'Enemy Slayer: A Navajo Oratorio' does speak to things I've been trying to do, which are melding in very tasteful ways multimedia into the concerts and also just trying to make the case for new music: that new music can be very relevant culturally, that it can sound beautiful and that it can tell a story in an easily discernible way the first time through.  ~Michael Christie
