Coinciding with this summer's Classical Indigenous Music Residency and the Jazz and Sonic Arts Residency, this series of events includes faculty and participant concerts taking place in both programs as well as a joint performance by the cohorts of program participants. Artistic Directors Megumi Masaki (Music) and Janine Windolph (Indigenous Arts), and Jacqueline Bell (Curator, Walter Phillips Gallery) have come together to develop this interdisciplinary program. Witness and take part in the culmination of this exciting collaboration!
