Join the Native Arts & Cultures Foundation (NACF) and the Oregon Symphony for a free performance and artist Q&A around the original multimedia work Celilo Falls.
The piece features text by Ed Edmo (Shoshone-Bannock), narration by Brent Florendo (Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs), images by Joe Cantrell (Cherokee), and music by Oregon Symphony Principal Cellist and Composer, Nancy Ives.
The work tells the story of the majestic falls at Celilo, Oregon. Although the construction of The Dalles Dam destroyed this central site of Native American life for over 15,000 years, the traditions and resilience of the community live on today.
The evening will feature Aldo Garcia’s Iwalptaiksha (Singers), storytelling by Brent Florendo, an excerpt of Celilo Falls performed by an Oregon Symphony chamber ensemble, and a Q&A with the artists moderated by NACF President and CEO, Shyla Spicer (Yakama).
