Opening Night Spotlight: Hear a Special Welcome from Tulsa Mayor Monroe Nichols!

From Executive Producer Bradley Cooper and narrated by Uzo Aduba, Caregiving is a deeply moving documentary that shines a light on the lives of paid and unpaid caregivers across the country. Through intimate personal stories and untold history, the film explores the emotional labor, societal gaps and quiet heroism of those who care for others, often with little support.

Join us for two powerful evenings of film and facilitated dialogue. Caregiving will be screened in halves over the two nights. Following the screening, attendees will hear from a panel of speakers.

The idea of sovereignty includes the right of a nation or a people to decide who might be a part of its community and how that community creates, changes, and enforces its membership.

As tribal nations continue to expand and experiment with their own sovereignty, key questions about enrollment, membership, and growth have begun to emerge. How does tribal enrollment, for example, intersect with the idea of sovereignty and how does this question shape the future of the nations both large and small?

To explore these complicated questions, the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities will host a roundtable discussion featuring experts from several different tribal nations that are grappling now with these thorny issues.

Moderated by Wilson Pipestem (Otoe-Missouri), this event will feature a wide-ranging discussion featuring Norbert Hill Jr. (Oneida), Lance Kelley (Creek, Cherokee, Shoshone-Paiute), Jim Gray (Osage), and Jennifer Hill Kelley (Oneida, Kiowa, Comanche).

This conversation grows from the new book, “Beyond Blood Quantum: Refusal to Disappear”, which features many native authors, academics, and tribal leaders. Event will conclude with an audience Q&A.

As always, this OCH event is free and open to all

This unique program features three outstanding performers: Pandit Subhen Chatterjee, a Grammy-nominated world-renowned tabla maestro, Jesse Bannister, acclaimed ethno-saxophone player from the UK, and Soumyajyoti, a sensational flute player from India.

Together, they blend Indian classical rhythms, jazz improvisation, and elements of Western classical music, creating a sound that transcends borders and traditions.

Tulsa’s very own King Cabbage Brass Band, which started partying at Cry Baby Hill in 2021 and hasn’t stopped since, joins Signature Symphony for a contagiously joyful selection of concert favorites blending funk, soul, jazz, and R&B.

Plus, embark with us on unique musical journeys guided by composer Nolan Stolz, who has spent years traveling the Mother Road composing Route 66 Suite along the way, and composer Mason Bates, whose electronically fused music makes a return to Tulsa with Alternative Energy, a symphonic story of energy that takes us from Chicago to Ford’s Farm and beyond. And of course, no drive from Tulsa to Chicago would be complete without a nod to St. Louis Blues.

Special thanks to The City of Tulsa, The Tulsa Arts Commission, and Vision Arts for their support of this concert with a Vision Arts 6 Grant.
