Native American Music, Song, and Story

Peregrine School is honored to present the Capital City Powwow and Dance Corps. Presented on the outdoor stage at the south campus, the concert will feature traditional Native American drumming, beautiful flute, and inspired vocals. The fourth free concert in the Second Saturday Family Concert Series is supported, in part, by a grant from the City of Davis Arts and Cultural Affairs program. There is a suggested donation, but no one will be turned away due to lack of funds.

The group’s core is four siblings belonging to the Chumash Tribe which are often joined by musicians from other tribes as well as dancers. When not performing, three of the core members Corrina Snow and her two brothers, Joaquin and Benito Rojas, are beloved instructors at Peregrine School. In addition to being a talented multi-instrumentalist, Joaquin Rojas will enhance the concert experience by providing rich thought-provoking, often humorous, narration. Joaquin will also translate the songs which will be presented in various Native American languages.
