Creek-Choctaw pianist-conductor Timothy Long, Music Director of Eastman Opera Theatre of the renowned Eastman School of Music, and North Carolina Cherokee composer-performer James E. Green join the CMC for an exploration of the music of indigenous composers and performers. The CMC celebrates the artistry and traditions of members of the Lakota, Creek, Choctaw, Muskoke, Stockbridge Munsee, Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Anishinaabe tribes. Mr. Long also plays his own works and accompanies the CMC in a new arrangement of “Rhapsody in Blue (with George and Ira Gershwin),” by CMC pianist, D. Scott Ferguson. All will be moved by this intimate view into the legacy artistry of our land’s first pioneers.
