This summer, we're proud to highlight The Spirit Horse Returns, a moving concert experience for audiences of all ages, originally premiered at Festival of the Sound 2023. Through storytelling, music, and visual art, the production follows the journey of Asemaa’kwe, a young Ojibwe Spirit Horse, while sharing the remarkable true history of the Ojibwe Spirit Horses. Across generations, the story serves as a powerful call for reconciliation and celebrates the people who helped preserve this rare and significant breed.
