Nelda Swiggett Quintet: 'Alaska Suite'
$10-$50
Nelda Swiggett – Alaska Suite
Seattle-area pianist, singer, and composer Nelda Swiggett has created a multimedia jazz piece titled Alaska Suite: a story of beauty, loss and hope because climate change is too big to leave to just the scientists. With that, sometimes the vision of an artist is needed to interpret complex issues. The Alaska Suite features a five-piece chamber jazz ensemble performing Swiggett’s original music. But Alaska Suite is not just a concert – this piece engages the power of artistic expression with live music, spoken words, images, poetry, and audience participation to connect audience members deeply and emotionally to the scientific realities of climate change. Swiggett’s artistic goal is to present a story of hope that leaves audiences inspired to take action.
Tickets: $20 ($10 low-income and students, $50 patrons). All proceeds support Carbon Washington Foundation.
