The State of Alaska is sponsoring in the nation’s capital commemorations of the life and contributions of William Henry Seward on Thursday, March 30, 2017, with a luncheon at the National Press Club, a reception at the US State Department, and concluding with an evening performance of Wild Shore New Music.
Wild Shore New Music performs the work of living composers who have found inspiration through their experiences with the natural beauty and indigenous cultures of Alaska:
My Country, Tis of Thee sung by Jon Ross in the Dena’ina language
First Lady of Alaska Donna Walker: Why Alaskans Celebrate Seward’s Day
Shelley WASHINGTON: Their Name is Yours
John Luther ADAMS: Make Prayers to the Raven
John Luther ADAMS: The Light Within
Conrad WINSLOW: The End of the Road
Two of the composers, Conrad Winslow and Shelley Washington will be in Washington, and will attend the concert. Throughout the program, scenic and historical photos of Alaska will be projected on a backdrop screen that will enhance rather than distract from the musical program. This event will be live streamed.
