Practicing a Premiere

With all the parts to Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio now in the hands of the musicians, it falls to Music Director Michael Christie to put it all together this week. We thought you might like to take a peek behind the scenes as the orchestra and chorus rehearse, and hear from Michael Christie, composer Mark Grey, and librettist Laura Tohe about the challenges facing the musicians in this monumental piece.
