WSU Symphony Orchestra presents ‘Symphony Chaco’ with R. Carlos Nakai and special guests

Join an evening with the WSU Symphony Orchestra as it performs “Symphony Chaco,” featuring renowned Native American flutist R. Carlos Nakai, soprano Christina Martos and composer Gary Gackstatter as narrator. This special concert, part of the College of Fine Arts Connoisseur Series, will occur at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 21 in Miller Concert Hall at Duerksen Fine Arts Center. Tickets are available through the Fine Arts Box Office.

“Symphony Chaco” is the result of a years-long collaboration between Gackstatter and Nakai, whose music and philosophy inspired this powerful work exploring nature, culture and connection. Gackstatter reflects, “It was not just a dream come true; it was far beyond that.”
