Don't miss this extraordinary evening of music featuring Bruce Ruddell’s Healing Heart of the First People of This Land. This powerful, 50-minute work was commissioned by Upper Skagit elder Vi taqʷšəblu Hilbert shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a vehicle for, in Hilbert’s words, “bringing healing to a sick world.” Premiered by the Seattle Symphony in 2006, the piece draws inspiration from two sacred Coast Salish songs Hilbert had entrusted to the composer and features a number of percussion instruments native to this region.
