A multi-generational powerhouse ensemble playing original music by @kaaahhh_01
We had our annual NAU Percussion & Interference Series Collaborative Concert last Monday April 20th, which featured performances by the percussion studio and trio Parallel Play, along with a percussion quartet performing their own piece titled: āA fish questioned me,
No Alexis or Abby,
I guess Iāll ask Sethā
š«¶Thank you to Interference Series co-artistic directors @owen_davis_music928 and Rob Wallace for their inspiring collaboration and support!
š· This Thursday @beaverstreettheatre !!!
On April 30th at the Beaver Street Theatre, The Interference Series presents the Kai Natseway Big Band. This band will feature a blend of flagstaff locals, NAU students, and out-of-towners to collaborate and bring the original music of Kai Natseway to life! The music will include tunes from Kaiās growing songbook; some that you may recognize from gigs around town and some entirely new compositions being premiered for the first time! With influences from popular music to the avant-garde, Kai hopes that his tunes will provide food for the mind, as well as inspiration for the hips.
š„ Tonight @beaverstreettheatre !!
The Interference Series is excited to present this springās version of Das Nohs Club, the ensemble comprised of students from co-curator Rob Wallaceās NAU Honors College course Performance in Practice: Improvisation, Music, Performance Art, and Beyond. The course is an undergraduate ensemble dedicated to improvisation, experimental musics, and intermedia/multimedia performances. It is open to all majors and all skill levels (even ānon-musiciansā or ānon-artistsā). Students learn and perform a wide variety of musics and other performance traditions including improvisation, performance art, and other elements typically overlooked in mainstream Western artistic practice. This course is officially funded by a generous donation from R. Carlos Nakai and Pamela Hyde-Nakai, who believe in the transformative power of the arts and music. An NAU alum, R. Carlos is the worldās premier performer of the Native American flute, selling more than 4 million albums and earning eleven GRAMMY nominations. You can learn more about R. Carlos and his passion for music and performance on his website. Join Das Nohs Club for an evening of original and inspiring original compositions!
Thank you @creativeflagstaff š We were honored to be a 2-time finalist in the category of āExcellence in Collaborationā and be recognized by our community in the annual āViola Awardsā alongside NAU Jazz Studies! Congrats to all the other amazing finalists and winners from Saturday night.
Some beautiful moments from various events on Saturday, April 11th. We had such a magical time!
