Featuring RAVEN CHACON and Friends! In The TANK’s profound resonance, Raven Chacon’s intense yet harmonious sonic language will make for an extraordinarily memorable experience. Mr. Chacon is a Diné composer, musician and artist. Born in Fort Defiance, Arizona, within the Navajo Nation, Chacon became the first Native American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Music, for his Voiceless Mass in 2022.
He has also been a solo performer of noise music and worked with groups such as Postcommodity.
Chacon’s chamber music scores, freely available on his Web site, offer myriad iterations of the ongoing use of Western instruments in unconventional ways. His technical demands are practical and meaningful, part of an intense yet harmonious language that happily bypasses pitch-based harmony or traditional form.
The Solstice Festival itself will continue all weekend, June 20 to 22, with gatherings, demonstrations and opportunities for all to make sonic art in The TANK. Complete Solstice Schedule to come.
