Experience an unforgettable evening with Connor Chee, an acclaimed Diné (Navajo) pianist and composer from Arizona whose music bridges cultures and tells powerful stories. Blending Western classical traditions with the rich heritage of the Navajo people, his works are both deeply personal and widely celebrated—including pieces featured in the NFMC Festival Bulletin.

A prodigy who made his Carnegie Hall debut at just 12 years old, Chee has gone on to earn national recognition for his evocative compositions and inspiring performances. Passionate about education and cultural preservation, he brings a unique and meaningful voice to the stage. Don’t miss his Friday night concert, an inspiring culmination to our Conference in Arizona!
