Performance Today spoke to several young composers from the 2023 Native American Composer Apprentice Project about their experiences in the program. Since 1985, the Grand Canyon Music Festival has extended the gift of music to the students of northern Arizona’s under-served and rural communities, primarily at schools on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations. In 2001, the festival initiated its Native American Composers Apprentice Project (NACAP) to extend this outreach to training talented Native American students in the art of composition.
