Description
Grand Canyon Music Festival
Native American Composer Apprentice Project
The 41st season of the Grand Canyon Music Festival presents performances of our NACAP apprentice composers’ original compositions, performed by the Catalyst Quartet!
Since 1985, the Festival has extended this gift of music to the students of northern Arizona’s under-served and rural communities, primarily at schools on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations.
In 2001, the Festival initiated its Native American Composers Apprentice Project (NACAP) to extend its outreach to training talented Native American students in the art of composition.
NACAP develops musical literacy and enhances critical thinking and decision making skills through the study of music composition. It introduces students to European “classical” music techniques, develops their understanding of their own musical heritages and how to use that knowledge to develop their own compositional voices.
This concert will take place at Shrine of the Ages Auditorium, 20 South Entrance Road, South Rim Grand Canyon.
The Festival is deeply grateful for the support NACAP receives from the National Endowment for the Arts; The Native Arts and Cultures Foundation; The Arizona Commission on the Arts, which receives funding from the State of Arizona and the National Endowment for the Arts; The Arizona Women’s Partnership; The Lewis Prize for Music; The Densford Fund of Riverside Church; and in-kind support from Grand Canyon National Park Lodges Xanterra Travel Collection.
