A new database launched in July designed to make it easier for performing arts organizations to connect with indigenous creators in the arts – including writers, conductors, composers, performers and backstage technical professionals – and to raise the visibility of these artists. The Indigenous Directory for Musical Storytelling grew out of an idea of Cerise Lim Jacobs, founding artistic director of the activist opera company White Snake Projects. A Tempo host Rachel Katz chats with Jacobs and conductor Danielle Jagelski, who is included in the database, about the goals of the database and Native Americans in the performing arts world.
