Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate brings the sounds of Indian Country to the concert hall.
Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate’s compositions are finding evermore ardent fans among the public and musical institutions alike. This interview took place just days after his return to his Oklahoma City home from an eventful week in New York. While there he heard the New York Philharmonic play the string-arrangement premiere of his piece “Pisachi.” He also not only experienced the Carnegie Hall premiere of his “Clans” performed by the American Composers Orchestra; he also performed in it, singing alongside his 10-year-old son, Heloha. Onstage as well were several fellow members of the Chickasaw Nation dressed in traditional regalia.
Jerod’s work has been performed all over the country, and the rest of this musical season will remain busy for him. Dover String Quartet is touring his new quartet, “Woodland Songs”; Oklahoma’s Canterbury Voices premieres his first opera, “Loksi’ Shaali’ (Shell Shaker);” and he will curate an all-American-Indian program in Washington D.C. for the PostClassical Ensemble.
In this interview, Jerod, who is a 2022 inductee into the Chickasaw Hall of Fame, describes how he developed his distinctive multi-traditional composition style as well as his hyper-local and collaborative ethos.
