The Carolina Master Chorale presents, in both Myrtle Beach and North Myrtle Beach, a unique, musical exploration of the music of indigenous composers and performers. Creek-Choctaw pianist-conductor Timothy Long, Music Director of Eastman Opera Theatre of the renowned Eastman School of Music, and North Carolina Cherokee composer-performer James E. Green, will be joining CMC for this momentous occasion. The CMC will celebrate the artistry and traditions of members of the Lakota, Creek, Choctaw, Muskoke, Stockbridge Munsee, Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Anishinaabe tribes. Long also plays his own works and accompanies the CMC in a new arrangement of “Rhapsody in Blue (with George and Ira Gershwin),” by CMC pianist, D. Scott Ferguson. Carolina Master Chorale Music Director Timothy Koch has been friends with Long since their grad school days at the Eastman School of Music. “Mr. Long has become a national leader in the movement to establish a recognized “First Nation Songbook,” collecting the music of Native American composers. This was a subject the Carolina Master Chorale has never broached previously, and Mr. Long is the perfect collaborator.” Koch adds: “The Chorale’s role is to present artistic performances of choral music from this developing collection.” Trinity United Methodist Church, 706 14th Ave. S., NMB.
