The Festival Stage and seating area are on the lawn at scenic Red Cliffs Lodge, overlooking the Colorado River and set against towering red rock walls, which blaze in the distance at sunset. This spectacular location and environs have appeared in numerous films and commercials, and there is a museum on-site honoring that heritage. You may well recognize the view!
Concert Description: Conductor and pianist Timothy Long (Muscogee, Thlopthlocco, Choctaw) curates and leads performances of three world premieres exploring the new generation of Native American composers. Dawn Avery (Mohawk), Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (Chickasaw), Laura Ortman (White Mountain Apache), and Martha Redbone (Choctaw) bring their unique musical voices and their own stories of growing up in America with world premieres to this celebration of new and existing works. Turtle Island refers to the origin story of North America as a great turtle, on whose back we have built our civilizations. This concert honors our current Native American artists and acknowledges their ancestors whose land we now call America.
