This program documents an extraordinary musical experience at the edge of Oregon's Crater Lake, known as giiwas to the Klamath Tribes. More than 130 musicians -- including classical musicians and Klamath drummers -- gathered at Crater Lake National Park to perform the world premiere of a powerful new score, "Natural History," inspired by the legendary lake.
