The Kim Moberg Band - Seven Fires Prophecy: Suite for Humanity

This event is FREE, but registration is required.

Award winning Indigenous (Tlingit) singer/songwriter Kim Moberg performs a concert of her third album “The Seven Fires Prophecy Suite for Humanity”. In her research to learn more about Indigenous cultures in North American, Kim learned of the ancient yet relevant Anishinaabe legend “The Seven Fires Prophecy” which teaches that in order to survive as a species, human beings must learn to live together with respect for people all colors and cultures in addition to respecting our environment. Kim found the teaching so profound that she composed a suite in the Folk music style to share the legend with her audiences. The album was produced by Grammy nominated producer Jon Evans (Tori Amos / Sarah McLachlan).

The presentation includes a short video by the Canadian Indigenous artist whose painting “The Sacred Fires Prophecy” Kim used for her album cover art.

This program is supported by a grant from the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod and the National Endowment for the Arts.
