Artist-composers Warren Realrider (Pawnee/Crow) and Nathan Young (Delaware Tribe of Indians, Pawnee and Kiowa descent) will present a new composition, Kitawîrisu’ (or The Gambler), a stochastic piece inspired by the chance operations of John Cage, the Fluxus artists, and John Zorn’s Cobra. Kitawîrisu’ incorporates extended compositional techniques, utilizing voice, phones, paper, and sticks, to generate sound through Asâru’—games of chance.

If you are interested in participating in this performance, we welcome you to join us for a workshop that afternoon.
