North American Indigenous Songbook – West Coast Premiere
Presented by Resonance Ensemble
Discover the West Coast premiere of the North American Indigenous Songbook, a landmark collection of vocal music by Indigenous composers curated by Timothy Long (Eastman School of Music). This bold project brings long-overlooked Native art song into the classical spotlight.
Also featured is the premiere of Danielle Jagelski’s (Oneida Nation, Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe) Holy Ground, a choral work exploring resilience, identity, and ancestral memory.
Presented by Resonance Ensemble, Portland’s award-winning vocal ensemble, this concert offers a rare opportunity to hear music that is both culturally vital and artistically groundbreaking.
