Owen Pallet Joins Tegan and Sara for a Polaris Prize Performance
Karkwa Takes Home the Prize
Sep 21, 2010 By Laura Studarus Photography by Wendy Lynch Redfern

Last night, Montreal-based, French lyric quintet Karkwa won Canada’s Polaris Prize—beating out Owen Pallet, Broken Social Scene and Tegan and Sara for the top honor. However, everyone was a winner when Tegan and Sara took the stage to perform “The Ocean,” accompanied by Owen Pallet on violin. Check out the video below.
