Join us for a FREE concert celebrating the healing vision of Vi taqᵂšəblu Hilbert.

Don't miss this extraordinary evening of music featuring Bruce Ruddell’s Healing Heart of the First People of This Land. This powerful, 50-minute work was commissioned by Upper Skagit elder Vi taqʷšəblu Hilbert shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as a vehicle for, in Hilbert’s words, “bringing healing to a sick world.” Premiered by the Seattle Symphony in 2006, the piece draws inspiration from two sacred Coast Salish songs Hilbert had entrusted to the composer and features a number of percussion instruments native to this region.

RSVPs requested for this free concert; walk-ups are welcome.
