Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band

Celebrate the start of Native American Heritage Month with the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band — a powerhouse ensemble of Native and Indigenous jazz musicians. Led by the celebrated vocalist and luminary Julia Keefe (Nez Perce), the ensemble brings charisma, passion, and purpose to every stage, leaving audiences both inspired and educated. Songs have always been the vessels of stories and lessons for the Indigenous people of the Americas, and the Julia Keefe Indigenous Big Band aims to celebrate and continue that tradition. Their performance in the Sosnoff Theater at the Fisher Center is sure to be an unforgettable experience. Before the show (5:30 p.m.), enjoy complimentary seasonal bites by Chef Taelor Barton (Cherokee Nation) and explore a makers market featuring local and Indigenous jewelry and other wares, as well as information about local organizations, Bard’s affiliated programs, and more.
