Nisenan Cultural Music Project - Vox Musica & The Nisenan Tribe from the Nevada City Rancheria

On January 13, 2016, an unsuspecting relationship began between a small Native American Tribe in the California foothills and a conductor and his women’s chorus from Sacramento. The friendship we have developed over the years is truly beautiful. Since 2016 the Nisenans have gifted us eleven tribal songs. Their songs are part of an ever-evolving larger musical composition, “We are, We have, We live,” that was commissioned to tell the story of the Nisenans’ through music and film. “We Are, We Have, We Live,” was premiered in collaboration with members of the Nisenan Native American Tribe of Nevada City Rancheria on April 14, 2018, in Grass Valley. The project and its performances provide us the rare opportunity to share and document the tribe’s rich tradition of culture and through music and film, share their history and struggle for federal recognition. We hope our art and music helps preserve and support the heritage, tradition, and spirit of a strong and beautiful group of indigenous people from the State of California.
