The piece, written for flute, clarinet, and bassoon, will be performed Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at 1548 Heights Boulevard as part of the free, two-day festival celebrating Indigenous artistry and innovation.

“I’m deeply honored and thankful to @mvskokemusic to be included among so many inspiring Indigenous artists,” Lindsey shared in announcing the news.

A violinist and composer trained in classical performance, Lindsey’s growing body of work weaves Indigenous language and perspective into orchestral and chamber music traditions. Her website features multiple pieces premiered at The Juilliard School, including Spring Dance for Clarinet and Oklahoma Woman Quartet, as well as a groundbreaking Requiem in the Cherokee language, believed to be the first of its kind by a Native American woman composer.

Lindsey’s music reflects both technical mastery and cultural pride, blending traditional instrumentation with modern harmonies and themes drawn from Cherokee history and identity.

The Good Medicine Indigenous Music Festival will feature performances by artists from tribal nations across the United States, showcasing a wide range of genres from classical to contemporary. Admission is free, and the public is encouraged to attend.
