Join us for this special concert featuring music by three important composers in music history. Sergei Prokofiev’s First Symphony, which was written in the style of the classical period, is paired with music by “the Father of the Symphony,” Franz Joseph Haydn’s London Symphony. These two works highlight the evolving sound of the orchestra – and the connections that music has across time. Jerod Impichchaachaaha' Tate is a Chickasaw composer, who is one of the most important contemporary composers of our time, expressing his native culture in symphonic music. His work Chokfi’ is the Chickasaw word for rabbit, who is an important trickster legend within the Southeast American Indian cultures. Different string and percussion techniques and colors represent the complicated and diabolical personality of this rabbit person. In honor of his Muscogee Creek friends, Tate incorporated a popular tribal church hymn as the melodic and musical base.Sycuan Casino Resort is the Lead Sponsor of Music Connects, which is also proudly sponsored by Mission Federal Credit Union.

From the Mingei:Preston Singletary (Kagwaantan Tlingit, Killer Whale under Eagle Moiety), will elaborate on thoughts about the evolution of Native glass making as well as his art making process. The discussion will center around techniques he uses to create blown glass sculpture, monumental glass casting and show examples of public art projects.Singletary’s art has become synonymous with the relationship between Tlingit culture and fine art. His glass sculptures deal with themes of Tlingit mythology and traditional designs, while also using music to shape his contemporary perspective of Native culture.Singletary started blowing glass at the Glass Eye studios in Seattle, WA in 1982, where he grew up and continues to work and live. He developed his skills as a production glass maker and attended the Pilchuck Glass School. Singletary began working at the glass studio of Benjamin Moore, where he broadened his skills by assisting Dante Marioni, Richard Royal, Dan Dailey and Lino Tagliapietra. It was there where Singletary started to develop his own work. In 1993 he traveled for work to Sweden where he was influenced by Scandinavian design and met his future wife, Åsa Sandlund.In 2000 Singletary received an honorary name from elder, Joe David (Nuu Chah Nulth) and in 2009 Singletary received an honorary doctorate degree from University of Puget Sound (Tacoma, WA).
