The Plimpton Foundation

Earlier this week, PAC NYC (the Perelman Performing Arts Center) hosted "UnPACked" and announced their 2026-2027 season. The North American Indigenous Songbook is honored to be included in PAC's upcoming lineup. Mark your calendars for January 29, 2027 if you want to come see NAIS in NYC!

Congratulations to the Artists of Missing on their Juno Awards nomination in the category of Classical Album of the Year (Small Ensemble)! Among the forces that helped this project come to life were The Plimpton Foundation board members Marion Newman, who performed the role of Dr. Wilson, and Timothy Long, who conducted for the album recording.

We are excited to announce that Danielle Jagelski has joined our Board of Directors. She is an accomplished composer, conductor, producer and the artistic director and co-founder of Renegade Opera. Danielle is an enrolled citizen of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and Red Cliff Band of Ojibwe and has received support from The Plimpton Foundation in the past.

Danielle shares “when I was an emerging composer and conductor, The Plimpton Foundation helped open pathways where few existed, supporting not only my development in classical music, but the affirmation of Indigenous identity within it. Today, I am honored to serve on the board of directors and to help steward this essential work. At a moment when American culture and music are being reimagined, the Foundation’s mission of supporting Native music creators is urgent and transformative. The Plimpton Foundation is cultivating sonic sovereignty, artistic agency, and bold boundary-pushing artists: our Indigenous Future.”

Please join us in celebrating Danielle. We are so glad to have you supporting The Plimpton Foundation in this new way.
