Glacier Symphony hosts celebration of Native American Heritage Month through music and art

One of Glacier Symphony’s most culturally rich and art-filled shows of the season is coming to the Wachholz College Center on Nov. 18 and 19.

The Glacier Symphony Orchestra, conducted by John Zoltek, will present multiple powerful orchestral pieces, including a premiere of a new Montana composition “The Hunting Moon,” and additional layers of concert entertainment during Vision Spirit Land. 

Many Native artists are featured in Vision Spirit Land and include University of Montana professor and Salish Kootenai poet, Heather Cahoon, Blackfeet artist and Montana’s 2023 Teacher of the Year, Keven Kickingwoman, and Missoula-based 3D-collage artist, Monica Gilles-BringsYellow. New Mexico-based world flutist, Suzanne Teng, will be performing with the orchestra.
