Abstract
Pianist and professor at the Conservatory of Music Roberta Rust gave a lecture performance on Native American piano music as part of the Art After Dark series at the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida, on August 16, 2024.
Featured in this lecture performance is the piano music of Connor Chee (Navajo), a composer and pianist born in 1987 and based in Phoenix, Arizona, who combines his classical piano training with his Native American heritage and Louis W. Ballard (Quapaw/Cherokee), known as the father of Native American composition. Ballard was a composer and educator, who lived most of his life (1931-2007) in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
