Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Bodhi Day and… National Violin Day?? This is a season of so many reasons to celebrate, with music from Arlo (Guthrie) to Zavateri: holiday classics old and new! The Hutchins Consort plays on the eight scaled violins designed and built by luthier Dr. Carleen Hutchins, whose research into the acoustic properties of string instruments resulted in an innovative process called free-plate tuning; a precise method of refining the top and back plates of a violin before it is assembled to bring it to peak acoustic performance.The fruits of her labor are the eight Hutchins violins, ranging in size from the 18.5-inch treble to the 7.2-foot contrabass. Like all violins, these instruments capture the emotional element of the music. But they have the additional advantage of being crafted as a complete set with the same harmonic DNA giving them the ability to produce a unique array of sounds that add a new dimension to the works they perform.

Museums have a unique opportunity to support this vision by being open to exhibiting Native artists in environments conducive to dialogue. We, as Native artists, carry the responsibility to activate these spaces and present our perspectives authentically, fostering a deeper understanding of our culture and artistry.
