The Singing Woods: An interview with Brent Michael Davids
Brent Michael Davids is a highly acclaimed concert and film composer, co-director of the Lenape Center in New York City, and an American Indian citizen of the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of the Mohican Nation. As an American Indian music specialist, Davids is in demand as educator and consultant for films, television, schools, festivals, seminars and workshops. He is a master performer of American Indian instruments and styles, and a designer of original musical instruments, including traditional Native American instruments that he reconceives and reinvents, including a soprano quartz flute (1989), bass quartz flute (1991), and a dozen other percussion devices that chirp or whistle.
This event is a presentation of a lively conversation between Davids and Dr. Jessica Bissett Perea, recorded in early February, 2022, for the Lenapehoking exhibit at Brooklyn Public Library. It will be followed by a live question-and-answer session with Davids.
A concert featuring pieces by Davids will be presented live in the Dweck Center on Sunday, April 10th. RSVP here
Lenapehoking is made possible in part with support from the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation.
