concert will be preceded by an interactive presentation at 2 p.m. by the group’s director and educator, Chris Newell, to introduce indigenous music to the audience and give key elements to understand its sounds and culture. Join for an post-concert reception in the Granoff Music Center lobby. Free to the public with no tickets required.
