Elisabeth Waldo Dentzel is a legendary musician and patroness of the arts who will review a history of her career and its influence on American culture in the 20th century. Dentzel is an amazing violinist (she was first chair for Leopold Stokowski) and recording artist, who has taken Indigenous and ethnic musical instruments and musicians to audiences across the country and the globe in a way that has artistically expanded and educated our understanding of music. Elisabeth and her late husband, Southwest Museum Director Carl Dentzel, made the museum a centerpiece for cultural exploration and personal interaction through her groups of ethnic musicians and a dedication to celebrating the past in the present.
