Grand Performances Presents: Voices Making Waves: Native American Women from the Eastern U.S

Save to Favorites

Grand Performances (GP) amplifies the voices of artists Layla Locklear (Tuscarora/Oglala Sioux), Charly Lowry (Lumbee/Tuscarora), and Bear Fox (Akwesasne/Mohawk Nation) for a first-time collaboration in Los Angeles.

Locklear is an accomplished musician, Native American rights activist, and advocate for Traditional Ecological Knowledge. Lowry makes passionate music that intersects with her activism in standing up for Lumbee and Native American rights. Both Locklear and Lowry are members of Ulali Project - one of the most important and enduring Native American women’s ensembles. The group is known for blending voice and hand percussion to create a groundbreaking contemporary sound which was warmly received by GP audiences in 2018. Bear Fox is a solo artist and member of the Akwesasne Women Singers, an ensemble of native voices driven to protect and preserve the Kanien'keha (Mohawk Language) traditional customs.


Volunteer tasks included assisting with checking in guest, ushering, and distributing and picking up surveys. Grand Performances would love for you to join us for an incredible evening.

This event is located at Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science
