Fireside with Lyndon: Silla

Join us for an unforgettable evening at Remai Modern as Fireside with Lyndon welcomes acclaimed Inuit throat-singing duo Silla.

Charlotte Qamaniq from Iglulik and Cynthia Pitsiulak from Kimmirut, Nunavut have been performing together since 2005. Known for their mesmerizing and powerful performances, Silla blend the rich traditions of Inuit throat singing with a wide range of contemporary music genres.

Their name, Silla, comes from the Inuktitut word Sila, which encompasses weather, land, spirit, cunning, and intelligence—honouring the deep cultural roots and spiritual power of their practice. In a world that once tried to silence these sounds, Silla’s music stands as a vibrant expression of resilience and cultural pride.

Silla has received two JUNO Award nominations for their work as Silla and Rise and are winners of two Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards.

Come experience their artistry live, and hear from these incredible performers as they share stories, sounds, and insights into their creative journey.
