Amplify Artist in Residence

Miranda Currie

The Amplify Artist in Residence Program was created to give a rising Canadian artist of any discipline access to the artists, resources, and audiences of Chor Leoni. This unique opportunity is designed to lift up, mentor, and propel these artists forward in their careers. The program is for artists who are seeking access, opportunity, or representation and have historically faced barriers in doing so. Working with, creating for, and immersing herself in the Chor Leoni community, our Amplify Artist in Residence will create all new artist-led works to be premiered and celebrated at The Big Roar Summit Concert.

Miranda Currie is a northern Indigenous multi-disciplinary artist educator and emerging composer living and working among the Dene people in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. She walks in two worlds, with one foot in her Mushkegowuk (Swampy Cree) heritage as a member of Opaskwayak Cree Nation and the other foot in her Euro-Canadian ancestry. Miranda has been part of artistic residencies at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity and the National Music Centre in Calgary. After releasing five albums, including two children’s albums, Miranda is currently completing a Masters in Indigenous Land Based Education where she is studying how to deepen children’s relationship to nature through musical experiences.

The Amplify Artist in Residence program is put on in partnership with Canadian Music Centre BC
