Workshop: March 28, 2-4pm
Strata Gallery announces an Emerging Member solo exhibition Shimmering Gloom by New Mexico-based artist Brianna Tadeo, on view March 24th through April 3rd. The public is invited to a reception on March 27th from 5-7 pm at Strata Gallery.
Join us for a free unique workshop on March 28th from 2-4pm for an immersive experience exploring the captivating world of silver gelatin paper and the impermanence of photographic art by Brianna Tadeo. Reservation required on Eventbrite.
Brianna Tadeo (they/them) is a visual artist whose work explores impermanence and transformation through experimental photography. Utilizing analog and digital techniques, Tadeo embraces fragility, inviting images to crack, fade, and disintegrate in pursuit of unexpected beauty. Their practice is rooted in curiosity and the quiet magic of light and material change.
Shimmering Gloom invites viewers into a world where photography is not just about capturing a moment, but about transformation and the shimmer that appears amid change. Tadeo offers a poetic meditation on light, loss, and the beauty found in impermanence.
Tadeo holds a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA from the University of New Mexico. Their work has been exhibited nationally and recognized by SF Camerawork’s FORECAST 2025 and Lenscratch as one of the "Top 25 Students to Watch."

POTUS
POTUS
Or, Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive
Written by Selina Fillinger
Directed by Amrita Dhaliwal & Robyn Rikoon
A farce about seven powerful women in the White House who must frantically work to contain a global crisis caused by the President’s disastrous PR stunt, which escalates from a scandal into a potentially worldwide catastrophe. As they try to clean up the Commander-in-Chief’s mess, they find themselves risking their careers, reputations, and even their lives in a desperate, often absurd attempt to keep the President from sinking the nation.

Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra
OTTMAR LIEBERT & LUNA NEGRA
Ottmar Liebert’s global success can be attributed to a myriad of things – his creative vision, his determination, and a strong sense of melody. Born in Cologne, Germany, he began playing guitar at 11. Before the age of 19, Liebert had intended to stay in Germany and pursue a career as a designer and photographer. However, while journeying extensively through Asia and playing with other travelers and local musicians, he realised that he could not escape a life of music. After pursuing his dreams of playing rock music in Boston, he settled in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Santa Fe was a fresh start for Liebert in many ways and in addition to returning to the acoustic guitar, he remained open to letting the place define the music he made. It was this openness to the local landscape that defined what was to become his musical style, a mix of Spanish, Mexican and World elements, strong melodies tinged with a shade of melancholy, balanced with upbeat rhythms.
Liebert founded the first incarnation of his band, Luna Negra, in 1989. His debut album began as a self-produced release called Marita: Shadows and Storms, copies of which local Native American artist, Frank Howell, distributed in his art galleries. After the record made its way to radio stations, it began generating a buzz among programmers and received unprecedented response among listeners. Higher Octave Music picked it up and released a fully remastered version, Nouveau Flamenco. Recorded for less than $3,000 on an old analog machine in a shack beside a gravel pit, this CD became an international sensation, establishing Liebert’s unique border-style flamenco, and becoming the best-selling instrumental acoustic guitar album of all time:
2 x Platinum – USA
14 x Platinum – USA/Latin
Platinum – Australia
Platinum – New Zealand
Gold – Canada
Gold – Mexico
Visual art has always been essential to Ottmar Liebert’s world-view and even today he is an avid photographer. “My music is visual,” Liebert says. “Santa Fe has great light, that special thing you get in the high desert. Some days you can see for 100 miles, and think you can reach into the sky or walk off a ridge and keep flying. That’s how I felt when I recorded Nouveau Flamenco.”
Liebert has since become one of the most successful instrumental artists of the past decades, entertaining audiences around the world and releasing a catalog of 33 classic albums including live recordings, an orchestral album for Sony Classical, a binaural surround sound recording, remix albums, a lullaby and a flamenco-reggae album. During his career, he has played more than two thousand concerts worldwide. Ottmar Liebert and Luna Negra have played two concerts with the New Mexico Philharmonic featuring Liebert’s music arranged by bassist, Jon Gagan. These two concerts, to date, have broken attendance records for the New Mexico Philharmonic. Ottmar Liebert has been nominated for five Grammy awards.

Todd & the Fox
Todd and the FoxTodd and the Fox bring their Norteño Mountain Folk Funk back to Rufina Tap Room on Friday, March 27.
Founded by Todd Eric Lovato and Erik Sawyer, the band is made up of a cast of strong New Mexico musicians: Brian Nelson on bass guitar (Glorieta Pines, Ninja Star), Bryan Highhill (Lumpy) on trumpet and keys, Sawyer on drums and percussion, and Lovato on electric banjo and guitar.
The band moves comfortably between playful and dark. Their songs carry humor and bite — stories about historical trauma and patriotism, red foxes, mental illness and genius, sordid foreign exchange trips gone wrong, the 1847 assassination of New Mexico Governor Bent, and anthropomorphic exotic cat dancers.
The grooves are steady, the arrangements tight, and the tone balances wit with weight.
On any given night, the band might also throw in a cover from Funkadelic, The Flaming Lips, Watchhouse, The Flamingos, Pink Floyd, Harry Nilsson, Gillian Welch, or others.
This show will introduce a handful of new songs and newly arranged material as the band prepares to record its forthcoming album later this year. Expect fresh energy, expanded textures, and the same sharp songwriting that defines the group’s sound.
Todd and the Fox have taken their music throughout the Southwest and as far as South Korea, building a reputation for focused, high-energy performances rooted in strong musicianship and clear storytelling. Todd Lovato is a five-time New Mexico Music Award winner. Music from Todd and the Fox is available on all major streaming platforms. Learn more at https://todd.world.

The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.
With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.
An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

Chimayo: A Tradition of Faith
New Mexico History Museum presents the exhibition “Chimayó: A Tradition of Faith,” on display April 12, 2025, to May 31, 2027, exploring the history and enduring spiritual significance of the Santuario de Chimayó’s annual pilgrimage.
A public reception hosted by the Museum of New Mexico Foundation Women’s Board will be held on Saturday, April 26, 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.
The exhibition captures the essence of the pilgrimage through the lens of four photographers. Sam Howarth made the pilgrimage to Chimayó many times and initiated the documentation of this living tradition in 1996. He invited photographers Miguel Gandert, Oscar Lozoya, and Cary Herz to participate, along with oral historians Dr. Enrique R. Lamadrid and Troy Fernández. Howarth received a grant from the New Mexico Endowment for the Humanities to support this project.
The Santuario de Chimayó draws the largest religious pilgrimage in the US during Christian Holy Week. More than 30,000 people make the annual journey through the winding mountain villages of Northern New Mexico to the small adobe church. Many come to obtain the famous healing “holy earth” within the sanctuary.
“All are welcome on the pilgrimage. Young children, adults, and the elderly walk to the Santuario de Chimayó from as far away as Albuquerque or Santa Fe to remember family members who have passed away, in search of blessings and miracles, and to obtain the famous healing ‘holy earth,’” says Cathy Notarnicola, Curator of Southwest History. “All are united in spirit as they traverse their way across the landscape to the Santuario de Chimayó.”
“Chimayó: A Tradition of Faith” also features a recreation of the Santuario’s ex-voto rooms. These rooms and spaces, where pilgrims leave offerings, feature a diverse collection of meaningful objects, from paintings and prints of santos to photographs, letters, locks of hair, military dog tags, and crutches, all testaments to the faith and hope that draw people to Chimayó.
While the sanctuary has been a meaningful place for Christians, its history as a sacred place goes back to time immemorial. The word Chimayó, derived from the Native Tewa term Tsi-Mayoh, was given by Pueblo Indians, who used the area as a healing site long before the arrival of Spanish colonists.

A Thousand Voices
To commemorate March as Women’s History Month, the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture is partnering with Silver Bullet Productions to screen “A Thousand Voices”.
This is the story of Native American women in New Mexico, from the creation stories of the beginning of time, through the invasions from Spain, Mexico, and United States.
From the proverb, “It takes a thousand voices to tell a single story,” this is a documentary that builds from thousands of voices to present one universal story of New Mexico’s Native American women. Ticket included with museum
TLC Stained Glass Studio Classes
TLC Stained Glass is an art studio and gallery in Santa Fe. We specialize in creating custom stained glass panels, as well as completing repairs and restorations, and teaching workshops to both locals and visitors to our "City Different."
TLC Stained Glass began as many things do, as a hobby in a garage. I’d just left my first vocation, a decade of teaching science, and I was feeling adrift. Over lunch, Anton Delgado, a dear friend, had mentioned that he’d been a stained glass artist on and off for over 40 years, but that he was retired now and more or less done with his tools and materials. He was generous enough to give me a one-off lesson and turn me loose with some extra materials he had. Over the coming months, he got to see my skill and interest grow and I was accepted into an apprenticeship at a local Glass Studio.
Anton passed in 2023, but got to see the studio come to fruition before he went home. Even on his deathbed, he wanted to offer me more books, more ways to continue my exploration.
I opened TLC Stained Glass in 2021 and continue to honor Anton’s memory and my own creative heart by teaching workshops, completing commission work, and repairing and restoring old or broken stained glass works. I firmly believe that everyone should explore opportunities to make, and that stained glass isn’t just for church windows!

MindChatter: Giving Up on Words Tour
MINDCHATTER
Singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Bryce Connolly, better known as Mindchatter, has built a reputation for his genre-defying electronic music, blending introspective lyrics with infectious, danceable beats.
In 2023, he released two back-to-back EPs, Spiritual Puberty and the grittier, dance-floor-ready This Is A Reminder That You Are Not Behind Your Face. These followed his first two studio albums, Imaginary Audience and DREAM SOUP.
Renowned for his dynamic live performances that feature an immersive audio-visual experience along with him singing and playing several instruments, Mindchatter has done his own headline tours along with supporting acclaimed artists like Polo & Pan and SG Lewis.
In 2024, Mindchatter achieved a milestone selling out his 23-date A Chorus Of Monologues North American headline tour, followed by international dates across the UK, Europe, Canada, and the U.S., again selling out venues worldwide. He closed out the year with a direct support show at a sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheater.
Mindchatter has also become a staple on the festival circuit with appearances at Outside Lands, Life Is Beautiful, CRSSD, Electric Forest, Bonnaroo, Lightning In A Bottle, Coachella’s DoLab, iii Points, Hulaween, Okeechobee, and countless other marquee events.
November 2025 marked the release of his third studio album, Giving Up On Words. Says Connolly, “This album is the closest I’ve come to defining Mindchatter. Giving Up On Words is about the quiet battle between the thoughts and their observer. It intentionally drifts between genres but stays consistent - whether it’s a dance track or a ballad, the feeling is familiar.”
In February 2026, Mindchatter will embark on his Giving Up On Words Tour, where he will debut a reimagined live show and his biggest stage production yet.

Bex Marshall
Bex Marshall: A Blues Trailblazer Reinvents the Roots
Born amid the windswept coasts of Plymouth, Devon, Bex Marshall has emerged as one of Britain’s fiercest blues voices—both vocally and on guitar. Drawing from her aristocratic lineage and Irish-Romany mystique, she began her musical journey at just 11, when she received a 1963 Gibson Hummingbird from her uncle. That pivotal gift launched her into an odyssey of classical, flamenco, ragtime, country-pickin’, rock and homegrown blues—ultimately forging her signature hybrid style of slide, ragtime, blues-rock, and soulful roots playing
Marshall’s voice channels heartache with raw, piercing emotion—a “melting pot of old black woman’s heartache and rock diva soul” . Her guitar isn’t just accompaniment; it tells its own stories—with technical ragtime and ballsy slide Bex delivers resonator magic that peers call “the goal”
For British blues guitar virtuoso Bex Marshall, music has always been a passport, at 17, Marshall took her first steps into the world—working as a croupier on cruise ships and playing underground poker in Amsterdam. She hitchhiked across Australia, backpacking with her guitar, collecting travel stories that fueled her songwriting. Those years imbued her music with grit and global perspective: from smoky American blues clubs to vibrant Brazilian stages, from festival sets flanked by bikers in Iowa to close calls with snakes and crocodiles on Australia’s Cape Tribulation Road.
After releasing Kitchen Table (2008), her debut The House of Mercy (2012) launched her reputation internationally—earning UK Blues Awards recognition and DownBeat’s four-star praise. She’s also a four-time European Blues Award nominee and a winner of the Best British Blues Vocalist poll in 2013.
Marshall’s long-awaited fourth album, Fortuna, dropped March 1, 2024 via Dixiefrog Records.
On guitar, she reigns supreme—her slide work has drawn comparisons to Bonnie Raitt and Derek Trucks, Influences like Tina Turner, Janis Joplin, Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, and Gary Moore shine through in Marshall’s powerful vocals and dynamic guitar work. From the tear-stained reflection of “5 AM”—a bluesy ballad echoing late-night regrets—to the funk-rock swagger of the title track’s instrumental, her guitar fingers tell stories of passion, loss, defiance, and survival.
Backing her is an all-star ensemble: Richie Stevens (drums), Toby Baker (keys), B.J. Cole (dobro), Robert “Red” Daniels (bass), gospel singer Shola Adegoroye, and more—a lineup that fuels Fortuna’s rich textures.
Bex also was the voice of Janis for the Big Brother and the Holding Companys SAM ANDREWS UK tours in 2013 powerful as her slide guitar lines. With Fortuna, she invites us all to ride the wave.

Big Richard
BIG RICHARD
Bluegrass band Big Richard makes music for the 21st century’s twisted cultural unease. Their latest album Pet, is a fierce, provocative, rejoinder to what troubles them and the world right now, which was recorded live to tape in order to capture the fervor of their live shows.
Big Richard is so much about our energetic delivery, and so I think it's been really important for us as a group to figure out how to do that for a record,” says mandolin and guitar player Bonnie Sims.
“We made the album all on tape and did it all in these single-shot performances,” cellist Joy Adams adds. “The collection of songs, we wanted to take our most hard driving, heavy hitting songs, we wanted to craft a banger set list. Like, if we had a 30-minute set, what would we put on there that says the most, and makes people feel the broadest bunch of feelings? And it was all these songs.”
Adams and Sims both studied music and toured and played extensively before (and outside of) joining Big Richard, as did the other members of the band: Adams has three degrees in cello, toured with Darol Anger and Nathaniel Rateliff, and has recorded for television and film (including the Queen’s Gambit); Sims, who grew up playing music with her family, has a degree in commercial music, with a vocal specialization in yodeling, toured and recorded extensively with her husband, Taylor Sims (including a platinum-certified record); fiddler Eve Panning, who also grew up playing with her family, studied violin performance and music education, taught orchestra, and played in bluegrass bands, including touring widely with classical group Barrage; and bassist Hazel Royer started out playing music with her dad Eric Royer in the Boston, MA folk and rock music scene, and studied at the Berklee College of Music.
Pet, the band’s sophomore studio album, was engineered by Mark Anderson and produced by the Big Richard members, will be released February 5, 2026 on Signature Sounds. Anchored by staples from the band’s live sets, the album includes their urgent, vociferous version of Dave Olney’s anti-capitalist anthem, “Millionaire,” and an equally-vehement rendition of the anti-gun violence treatise, “Red Fox Run,” written by Cecelia and Andy Thorn (of Leftover Salmon). Both songs are emotionally potent at shows, and the audience’s anger often palpable; feeling it together as they play is cathartic, Sims says.
Big Richard opens Pet full force, with a blistering medley of Sims’ song, “It’s Gonna Fall” and the Bill Monroe fiddle tune, “Old Daingerfield”: “Our air has turned to poison and our water catches flame / You know we’re blowing out the ground under our beds in which we lay / And we’re digging holes we’ll never fill, the ground shakes to protest / But we just close our minds and eyes and ears, there ain’t no stopping progress,” Sims sings about her despair at the destruction of the natural world through fire and flood, and the fracking wells she sees springing up in Colorado. (At shows, the band also jibs at Monroe’s infamous habit of claiming credit for all songs written by his band members, by joking that Sims wrote both tunes.)
“A lot of the time in our sets, we like to follow a heavy-hitting song with an instrumental that meets that energy,” Panning says of tacking “Old Daingerfield” onto the end of “It’s Gonna Fall.” “It feels good to reflect on something for a moment, or keep going with it, and keep that energy somewhere.”
The band applied the same pressure release system on Pet, which features two entirely instrumental tracks written by Panning. Comparatively gentle, “K’s March,” inspired by a musical phrase Panning’s roommate used to sing around the house, follows “Millionaire” with a wholesome old-time jam track that lets audiences blow off steam after being wound tight; and later in the album, “Circus Jerk” (double entendre intended), hints at the band’s raunchy stage banter and bluegrass music’s reputation for showoff solos (by giving each band member her
moment to rip).
“We're in the most musically locked spot we've been in thus far, since I've been in the band, and this album feels like a really good reflection of that,” says Royer, who joined in 2023.
Unapologetically outrageous and provocative, the band’s name is a wink to the ‘big dick’ energy Big Richard is reclaiming from male bluegrass bands. They’re intent on making audiences laugh and feel a little uncomfortable, for the sake of making them think, as well. To that end, the album’s cover portrays the band dressed in deranged clown outfits and crouching on railroad tracks in front of an oil refinery. And its title track “Pet,” delivered like a slightly demented circus sound track and written by Adams, is a rich paean for the people society too often lets fall through the cracks.
“I wrote it thinking about people who are stuck in circumstances outside of their control, whether they were born into it or not. That might be childhood trauma or poverty or a chronic health problem, or something that they didn't choose, and they're just hauling it around with them,” Adams says. “I think in a deeper sense, the song is reflective of how many people get lost in the big turning of the world right now.” It’s a sentiment and a sound she doubles down on later on the album with the spooky music box track, “Holy Holy,” about religious/childhood trauma and growing up with an addict in the house.
Big Richard’s power to deliver emotionally evocative music derives in part from their rare make up. Though the album also employs toy piano, banjo, and octave mandolin, the band primarily performs on bass, mandolin and guitar, fiddle, and with Adams on cello, which adds an extra sonic dimension for bluegrass (though Adams, who wrote her doctoral dissertation on the history of cello in fiddle music, says the cello actually predates the bass in string bands).
Still, among the strife and intensity, Pet leaves room for a little sweetness. First with “Alaska,” a yearning love-song Royer wrote about a crush when she was 16, and then with a cover of Hank Cochran’s “Make the World Go Away,” which concludes the album, and often their live show, too. At concerts, the band’s four members descend from the stage, and play the song clustered together in a clearing in the crowd, a final act of gathering after an intense show.
“Our live performances are so raw and so gritty, and I think that our sound never really flourished in that digital landscape.” Adams says. “[Recording live to tape] we were all in the same room together, very close together, with a lot of mic bleed, etc. And the energy was insane. It felt so good to record this way. Even on the first day, we were like ‘wow, this sounds like our band.’ And to do something that's very real and gritty and has little mistakes in it just feels alive and human.”

54 ULTRA
In the kaleidoscopic world of music, 54 Ultra emerges as a beacon of sonic fusion, weaving synthy indie rock with a Latin soul heartbeat. Based out of New Jersey, 54 Ultra is the musical project of songwriter and producer JohnAnthony (Johnny) Rodriguez.
Offering music that is both honest and melodic, with a charismatic stage presence to match, 54 Ultra is carving out a space uniquely his own, defined by a garage pop and soul sound.
Through a combination of interning in a New Jersey studio and self-teaching, Johnny built a solid foundation in music production before stepping into the spotlight with his own artist project.
In early 2025, Johnny headed to Miami to work with Kali Uchis on her latest album, Sincerely, where he produced the track “All I Can Say.”
In 2024, he shared his debut single, “Where Are You,” which quickly gained traction online, introducing listeners to a sound that feels both timeless and fresh. A year later, he released his debut EP First Works, which Billboard named one of the Best Projects of the Year (So Far).
The six-track collection features fan favorites like “Upside Down” and “No Tengo Valor”, and was followed by four sold-out shows in New York and Los Angeles.
Most recently, 54 Ultra shared “I Won’t Go,” a Spanglish synth ballad that further showcases his ability to blend emotional depth with vibrant, genre-blurring soundscapes.
Just a little over a year after releasing his first single, it was announced that 54 Ultra will perform at Coachella 2026.
Leading up to the festival, he will be opening for Kali Uchis at her San Jose show, embarking on a nearly sold-out North American tour, and playing his first European headline shows in London, Amsterdam, and Paris, before closing out the year with a performance at Festival Color Caribe in Puerto Rico

SARAH KINSLEY
New York based Sarah Kinsley’s music evokes all the feelings. A schooled but intuitive musician/singer/producer, she explores doubts and dreams in her captivating and sometimes ironic alt-pop songs. Distinctive and atmospheric she delves into the intimate and the expansive, the introspective and the cinematic. Narratively driven, there’s a dreamlike quality to her lyrics, whilst musically it runs the gamut from a hazy, alluring dream-pop to the more adventurous leftfield pop too.
Escaper, Sarah's debut album, was the 2024 follow-up to her introductory EPs ~ The near instantaneous virality of The King (2021), the cinematic Cypress (2022) and the widescreen Ascension (2023). A vibrant collection of songs, Escaper was born from Sarah's boundless desire to escape into portals and other realms. It was a musician rejoicing in holding nothing back and whose love of all things experimental and raw were reflected in her words and melodies.
It was in the spring of 2025, while riding in cabs and walking the streets of New York by night, inspiration struck again. A moment of realisation hit her imagination like a bolt of electricity, a feeling so cathartic it became the foundation for her returning single, Fleeting: a euphoric, pulsating and richly melodic dance-pop track. If Escaper was the sound of an artist getting a feel for where she might fit in, Fleeting is exactly that. A feeling. A freedom. A rush. A dance floor? An introduction to her next world.

Strata of New Mexico Art
Stratas of New Mexico Art 2026�Juried Exhibition
�April 7 - April 24, 2025�Reception: April 10, 5-7pm
Santa Fe, NM |
Strata Gallery presents Stratas of New Mexico Art, a juried exhibition featuring artists living and working across the state. On view from April 7 through April 24, with a reception on April 10, the exhibition brings together a range of practices that reflect the breadth of New Mexico’s contemporary art community.
Selected through an open call, the exhibition highlights artists working across a variety of materials and approaches. Sculpture, painting, and photography appear alongside experimental processes and unexpected forms, offering a snapshot of the ideas and investigations shaping artistic practice in the region today.
Ben Utigard’s Cactus Shoes transforms a familiar object into an unconventional sculptural form. Coated in hydrocal plaster and acrylic paint and covered in cholla cactus spines, the work merges humor with a distinctly Southwestern material language. Utigard’s practice centers on creating one-of-a-kind non-traditional objects that reflect his observations about technology, communication, and the environment.
Carol Lujan, a clay and glass artist and citizen of the Navajo Nation, lives and works in New Mexico. Her fused glass piece Grandmother’s Legacy Series draws inspiration from traditional Navajo weaving and the designs of her grandmother’s rugs, as well as historical Navajo textiles from the mid-1800s. By translating these patterns into fused glass, Lujan brings traditional Indigenous design into a contemporary medium, creating work that honors cultural knowledge while expanding its material possibilities.
Frances Seward’s Intergalactic Hydrothermal Vents explores light, perception, and the subconscious through abstraction. Using photographic processes and translucent materials, Seward creates luminous forms that appear suspended in space. The resulting image suggests an interior landscape shaped by light and movement.
Working across sculpture, painting, photography, and mixed media, the artists included in Stratas of New Mexico Art offer a range of perspectives and approaches. Together, the exhibition reflects the ongoing energy and experimentation within New Mexico’s artistic community.
Strata Gallery is open from 11 am to 5 pm Tuesday – Saturday. For more information about Strata Gallery, the current exhibit, and the future schedule of events, please visit the Strata Gallery website and Instagram.
Exhibiting Artists:
Angela Kirkman, Ben Utigard, Carol Lujan, Choro, Dara Mark, Dave Volden, Debora Ratliff, Deborah Auten, Diane G. Rolnick, Donna Fleetwood, Duane Monczewski, Estelle L. Roberge, Frances Seward, Francesca Yorke, Gary Chaffin, Jenna Ritter, Jerry Defrese, José-Luis Hurtado, Karina Hean, Karl Orozco, Kevin Bartlett, Kevin Black, Leah Hardy, Liz Obert, Lysha Montiel, Patty deGrandpre, Phyllis Gunderson, Rebecca Pyle, Robert Hoerlein, Sandi Ludescher, Stephanie Baness, Terrie Mangat, Timothy Nero, and Vanessa Gonzalez.
Creating A Children's Discovery Garden
Please join us for breakfast at Weldon’s Museum Hill Café on Wednesday, April 8th, for an engaging discussion on the Garden’s exciting next phase of growth.
Begin the morning with Christie Collins, our Director of Education, who will frame the vision for how the future Children’s Discovery Garden will foster hands-on learning, curiosity, and meaningful connections to nature. Designers from Surroundings Studio will then share the creative process behind the Garden’s interactive and interpretive features, grounded in science and play. After breakfast, step onto the actual site—currently undeveloped and on the cusp of transformation—for a guided walk through the future Children’s Discovery Garden ahead of this summer’s groundbreaking. Reservations required; garden admission included.
Christie Collins is a naturalist with over 15 years of experience in environmental education, interpretation, and conservation. She serves as Vice Chair of the Global Entomology Coalition and represents New Mexico within the National Association for Interpretation. Her career has included leadership roles in science education, habitat restoration, and public programming across the country. Christie holds degrees in Biology and Parks, Recreation, and Tourism Management and is passionate about advancing invertebrate conservation.
Kenneth Francis, FASLA, is the founding principal of Surroundings, a New Mexico–based multidisciplinary design studio. He holds degrees in architecture from The Cooper Union and landscape architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, where he researched the historic acequia landscapes of Northern New Mexico. His work explores the cultural and ecological dimensions of water, shaping innovative designs recognized regionally and nationally.
Abby Feldman holds a Master of Landscape Architecture from Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, where she received the Jacob Weidenman Prize for design excellence. After more than a decade with award-winning firms and leading a Post-Katrina recovery project in New Orleans, she returned to Santa Fe to join Surroundings. Her work spans community gardens, public parks, and private landscapes, with a focus on community-centered design that bridges wild landscapes and the infrastructure that supports them.

Chocolate & Coffee Fest
A cross-pollination of numerous influences, including cabaret, spaghetti Westerns, norteño, punk, and the immigrant dance music of Eastern Europe, Colorado-based quartet DeVotchKa, formed in Denver by multi-instrumentalists Nick Urata (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Tom Hagerman (violin, accordion), Jeanie Schroder (sousaphone, bass) and percussionist Shawn King, emerged as unlikely indie heroes in the mid-2000s infusing modern indie music with a global flavor.
They found widespread success in 2006 with their Grammy-nominated soundtrack to the hit indie film Little Miss Sunshine. Signing with revered indie, Anti-, the band delivered A Mad and Faithful Telling in early 2008, reaching the number nine slot on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. A lengthy world tour followed, including stops at major festivals like Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Bumbershoot. After doing more soundtrack work, this time for the 2009 comedy I Love You Phillip Morris, the group returned to the studio for 2011’s moody and triumphant 100 Lovers. Embarking on another world tour, they collaborated with the Colorado Symphony on the 2012 concert album Live with the Colorado Symphony. Over the next several years, Urata became increasingly involved in his own film composition career, scoring movies like Crazy Stupid Love, Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, Paddington, and the Netflix series A Series of Unfortunate Events. Meanwhile, the band regrouped for a lengthy recording session, eventually returning in 2018 with their sixth album, This Night Falls Forever, this time via Concord Records.

Una Mas y La Cha Cha
The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.
With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.
An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

-----
KMAX is a French-Canadian singer, songwriter, and performer shaping the sound of a new era. Born in Haiti and raised in Montreal, KMAX (Karl Max Roseau) first found his voice in church choirs and talent shows. After moving to Canada at age 10 with his mother and siblings, he overcame a tough upbringing—marked by poverty, the absence of a father figure, and street-related adversity—through music and sports.
A former #1-ranked middleweight fighter in the Montreal Fight League (MFL), KMAX’s discipline and resilience have become trademarks of his artistry. In 2018, he released his powerful book Le Gentleman Cogneur, followed by co-authoring the international bestseller How Big Can You Dream.
His musical journey took a major leap when he moved to Los Angeles in 2020, recording Fallen (2021), and signing a publishing deal with Concor/Sony Music Entertainment in 2021. He followed with the futuristic Metaverse (2022), the uplifting EP Ontop of the World, and most recently, the heartfelt Letter to Her (2024)—a deeply emotional album blending raw storytelling with cinematic sound.
KMAX’s music flows between Pop, Hip-Hop, Rap, and R&B, marked by powerful vocals, introspective lyrics, and genre-blending production. He’s performed across Canada, including on Madchild’s 2023 Canada Tour, the conceptual Exodus Tour in 2024, and headlined venues like The Farsides in Montreal.

SHAKEY GRAVES
Across his career, Shakey Graves—a.k.a. the performance moniker of Austin, Texas-born Alejandro Rose-Garcia—has intentionally created thrilling musical adventures tailored to each fan: burning CDs and putting them in personalized decorated bags; building intricate scavenger hunts that send fans in search of unique tapes; and Bandcamp-exclusive releases.
"The fans and musicians that really resonate with me—and the inexplicable ways that I find things that I like—are usually entirely through randomness and chaos and accident," Rose-Garcia says. "I've always been on this quest to make people feel like my own music is a choose your own adventure."
In 2024 Rose-Garcia celebrated the ten year anniversary of his And The War Came album with a special 10 Year Anniversary Edition release featuring never before heard demos and b-sides from the recording process and inviting fans to enter the long-since abandoned Music House.
His story continues to unfold, but Shakey Graves Is Still A Gentleman From Texas.

Cydeways is an Alternative band out of Santa Barbara, CA. Fronted by Dustin Parks, Cydeways also features Casey Kernohan, Kevin Harvey, Trevor Buckingham (producer/engineer) & Dana Shoults (co-producer). The group initially formed in Boston, MA before Parks moved the project out west to California.
The group eventually caught the attention of Law Records and in speaking with Law’s Yesod Williams, he shares how Cydeways wound up on his radar, telling The Pier: “I was podcasting Joe D. from Iration and he mentioned Cydeways to me. He’s friends with Dustin. After a little time, Hawaiian time that is, I finally reached out to Dustin. He sent me a track he had coincidentally done featuring another mutual friend in the Rhymesayers artists, Grieves, serendipity? I’d say so!”

Hannibal Buress
From within the bustling heart of the Windy City, a comedian named Hannibal Buress embarked upon his journey. The year was 2002, the location, the Big Muddy Room at Southern Illinois University. Guided by the wisdom of his friend Chidi and sharpened in the fires of Tony Trimm's "Sunday School sessions," young Buress was prepared to take the comedy world by storm.
In 2006, he emerged from the shadows, performing at Montreal's 'Just for Laughs' New Faces, an event that led to his first international appearance on "Late Night with Jörgen Raymann" in Holland. From that moment, he continued to grow, creating a series of successful stand-up specials including "Animal Furnace," "Live From Chicago," "Hannibal Takes Edinburgh," "Comedy Camisado," and "Miami Nights".
Fate intervened in 2009, when a last-minute booking on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" led to a meeting with Seth Meyers. This encounter gave him the opportunity to write for the legendary show "Saturday Night Live." It was there, my young turtles, where Buress had one sketch air – a moment he credits to the creativity of his cousin Percy. He cherishes the memory of watching Rihanna uttering his lines in the "Shy Ronnie" sketch. After a season there, he moved to "30 Rock," filling the space left vacant by the departure of Donald Glover.
In the realm of film, Buress has proven his versatility, showcasing his talents in "Neighbors," "Neighbors 2," "Baywatch," "Daddy's Home," "Spiderman: Homecoming," "Spiderman: Far From Home," and "Tag." He also provided a memorable performance as Lincoln the dentist on "Broad City" and lent his voice to animations like "The Secret Life of Pets" and "The Angry Birds Movie."
From 2009 to 2017, Buress held court at the "Comedy at the Knitting Factory," his charm and wit making an indelible mark on late-night television, featuring on shows such as "David Letterman," "Conan," "Stephen Colbert," and "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah."
In 2022, he underwent a transformation, shedding his skin to become Eshu Tune in the world of music. His rhythmic anthems like "Veneers remix" with Danny Brown and Paul Wall, the lively bowling song "1-3 Pocket," and the meticulously crafted "I Lift Weights" echo through the streets. This endeavor was made possible through collaborations with creative minds like Kiefer, Tru, Eshu Tune, Wahsabi Papi, Kenny Segal, Eryn Allen Kane, and Haile Supreme. Through these transformations, Hannibal Buress remains a true warrior in the world of entertainment

Zia Rising: The 47th State
President Taft proclaimed New Mexico the 47th state of the Union on January 5, 1912. When our final territorial governor got the big news, his 16-year-old daughter proudly raised a brand-new 47-star flag over the State Capitol in Santa Fe—and church bells rang out in celebration.
We were one of the last states to join the contiguous United States—even though we were home to the country’s first European settlements and its oldest known civilizations. The quest for statehood lasted 62 years, and in that pivotal time New Mexico learned to govern itself—and set out to prove itself to the world.
First, we had to Americanize, and to give back to the nation that was finally welcoming us in. We heeded the call, and by 1912 this was a bustling, well-developed place with law and order, major mining, timber, and sheep industries, and public schools and universities…with more improvements on the way. Good roads were linking farm communities to cities, and irrigation projects were laying the groundwork for grand agricultural efforts. Thanks to improved communication and vigorous efforts to sell New Mexico’s resources, people started coming to visit. Some even built new lives here.
Our state needed new symbols to define us—like our iconic flag, with its sacred Zia sun symbol. You’ll see designs for our very first flags, along with a one-of-a-kind state seal made from everyday hardware and the piano used to compose O, Fair New Mexico, our first state song.
So, let’s join Felipe Maximiliano Chacón, the New Mexican Bard, and shout: “Long live the state of New Mexico!”

YEBBA
Yebba is a singer and songwriter whose voice has become one of the most revered in contemporary music. Raised in West Memphis, Arkansas, she developed her vocal foundation in church before emerging as a sought-after collaborator in the late 2010s. Her early appearances alongside artists such as Ed Sheeran, PJ Morton, Drake, A$AP Rocky, and Mark Ronson established her as a singular presence and vocalist capable of elevating any genre with emotional depth and technical precision.
Her 2021 debut album, Dawn, cemented her reputation as a fearless storyteller able to transform grief into transcendent song. Now, with her sophomore album Jean (named in honor of her beloved late grandmother) Yebba steps into a new era defined by creative freedom, forgiveness, and self-reclamation. Written over five years across Arkansas, Dallas, and New York, Jeanexpands her sonic palette and finds further creative freedom as she explores themes of love, rage, and healing while remaining rooted in the gospel conviction and emotional honesty that first made her unmistakable.

GNOSS
Gnoss’ signature sound is a rich tapestry of acoustic layers. Outstanding musicianship, deep traditional roots, and contemporary compositional flair combine to create songs and tunes brimming with character.
Triple Scots Trad Music Awards nominees, the band have built an invested following through their forward-thinking take on traditional music and the unique warmth of their live shows. This has been proven through three consecutive sellout appearances at Glasgow’s world-famous Celtic Connections festival.
Their 2019 release, Drawn From Deep Water, was met with widespread praise (“a refreshing blast” – RnR) for its exemplary interplay, nakedly emotional playing, and well-chosen material. The 11-track album brought Gnoss to entranced audiences across France, Italy, and Denmark, as well as throughout the UK.
Their follow-up album, The Light of the Moon, continued to demonstrate Gnoss’ dedication to their craft, placing them firmly at the forefront of contemporary Scottish folk. The album earned a nomination for Album of the Year at the Scots Trad Music Awards and was described by Songlines as “an invigorating new direction for the Gnoss boys.” It took their online fanbase by storm, gaining over one million streams in 2022.
With the release of their third album, Stretching Skyward (2023), Gnoss reignited their collaboration with producer and engineer Scott Wood (Skerryvore), further exploring their acoustic roots while incorporating new electronic elements. Launch performances took place across the UK and Europe, including standout appearances at the Orkney Folk Festival, Cambridge Folk Festival, Towersey Festival, and Denmark’s Tønder Festival.

Una Mås y La Cha Cha
The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.
With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.
An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

The Heavy Heavy
THE HEAVY HEAVY
With the arrival of their debut EP Life and Life Only, The Heavy Heavy immediately filled a longtime void in the musical landscape, delivering a soulful breed of rock & roll untouched by modern artifice.
As audiences across the globe grew enchanted with their era-bending sound, the UK-based band began selling out headline shows in major cities like New York and Chicago, opening for the likes of Black Pumas and Band of Horses, and earning critical comparisons to Jefferson Airplane, The Band, The Mamas & The Papas, and more—all with only a handful of songs to their name, including the AAA radio top five singles “Miles and Miles” and “Go Down River.”
After spending the past two years on the road and in the studio, The Heavy Heavy now draw listeners even deeper into their dreamworld with their long-awaited debut album One Of A Kind.
Written entirely by co-founders Georgie Fuller and William Turner and mostly recorded at Turner’s studio in Brighton, One Of A Kind maintains the self-contained approach of Life and Life Only—a seven-song project acclaimed by outlets like NME (who named them an essential emerging artist for 2023) and The Guardian (who noted that The Heavy Heavy “write and play music with that lick of madness that makes early Fleetwood Mac and peak Stones so thrilling”).
To that end, Turner produced, engineered, and mixed every track and handled most of the LP’s lavish instrumentation (including guitar, bass, piano, organ, Mellotron, and more), with The Heavy Heavy’s live band lending their explosive energy to the album. But in a departure from the EP, One Of A Kind leans away from Laurel Canyon-esque folk-rock and fully embraces their British roots, finding a particularly crucial inspiration in the gritty and groove-heavy hedonism of the Rolling Stones’ Goats Head Soup.
“A lot of our EP was very bright and pretty, so we wanted to smash the door down like we do in the live show,” says Turner. “Because we were creating an entire album, there was so much more space to explore and expand,” Fuller adds. “It’s still undoubtedly that Heavy Heavy sound, but now we have all these other rooms to play around in.”
For One Of A Kind’s lead single, The Heavy Heavy chose a sun-drenched and sing-along-ready number that serves as an auspicious bridge to the band’s new era. The last song written for the album, “Happiness” bends toward the lush psych-pop of Life and Life Only while introducing a new level of visceral intensity. “We felt we needed a song that had that summery, flowery feel of the EP, and somehow at the last minute we were able to pull magic out of thin air,” Fuller recalls. A fast fan favorite at their live shows, “Happiness” channels a bold determination to break free from loneliness and stagnation, ultimately providing an automatic mood lift thanks to The Heavy Heavy’s resplendent melodies and signature multi-part harmonies.
Kicking off with a majestic bang, One Of A Kind opens on the rolling drumbeats and walloping riffs of its title track—a feverishly chanted anthem whose lyrics transform the listener into the protagonist of their own impossibly glamorous movie (e.g., “You’re getting down/You’re keeping on/You look the best/You’re all night howling”). Graced with a breathtaking vocal performance from Fuller (a classically trained singer), “One Of A Kind” quickly set the tone for the album’s larger-than-life vitality. “Something about the primal nature of that song inspired us to keep making songs that feel quite big and powerful,” says Turner. Later, on “Because You’re Mine,” The Heavy Heavy sustain that feel-good spirit and share a carefree love song lit up in slinky grooves and hallucinatory lyrics depicting what Fuller refers to as “the psychedelic daydream of a wandering nomad type—someone who goes wherever the wind takes them.”
As One Of A Kind floats along, The Heavy Heavy endlessly push into previously uncharted sonic terrain, tapping into such unexpected influences as mid-’90s big beat on the bass-driven and gorgeously hazy “Miracle Sun.” “It’s a song with a lot of attitude to it—sort of our way of telling the world, ‘We’re living the way we want to live, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand,’” says Turner. Meanwhile, on “Feel,” the band merges the mesmerizing grooves of Madchester-era Britpop with a bit of idiosyncratic poetry (“I am a freeloader love junkie/A real heavy cannonball and I’m hungry…I stand between the sun, between the stone/I feel it in my fingers, feel it in my bones”). And on “Wild Emotion,” One Of A Kind offers up a country-infused serenade laced with galloping rhythms and twangy guitar tones partly inspired by the work of Dire Straits frontman Mark Knopfler. “That’s probably the most emotional song on the album,” Turner points out. “It’s meant to have a reassuring message, but at its center is the story of a woman who’s gone through a heartbreak and can’t find her way out of feeling hopeless and distraught.”
After journeying through a whirlwind of sounds and textures—the hypnotic Mellotron of “Lemonade,” the frenetic psych-rock organ and skyscraping vocals of “Dirt,” the earthy acoustic guitar and sweetly playful harmonies of “Lovestruck”—One Of A Kind lands at the reverb-soaked splendor of its closing track, “Salina.” Named for a sparsely populated volcanic island off the coast of Sicily (an otherworldly spot Fuller and Turner visited on vacation), the slow-building epic unfolds in so many exquisitely strange sonic details: moody cello lines, thundering percussion, a spellbinding pedal-steel part simultaneously played by two separate guest musicians. “‘Salina’ was one of those moments where we let ourselves get experimental with the production and create a whole ocean of sound,” says Fuller. “We knew we had to put it at the end and let the reverb ring out in those final seconds—almost as if we’re leaving the album hanging in the air.”
Formed in 2019, The Heavy Heavy emerged from a potent alchemy of their eclectic sensibilities. Hailing from the small town of Malvern (a stretch of the English countryside he describes as “a beautiful place full of hippies and longhaired people”), Turner took up guitar in his early teens and later played in a series of psychedelic/surf-rock bands, while Fuller’s extensive background includes performing at Montreux Jazz Festival as a teenager and acting in the London theater. As they moved forward with a mission of “making music that sounds like our favorite records ever” (including everything from Peter Green-era Fleetwood Mac to folk-blues act Delaney & Bonnie to Fleet Foxes), the duo dreamed up a batch of songs in a London flat and self-released an early version of Life and Life Only in late 2020, eventually catching the attention of ATO Records and signing with the U.S.-based label in 2022. Fueled in part by the breakout success of “Miles and Miles” (their ATO debut single), The Heavy Heavy’s five-piece live band soon began playing bigger and bigger venues and taking the stage at leading festivals like Bonnaroo, Boston Calling, and Newport Folk Festival, in addition to performing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” and “CBS Saturday Morning” and scoring major syncs with the likes of Nissan and Netflix’s “Outer Banks.”
Because of the rapturous response to their debut EP, The Heavy Heavy found themselves in an unfamiliar headspace when it came to the creation of One Of A Kind. “With the EP we were making songs as a way to soundtrack our own lives, but now it’s a different beast—it’s no longer theoretical, which gives everything more weight,” says Turner. But in the end, the band discovered an essential touchstone in the connection they’ve forged with their fans over the last two years. “Not too long ago, a woman came up to us at a show and told us she was getting a tattoo of one of our lyrics to remind herself to keep pushing on and keep chasing her dreams,” Fuller says. “Moments like that always remind us that as long as we keep making what feels good, chances are it’s going to make other people feel good too. I hope this album feels like a great big party to everyone, and I hope it inspires them to live their lives however they want.”
LOU HAZEL
Lou Hazel grew up along the Allegheny River, where New York meets Pennsylvania and Northern Appalachia slips into quiet obscurity. In a landscape of cold towns, blue-collar fatigue, and early brushes with hardship, music wasn’t inherited—it was uncovered. There were no venues, no mentors, no real sense of a scene… only what you could scrape together with curiosity and a cassette deck.
That absence—of direction, of mentors, of art—shaped Lou’s songs as much as any influence. His music echoes the loneliness of those forgotten towns and the strange resilience it takes to create something where nothing was planted. Blending folk, indie, and an eye for the overlooked, Lou writes like someone who’s learned to pay attention. His songs are spare, vivid, and weathered with warmth.
After years of solo touring and home recording, Lou found grounding in Durham, North Carolina, where a vibrant music scene and chosen community have helped shape his recent work. His latest record, Riot of the Red, captures the urge to get away from all of it—the news, the noise, the weight of a world gone sideways —and find stillness in the simplest things: a long drive, a bare sky, a familiar chord. Lou Hazel makes music for those who had to teach themselves how to listen.

Barns Courtney
Barns Courtney has lived through more industry upheaval than most artists survive — A&Rs disappearing, catalogs sold off, years stuck in dead-end contracts — yet he’s still standing. Signed at 19, reduced to sofa-surfing and odd jobs, he clawed his way back when Bradley Cooper hand-picked his voice for Burnt, just as his DIY single Glitter & Gold — recorded in an abandoned care home with filing cabinets for drums — quietly went platinum in the US. Since then, multiple Top 10 alt-radio hits and a reputation for chaotic, unmissable live shows have made him one of rock’s best-kept secrets. Now, a decade on and finally free on indie label Avenue A, Courtney isn’t making a comeback — he’s proving the music always connects, even when the machine fails.

DIIV
Four years into making their fourth album, Frog in Boiling Water, the four members of DIIV needed to talk—not later, but now.
The extended process had been uncertain and sometimes grueling, not only pushing them to up their musicianship but also taxing most every resource and bond they had ever cultivated. During the prior decade, DIIV had helped revitalize dream-pop and shoegaze alike, culminating in 2019’s unapologetic genre showcase, Deceiver. But with it, DIIV were now out of contract, proverbial free agents who didn’t owe anything to anyone but themselves—that is, to make a record that challenged them, that pushed their sound beyond any previous parameters.
But after all that collective toil, their relationships with one another were fraying badly inside that singular alchemical state of being a band, where dynamics of family, friendship, and finances become entangled in a Gordian knot. There were suspicions and resentments, bruised egos and anxious questions, all fingerprints left by a quest that demanded DIIV grow both together and apart. So on June 1, 2023, just before they began to mix four years of effort, DIIV—Andrew Bailey, Colin Caulfield, Ben Newman, and Zachary Cole Smith—gathered in Echo Park Lake, the scene of so many halcyon hangs in their early days, under vaguely gray skies to air accumulated grievances. They dropped the shields of professionalism that had let them work amid the rancor and allowed themselves to get mad and bummed, real and vulnerable. Really, it could have broken DIIV before Frog in Boiling Water was finished.
This fireside, however tense, worked: DIIV eventually finished Frog in Boiling Water. It is a gorgeous and haunted record, as DIIV gaze into our collective oblivion and try to articulate a trace of hope inside that enveloping gloom. Balancing rhythms first built from breakbeats and inspired by post-industrial power with guitars and vocals that often billow like diaphanous drapery, Frog in Boiling Water is mighty but breezy, greyscale but opalescent. “Reflected,” for instance, surges through softness, reckoning with the lies we tell ourselves to survive while wondering if they still serve us. “Brown Paper Bag” funnels dejection and angst into an exquisite intersection of dream-pop and post-rock, a wispy tune stretching from a steely foundation. Though DIIV helped to foster a shoegaze scene that has since swept up many imaginations, they rose above it despite nearly falling apart. On these 10 songs, they brood beautifully inside music that frets about the present and future—but at least acknowledges it can still exist.
The instant DIIV finished Deceiver in early 2019, they were ready to run it back, to make another live-in-the-room record as soon as possible. The sessions had been brief and efficient, the four members in newfound lockstep. Could they amplify that feeling? They never got the chance. With the world upended, every member began working on their own pieces, individual tastes accreting into a mountain of material so large they began to grade each item, A to F. They daydreamed about what the pieces might eventually make, sometimes discarding the notion of a “rock record” for one made with computers and samples or sometimes pondering something as heavy and blissful as Justin K. Broadrick’s Jesu. There were samples, tape machines, breakbeats: Everything seemed possible, open, new.
DIIV had once been hamstrung by obdurate headlines, gossip about Smith’s personal problems often overshadowing the work of the cohesive, smart rock quartet they had gradually become. What’s more, Smith co-founded United Musicians and Allied Workers, an organization devoted to wresting power away from an entertainment oligarchy. Principles from both scenarios—no hierarchy and equal participation, no overriding frontman but instead four people interacting in full—had become central to DIIV’s approach, prompting them to move as a democracy more than ever before.
This equitable approach created inevitable strain, especially when DIIV finally rendezvoused in early 2022 to figure out how all their enthusiasms could cohere. They decamped to a rented home in the Mojave, guitars, recording gear, and a clutch of books about humanity’s failures, psychological warfare, and Zen poetry in tow. They worked 13 hours a day for 10 days straight, so taxed as they tried to circle a sound that Caulfield earned himself a case of nicotine poisoning. They hoped to finish the bulk of the record there, to capture a room sound that felt ineffable. But stress mounted as they struggled to solidify what their fourth album could be, to funnel their individual passions into a collective whole that also said something about our precarious moment. They headed home without a record.
Adding another strong perspective did not alleviate this tension, but it did help break the stalemate. For DIIV, working with producer Chris Coady—whose records with the likes of Beach House and Blonde Redhead were mutual lodestars—was fittingly aspirational. They felt they would need to rise to his level. In September 2022, as they began religiously tracking six days a week at his home studio for the next nine months, he became the de facto fifth member, joining existential debates about DIIV’s direction and how to get there. He switched sides as he saw fit.
Even when the conflicts felt insurmountable, with five personalities vying for a say in DIIV’s future, they all showed up and tried, anyway. They all worked to get better, too. Sometimes that meant Newman was up at 7 a.m. to practice breakbeats created by some of the best drummers in the world. Sometimes that meant Coady setting up a tape machine in his backyard, Bailey filling it with warped tape samples that DIIV could then weave into the worlds they were trying to build. And Smith became a father in November 2022, prompting a three-month pause as he wrestled with a central, difficult question at home: How could he lyrically conjure a dystopia with a newborn in the house, or pair the new hope he had with an honest assessment of the world he knew? It all felt like that midair moment during a complicated skateboard trick, wondering if you have what it takes to land the thing.
Again, they did: These songs mine a new lyrical and musical depth, those two halves mirroring one another inside a reflective and immersive whole. Opener “In Amber,” for instance, offers an internal existential debate about slipping out of this world, of shaking off its turmoil. The downtrodden guitars of Smith and Bailey perfectly paint this feeling for the first half, but they lift together toward the end, an act of resistance against abject despair.
Or there’s the way that Newman and Caulfield conjure a very warped and muted funk inside the rhythm section of “Soul-Net,” a prime canvas for Smith’s character study about those who have found meaning for a vacuous life through online conspiracy theories. Here is our suffering, sold and weaponized against us inside endless rabbit holes. They ride this haze into panoramic finale “Fender on the Freeway,” a chiming drift that steadily tightens and coils like a ripple of lean muscle. “You can’t unring a bell,” Smith sings, voice soft-lidded but suppliant. “We live in heaven, and we live in hell.” That is the contrast that every song on Frog in Boiling Water frames so well—the darkness of these days, an appreciation of existence itself.
On that afternoon in Echo Park, the future seemed very much in doubt for DIIV. They were exhausted, broke, and bruised, having spent four years in a four-way trust fall without knowing how it might end. Voicing concerns doesn’t always fix them, of course, but could they understand one another enough to carry on, together? They did, finally starting the process of finishing Frog in Boiling Water in the days that followed. Still, everyone in DIIV will tell you now that those conflicts—the natural result of four people whose lives have become so intertwined, trying to make art that speaks to humanity’s current place on a complicated precipice—still exist. To some extent, they remain an engine inside of their art.
That is, in many ways, the essence of Frog in Boiling Water, a record about doing your best to carry on in spite of oft-grim prospects. While making Frog in Boiling Water, DIIV taxed their bonds and brotherhood, pushing themselves to the brink as a band, as buds. The result, however, is a mesmeric testament to enduring, to envisioning anything else on the other side while you remain here, in the slowly heating water of right now.
DRAAG
Growing up in the northeast San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles, there was nothing for kids to do. Adrian Acosta (songwriter, vocalist, guitarist), ran the DIY punk scene movement there as a preteen. Backyard shows happened every weekend by word of mouth and flyers at school, with some shows ending in drive by shootings from rival gangs. As a kid, Adrian purposely used warped tapes and dissonant sounds without understanding what he loved about it, but upon discovering artists such as My Bloody Valentine, Boards of Canada, and Throbbing Gristle, he realized he wasn’t the only one. Adrian started Draag in 2013 and met Ray Montes (guitar), Nick Kelley (bass), Nathan Najera (drums), through many years in the DIY LA music community. He met Jessica Huang (synth, vocals) through an ad on Craigslist. She had a different musical upbringing, classically trained in piano and played the alto sax in marching band, and was on tumblr instead of at backyard shows.
Five-piece Draag gained a reputation for their sonically immersive live shows, mostly by word of mouth. Draag interweaves shoegaze, electro-industrial, and punk elements into a bittersweet ballad. Over the years they’ve aligned themselves with bands who subvert the shoegaze genre into something far more interesting. Each release (EPs “Nontoxic Process,” “Clara Luz,” “Actually, the quiet is nice” and LP “Dark Fire Heresy”) is self-produced and immersed in stacked layers of guitar, nintendo era synths, and warped and reversed tape samples. Both the sonic and visual worlds reach back into the past in order for it to not be erased. They archive what it’s like growing up with immigrant parents in the valley, and personal journeys with sobriety and religious trauma. As people of color, you sometimes get messaging that your story isn’t worth telling. Draag endlessly documents their histories, and the personal analog media that would otherwise be forgotten. Their upcoming EP “Miracle Drug” materializes family history; the cover features Adrian’s dad, an established norteño musician, on a public access television show in the late 90s, which was uncovered in a pile of home videos in the TV cabinet at Adrian’s parent’s house. This EP is a precursor to a larger body of work.

Set in 2004, At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen alternates between the wake of deceased Drag Queen Courtney Berringers and scenes of her life and romantic journey with aspiring drag performer Vickie Versailles. This play utilizes traditional storytelling, drama, and drag performances to explore themes of Black identity, southern queerness, HIV/AIDS, poverty, illness, and the construction of self. It’s a vibrant, often hilarious, but ultimately moving celebration of life, community, and the power of drag as an art form and a means of survival.

DELBERT ANDERSON – “Sounds in Place”
Saturday, May 8th, 2026
7:30 pm - 9:00 pm
Engine70 Studios (formerly The Kitchen Sink) | Santa Fe, NM
“Sounds in Place” is a master class of storytelling and a truly soulful and enriching experience. Through musical melodies, archival materials, and autobiographical features, Delbert Anderson intertwines the personal narratives of Native band leaders and jazz artists with the history of the Navajo people, demonstrating how, generation after generation, art has been born out of relationships with the land and community. The entire experience is a crescendo, building to a culminating performance that blew me away but also made me feel the history and heritage beneath my feet.” – Rose Eason, gallupARTS Executive Director
Sounds in Place consists of trumpeter Delbert Anderson and keyboard player Robert Muller (keys). Anderson, a Diné jazz trumpet artist, composer, and educator, stands at the forefront of a vibrant Native American jazz scene. His work, deeply rooted in his Diné heritage, seamlessly integrates Navajo “spinning songs” of love, healing, and courtship with jazz, funk and hip-hop. His compositions are inspired by Navajo Nation landscapes, historical events, and the desire to preserve and educate about Diné history. Anderson’s notable projects include “The Long Walk: 1,674 Days,” a poignant composition reflecting on a critical period in Navajo history, and “Manitou,” which fuses ancient Native American melodies with jazz and funk.
The Delbert Anderson Trio (DAT) showcases DAT jazz standards and original tunes, capturing the essence of his musical beginnings. His commitment to community and education is evident through his “Build A Band” educational program, which teaches jazz improvisation to young students through a Diné and family curriculum, wellness programs, and community outreach initiatives aimed at evoking change for the well-being of all humans. Anderson’s achievements have garnered awards from Chamber Music America, the Cultural Capital Fellowship from the First Peoples Fund, and the Jazz Road Program at South Arts. His contributions to music and culture have been featured in prominent outlets like The New York Times, JazzTimes, Grammy.com, and NPR.

Jensen McRae
JENSEN MCRAE
God Has A Hitman Tour
May 9, 2026 • 8:30 pm
DOORS 8:00pm • All Ages
Jensen McRae could’ve been down for the count. “The most profound choices of my life,” she says, “have often felt like things I did before I was ready to do, and I had to grow into them.” McRae’s songs give shape to these leaps, cliff jumps, and trust falls, and on her new album, I Don’t Know How But They Found Me!, she goes further than ever, evolving from a promising young artist into a fully realized songwriter and star.
“It’s about realizing what you can’t outrun, and what follows when you have withstood what you thought might crush you,” she explains. “There are things that can happen to us—unthinkable, untenable things—that threaten our safety in our own bodies. They happen, and you feel like the only option is escape. In truth, the only way out is in—back into the place you have always lived.” A home—Jensen front and center, possibly leaving, possibly arriving—adorns the album artwork. “You can leave the city, you can leave the lover,” McRae continues, “but you can never leave yourself.”
From the beginning, fans have connected to McRae’s sharp, evocative, clear-eyed songwriting. An avid journaler, she has been documenting her life since she was 18. Her first album, Are You Happy Now?, was a mission statement from an artist who grew up an automatic outsider: a Black Jewish girl from Los Angeles determined to make folk music despite the world’s attempts to box her into more stereotypical genres. Drawing inspiration from songwriting heroes like Alicia Keys, Carole King, James Taylor, and Stevie Wonder, McRae built a sonic world entirely her own. As her audience grew, the album became “the record of my coming-of-age—but a quiet one, mostly taking place inside my own head.”
I Don’t Know How But They Found Me! unfolds against the backdrop of romantic turbulence and McRae’s rapidly expanding fanbase. “I had never been in love before—not really,” she says. “Then I had two life-altering relationships back to back in my early twenties. This album explores how love and intimacy can knock the wind out of you, take your legs out from under you.”
McRae has also experienced multiple viral moments. In 2023, she shared a verse and chorus online—barely more than a demo—and it took off. Covers, duets, and an avalanche of new fans followed, including Justin Bieber, Stormzy, and Dan Nigro. That song became “Massachusetts,” her first release with Dead Oceans.
The album further affirms McRae’s defiance of expectations as she deepens her singer-songwriter credentials and claims space for young Black women in the genre. “I still feel like I’m pushing a boulder up a hill,” she says. “Even with success and hard work, I hit walls that aren’t there for other people. That’s part of why I make music—to be seen and to help others feel seen. But I remain somewhat misunderstood.”
McRae’s voice captures both the heartbreak of being left and of doing the leaving. Wispy and textured at times, clear and bright at others, her singing is as multidimensional as her lyrics. When the country-leaning single “Savannah” reaches its crescendo, piano and guitar stack beneath her as she delivers scathing lines with grit and conviction: “You swore you’d raise our kids to end up just like you / well you’re a false prophet / and that’s a goddamn promise.”
“Let Me Be Wrong” is a buoyant ode to rejecting perfectionism, building from a simple acoustic melody into a full-bodied release, capped by a raw, crowd-ready line—“fuck those girls got everything.” The softer but devastating “Daffodils” explores intimacy and pain, with the line “he cleaned my clock / he bought me daffodils,” which McRae calls one of the album’s most emotionally brutal moments. Along with “Tuesday,” it addresses the album’s heaviest themes, including substance abuse and assault, and how those dangers creep in slowly within intimate relationships. “Mother Wound” examines how emotional unavailability reshapes expectations of love.
Despite its weight, the album finds moments of light. Opener “The Rearranger” shimmers with nostalgia. “Novelty” is a situationship anthem celebrating the one that got away. “Praying For Your Downfall” blends snark and charm, marking McRae’s shift into self-assuredness and perspective.
McRae recorded the album in North Carolina with producer Brad Cook (Waxahatchee, Bon Iver), alongside Nathan Stocker of Hippocampus on guitar, Matthew McCaughan of Bon Iver on drums, and her brother Holden McRae on keys. “It felt like summer camp,” she says. “None of us wanted to leave. It was ten joyful days of pure creative expression.”
The album’s title comes from Back to the Future, referencing a character who survives a hail of bullets. “I connected with the idea that I could’ve collapsed beneath the weight of what happened to me—but I didn’t,” McRae says. “I didn’t even know it, but I was bulletproof the whole time.”

Un Mas y La Cha Cha
The members and music of Una Mas y La ChaCha reflect the diversity of Santa Fe – the Indigenous, the descendants of Spanish and Mexican families and multigenerational Anglos residents; and cumbias, boleros, flamenco, 70’s Chicano funk and eclectic covers with the band’s unique spin that they call Northern New Mexico soul music.
With a rock-solid rhythm section featuring bassist Brian Shannon, percussionists Adrian Trate and David Gomez supporting the soaring leads of guitarist and band founder D’Santi Nava, and the soulful vocals of Trate and la Cha Cha Krystle Lucero, Una Mas can deliver an intimate performance in a cozy venue that draws in the listener to rocking out before a crowd of thousands at large public events.
An Una Mas show is a night of passion and heritage that has crowds clearing out a dance space for a set of songs by Selena, listening respectfully to a hymn for Quetzalcoatl, or gazing in rapt attention as Nava, “el Brujo,” furiously works the fretboard. To hear Una Mas y la Cha Cha is to be present in a moment that weaves threads of time, genres, and peoples.

Eric Johnson brings the Texaphonic Tour 2026 to New Mexico.
One of the most outstanding instrumentalists in rock for over 40 years, the Texas guitar legend was already a master before his first album—and his live shows remain pure magic.
Jake Xerxes Fusell
Reared in Georgia and now settled in North Carolina, Jake Xerxes Fussell has established himself as a devoted listener and contemplative interpreter of a vast array of so-called folk songs, lovingly sourced from a personal store of favorites. He has released five studio albums to-date, beginning with his self-titled debut album, released by Paradise of Bachelors in 2015.
His most recent studio album When I’m Called was produced by James Elkington and features the playing of Ben Whiteley (The Weather Station), Joe Westerlund (Bon Iver, Califone), and others. Blake Mills contributes guitars on several tracks. Joan Shelley and Robin Holcomb provide backing vocals. In their review of the record, Pitchfork wrote: “No other American singer is repurposing our old folk scripts with so much authority or ingenuity.”
More recently, Fussell and Elkington collaborated on the music for Rebuilding - a feature film directed by Max Walker-Silverman and starring Josh O’Connor. A soundtrack of the same name was released on Fat Possum Records in November 2025.
“Critics love to call things unclassifiable, which can sometimes feel like a subtle admission of defeat. But Jake Xerxes Fussell’s music, which draws heavily from nineteenth- and twentieth-century vernacular folk songs and archival field recordings, is idiomatic, and entirely his own…he is a folksinger in the truest sense, collecting ideas and melodies and lyrics from distant and disparate traditions, looking for the things that unite us in our humanity.” - The New Yorker
“(Fussell) is one of the great magpies of American song, collecting forgotten, tarnished gems with a folklorist’s zeal…” – The Guardia
“…maybe the leading interpreter of American folk music right now.” – Ann Powers, NPR

TOPS
TOPS — musicians David Carriere, Jane Penny, Marta Cikojevic, and Riley Fleck — write timeless music that reliably threads immediacy and depth. Bury the Key, their first full-length since 2020 and with new label home Ghostly International, is a captivating reintroduction for the Montréal band: ever refined, undoubtedly masters of their melodic craft yet unafraid of evolving and testing themselves against different, at times darker tones. The album faces feelings once locked away, engaging the give-and-take between happiness, hedonism, and self-destruction. While often inhabited by fictional figures, their glowing, grooving, self-produced songs draw from personal observations: intimacy (both inside and outside the band), toxic behavior, drug use, and apocalyptic dread. When recording started, they noticed a shift and leaned in, jokingly dubbed "evil TOPS," says Penny. "We're always kind of seen as a soft band or like naive or friendly in a Canadian way, but we made it a challenge to really channel the world around us." Through the lens of a looming epoch and the clarity that comes with age, TOPS dip into a more sinister disco realm with Bury the Key, giving their soft-focus sophisti-pop a sharpened edge.

Traditional Tinwork for Beginners Workshop
Step into the rich tradition of New Mexican tinwork with 5th-generation tinsmith Jason Younis y Delgado in this welcoming, hands-on workshop designed especially for beginners.
The class begins with a short introduction to the history and cultural roots of traditional tinwork, followed by a demonstration of the tools and techniques used by tinsmiths for generations. Jason will then guide you step-by-step as you learn to cut, punch, and shape tin using authentic methods.
During this 4-hour class, each participant will create two handcrafted pieces: a decorative ornament and a small tinwork mirror. Along the way you’ll gain an appreciation for this historic craft while discovering how satisfying it is to shape metal by hand.
No experience is necessary. All tools, materials, and instruction are provided, and you’ll leave with your finished pieces and the confidence to continue exploring the craft.
The class is limited to 14 students to allow for individual guidance.
Jason Younis y Delgado is an award-winning juried member of the Spanish Colonial Arts Society. He also teaches for Albuquerque’s Senior Arts Program and hosts the public access television show “New Mexican Tinsmith.”
For those who wish to continue working with tin after the workshop, select specialty tools and supplies will be available for purchase.

ÁSGEIR
As one of Iceland’s most successful exports, singer-songwriter Ásgeir has always pushed the boundaries of his thoughtful brand of folk-pop. His debut album, ‘Dýrð í dauðaþögn’, became the best-selling debut in Icelandic history, leading to the English-language version ‘In The Silence’ in 2014. He continued to refine his sound with ‘Afterglow’ in 2017, ‘Bury The Moon’ in 2020, and ‘Time On My Hands’ in 2022’, earning praise from press and radio worldwide, including the likes of The Independent, MOJO, NME, The Line Of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, BBC 6 Music and Radio X.
In recent years, Ásgeir has embraced solo performances, playing nearly 70 intimate shows across Europe, the Nordics, and Iceland, including a UK tour with Icelandic singer GDRN. He also performed with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra and recorded a live session for Arte TV in Berlin. His passion for live music has taken him to unique venues, including small churches, deepening his connection with audiences. He wrote a song for a Kafkaesque play that was hosted at The Reykjavik City Theatre called Sýslumaður Dauðans.
Currently, Ásgeir is preparing for his next album, focusing on songwriting with a fresh approach; prioritizing melody and personal storytelling, exploring themes of relationships, aging, hope, and nostalgia. His influences range from Leonard Cohen and Daniel Lanois to contemporary artists like Adrianne Lenker and Dina Ögon.
The album’s production was a hands-on process, with Ásgeir playing most of the instruments and collaborating with a select group of musicians, including Nashville cellist Nat Smith. Recorded both solo and with a band, the songs capture an organic, heartfelt energy. With this new chapter, Ásgeir continues to evolve, offering music that is as introspective and accomplished as ever as well as deeply resonant.

SEAROWS
Searows, the project of Pacific Northwest singer-songwriter and guitarist Alec Duckart, releases his new album, Death in the Business of Whaling, on January 23, 2026 via Last Recordings On Earth.Though Death in the Business of Whaling arrives as Searows’ second album, it’s the product of many firsts, including his first time recording outside the creative cocoon of his bedroom. His 2022 debut Guard Dog was written, recorded and self-produced in Duckart’s Portland home and independently released with little expectation as to how it would be received. The music soon found a passionate audience that were already sharing snippets of Duckart’s music via communities on TikTok, as well as co-signs from artists like Ethel Cain, Gracie Abrams and Robin Pecknold.
When the time came to commit the collection of ideas for his new record to tape, he set up shop in a converted horse barn outside of Seattle, keen to harness a greater sense of scale and space in the creation of the music, working this time with co-producer Trevor Spencer (Father John Misty, Beach House, Mary Lattimore) to expand his creative vision.
“I had really wonderfully connective and intimate experiences sharing my first couple of projects with live audiences. Those projects were very personal and vulnerable and revealing my life and specific experiences to an audience began to feel a bit dissonant and exposing,” he explains. “One of my favourite things about music is its ability to connect people. It has done so for me time and time again and it has been so special to see my own writing do that for people too. I just began to learn that for myself, there were specifics that I wanted to keep for myself.”
As a result, Duckart became interested in writing songs that read more like folklore. The songs became a vessel for digging deep and exploring his life and point of view, but in a way that spoke outwardly more symbolically than literally. “Something your subconscious understands before your conscious mind does. Visceral rather than literal. And that relationship to our deeper selves, our subconscious, our souls, is a major theme of the album for me. Most of these songs are about the different ways we all bump up against the human condition. Our spirit, the shadow self, our egos, trauma, love and fate. How we cope with our experiences and how we connect and take care of one another in an exceedingly dark and violent world. This record is still deeply personal to me. But it is an attempt to reveal my cards in a more coded, symbolic manner.”
MORI
New York-based and Buenos Aires-born, folk singer-songwriter Mori is known for lyric-driven storytelling and unflinching emotional honesty. Between language learning and an early-found love for music, writing bridged her cultural worlds and gave voice to apologies and explanations left unsaid. Inspired by the likes of Searows, Lizzy McAlpine, and Olivia Dean, she crafts intentional, lyrically-meaty music, which still manages to be easy on the ears via feeling-first production.

Herb Alpert
Creator and innovator, musician and producer, artist, and philanthropist, Herb Alpert is a man with a profound passion.
Born in Los Angeles, the future trumpeter came of age in a house filled with music. At the age of eight, he was drawn to the trumpet in a music appreciation class in his elementary school.
“I was very fortunate that I had that exposure to music and was encouraged to stick with it. Years ago, when the arts programs were cut out of our public schools, so many kids stopped having that kind of opportunity.”
A legendary trumpet player, Alpert’s extraordinary musicianship has earned him five #1 hits, nine GRAMMY® Awards, the latest from his 2014 album, “Steppin’ Out,” fifteen Gold albums, fourteen Platinum albums and has sold over 72 million records. Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass propelled his sound into the pop music limelight, at one point outselling the Beatles two to one. In 1966, they achieved the since-unmatched feat of simultaneously having four albums in the Top 10– and five in the Top 20. Herb Alpert also has the distinction of being the only artist who has had a #1 instrumental and vocal single.2025 MARKED THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ICONIC ALBUM, “WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS” AS WELL AS 39 STRAIGHT SOLD OUT CONCERTS!
HERB AND HIS BRAND NEW TIJUANA BRASS WILL BE PERFORMING MANY OF THOSE GREAT SONGS ON, “WHIPPED CREAM & OTHER DELIGHTS” IN ADDITION TO MANY OTHER WONDERFUL HIT SONGS THAT WE ALL KNOW AND LOVE: “THE LONELY BULL”, “SPANISH FLEA”, “A TASTE OF HONEY”, “MEXICAN SHUFFLE”, “TIJUANA TAXI”, “THIS GUY’S IN LOVE WITH YOU”, “WHAT NOW MY LOVE”, “ZORBA THE GREEK”, “LADYFINGERS”, “RISE”, “ROUTE 101” AND MANY OTHER DELIGHTS!

Synopsis
Act I
Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, a Lieutenant in the United States Navy, is inspecting his new house, built on a hillside overlooking Nagasaki harbor. The marriage broker Goro has arranged for the house and for Pinkerton’s marriage to the geisha Cio-Cio-San, who is also known as Madama Butterfly. Sharpless, the American consul, arrives for the ceremony and warns Pinkerton that Butterfly is taking the marriage very seriously; Pinkerton himself considers it something of a lark, although he is enchanted with Butterfly. She arrives with her friends and tells Pinkerton that she has renounced her religion for his sake. When Butterfly’s relatives arrive, ‘the wedding ceremony begins, but it is interrupted by her uncle, the Bonze, who curses her for having abandoned her religion. The family members deport, leaving Butterfly alone with Pinkerton. As night descends, they sing of their love and slowly enter their new house.
Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton, teniente de la Marina de los Estados Unidos, inspecciona su nueva casa, construida en una colina con vistas al puerto de Nagasaki. El casamentero Goro ha arreglado tanto la casa como el matrimonio de Pinkerton con la geisha Cio-Cio-San, también conocida como Madama Butterfly. El cónsul estadounidense Sharpless llega para la ceremonia y advierte a Pinkerton de que Butterfly es una mujer que se toma el matrimonio muy en serio; Pinkerton, en cambio, lo considera una especie de diversión, aunque está encantado con Butterfly. Ella llega con sus amigas y le comunica que ha renunciado a su religión por él. Cuando llegan los familiares de Butterfly comienza la ceremonia nupcial, que se ve interrumpida por su tío el Bonzo, quien la maldice por haber abandonado su fe. Los familiares se marchan dejando a Butterfly sola con Pinkerton. Al caer la noche, éstos cantan a su amor y entran lentamente en su nueva casa.
Act II
Scene 1. Three years have passed. Pinkerton deported long ago and Suzuki, Butterfly’s maid, implores Butterfly to forget her American husband, but she refuses, having faith in Pinkerton’s promise to return. Sharpless and Goro try to persuade Butterfly to marry the wealthy Prince Yamadori, without success. Sharpless starts to read a letter from Pinkerton, which suggests that he may never return, but Butterfly rejects the implication and shows Sharpless her son, Trouble, who was fathered by Pinkerton before his departure. The harbor cannon fires to announce the arrival of a foreign vessel, which Butterfly recognizes as the Abraham Lincoln, Pinkerton’s ship. She and Suzuki strew flowers throughout the house; she dons her wedding gown and, with Suzuki and Trouble, awaits the arrival of her husband as the sun begins to set.
Scene 2. Butterfly has maintained her vigil the entire night. As dawn breaks, Suzuki persuades her to rest. Sharpless and Pinkerton arrive, and Suzuki soon discovers that the woman with them is Pinkerton’s wife, Kate. Sharpless tells Suzuki that they want to ensure a good American upbringing for Trouble and he then reproaches Pinkerton for his heartlessness. Pinkerton bids on anguished farewell to the site of his post happiness and leaves, unable to face his Japanese bride. Butterfly enters and, after the situation is explained to her, agrees to give up the child if Pinkerton will return in 30 minutes. She bids a last farewell to her son, then takes up the dagger with which her father committed hara-kiri. She stabs herself, just as Pinkerton is arriving for his son.
Escena primera. Han pasado tres años. Pinkerton se marchó hace mucho tiempo y Suzuki, la criada de Butterfly, le ruega a ésta que olvide a su marido americano. Ella se niega, confiando en la promesa de regresar que Pinkerton le hizo. Sharpless y Goro intentan persuadirla, sin éxito, para que se case con el rico príncipe Yamadori. Sharpless empieza a leer una carta de Pinkerton en la que sugiere que quizá nunca vuelva pero Butterfly rechaza esa idea y le muestra a Sharpless a su hijo Trouble, engendrado por Pinkerton antes de su partida. Un cañonazo en el puerto anuncia la llegada de un barco extranjero que Butterfly reconoce como el Abraham Lincoln, el navío de Pinkerton. Ella y Suzuki cubren la casa de flores; Butterfly se pone su vestido de novia y, junto a Suzuki y Trouble, espera la llegada de su marido mientras el sol se pone.
Escena segunda. Butterfly ha pasado toda la noche en vela. Al amanecer, Suzuki la convence de que descanse. Llegan Sharpless y Pinkerton, y Suzuki descubre que la mujer que los acompaña es Kate, la esposa de Pinkerton. Sharpless explica a Suzuki que desean asegurar a Trouble una buena educación americana y reprende a Pinkerton por su falta de corazón. Pinkerton se despide con angustia del lugar que tanta felicidad le dio y se marcha incapaz de enfrentarse a su esposa japonesa. Entra Butterfly y, tras explicársele la situación, acepta entregar al niño si Pinkerton regresa en treinta minutos. Se despide por última vez de su hijo y toma la daga con la que su propio padre se hizo el hara-kiri. Se apuñala justo cuando Pinkerton regresa por su hijo.

Synopsis
Act I
Act II
The Three Ladies kill a huge serpent that was chasing Tamino, then go to inform the Queen of the Night of his arrival. Papageno introduces himself, boasting to Tamino that he was the one who slew the beast. The Ladies return to give Tamino a portrait of Pamina, claiming she has been enslaved by Sarastro, and they temporarily padlock Papageno’s mouth for lying. Tamino is charmed by the image of Pamina. The Queen appears, lamenting the loss of her daughter, and charges Tamino and Papageno with Pamina’s rescue. The Ladies give Tamino a magic flute and Papageno magic bells to ensure their safety. Monostatos tries to capture Pamina but is frightened away by Papageno, who tells Pamina that Tamino loves her and intends to save her. Tamino arrives at a temple and is told that it is the Queen, not Sarastro, who is evil. He plays his flute, hoping to make Pamina appear. She and Papageno are nearby and, thanks to Papageno’s magic bells, are able once again to escape from Monostatos. Sarastro promises Pamina eventual freedom. She sees Tamino and they fall in love.
Las Tres Damas matan a una enorme serpiente que perseguía a Tamino y van a informar a la Reina de la Noche de la llegada de éste. Papageno se presenta y presume ante Tamino de haber sido él quien dio muerte al monstruo. Las Damas regresan para entregar a Tamino un retrato de Pamina y para comunicarle que ha sido esclavizada por Sarastro, y castigan temporalmente a Papageno cerrándole la boca con un candado por mentir. Tamino se queda prendado de la imagen de Pamina. Aparece la Reina, que lamenta la pérdida de su hija y encarga a Tamino y Papageno que la rescaten. Las Damas entregan a Tamino una flauta mágica y a Papageno unas campanillas mágicas para protegerlos. Monostatos intenta capturar a Pamina pero Papageno lo ahuyenta; éste le dice a Pamina que Tamino la ama y que pretende salvarla. Tamino llega a un templo, donde le dicen que la malvada es en realidad la Reina, no Sarastro, y toca su flauta con la esperanza de hacer aparecer a Pamina. Papageno y Pamina están ya cerca y gracias a las campanillas mágicas de Papageno logran escapar una vez más de Monostatos. Sarastro promete a Pamina que, con el tiempo, recuperará su libertad. Ella ve a Tamino y ambos se enamoran.
ACT II
Tamino and Papageno begin the first of three initiation trials to join Sarastro’s temple of brotherhood. Sworn to silence, Tamino resists the temptations of the Three Ladies, but Papageno quickly succumbs. Monostatos again approaches the sleeping Pamina but is warded off by the Queen of the Night, who gives her daughter a dagger with which to murder Sarastro. Monostatos renews his quest when the Queen vanishes, but Pamina is rescued by Sarastro, who consoles her. Papageno catches a glimpse of Papagena, but is warned that he must succeed in the trials if he is to have her for a wife. Pamina is despondent over Tamino’s silence, but is saved from suicide by the Three Boys. She is reunited with Tamino and they undergo the trials by water and fire, emerging triumphant thanks to the magic flute. Papageno also is saved from attempted suicide by the Boys, who remind him to use his magic bells to summon Papagena. The pair plans for a fertile future. The Queen of the Night, her Three Ladies, and Monostatos attack Sarastro’s brotherhood, but are defeated and the victors celebrate the triumph of enlightenment over the powers of darkness.
Tamino y Papageno comienzan la primera de tres pruebas de iniciación para ingresar en el templo de la hermandad de Sarastro. Tras haber jurado silencio, Tamino resiste las tentaciones de las Tres Damas pero Papageno sucumbe rápidamente. Monostatos vuelve a acercarse a Pamina, que está dormida, pero la Reina de la Noche lo ahuyenta y entrega a su hija el puñal con el que debe asesinar a Sarastro. Cuando la Reina desaparece, Monostatos reanuda su intento pero Sarastro rescata a Pamina y la consuela. Papageno vislumbra a Papagena pero le advierten que solo podrá tenerla como esposa si supera las pruebas. Pamina, desesperada por el silencio de Tamino, intenta suicidarse pero los Tres Muchachos la salvan. Se reúne con Tamino y ambos afrontan las pruebas del agua y del fuego, saliendo victoriosos gracias a la flauta mágica que le dieron las Tres Damas. Papageno también es salvado de un intento de suicidio por los Muchachos, que le recuerdan usar sus campanillas para llamar a Papagena. La pareja planea un futuro prometedor. La Reina de la Noche, sus Tres Damas y Monostatos deciden atacar la hermandad de Sarastro pero son derrotados. Los vencedores celebran el triunfo de la luz sobre las fuerzas de la oscuridad.

Cabaret
Cabaret is a musical set in the final days of the Weimar Republic in 1930s Berlin, focusing on the decadent nightlife of the Kit Kat Klub as the Nazi Party rises to power. An American writer, Cliff Bradshaw, and British singer Sally Bowles fall in love amid this growing political turmoil, while Fräulein Schneider and Herr Schultz navigate their own romance and increasing threats to their Jewish heritage.
The story serves as a cautionary tale about rising fascism, the dangers of political apathy, and how people choose to ignore the looming threat of a war.

Synopsis
Act I
Autumn. The Larin estate in the Russian countryside. Madame Larina makes preserves and listens to her daughters Tatyana and Olga. As the girls sing of young love lost, Larina and the old nurse Filipyevna remember their own youth. A group of peasants carries in a decorated sheaf of grain, and they sing and dance for Larina. Olga, wishing to join their merriment, teases Tatyana for being bookish and misty. Then Larina enters and likewise asks Tatyana the reason for her pallor. Olga in turn teases both her mother and sister, for she sees the approach of her fiancé, the poet Vladimir Lensky. Tatyana, learning that his elegant friend Eugene Onegin is with him, tries to flee in embarrassment.
Lensky arrives with Onegin. Tatyana falls instantly for the handsome stranger, who derides Lensky in private for having chosen the less interesting sister. Lensky and Olga commiserate having spent a whole day apart.
At bedtime, Tatyana can’t sleep. She asks the nurse to tell her stories of the olden days — then confesses she’s fallen in love. She spends the night writing to Onegin; and in the morning she asks Filipyevna to have her letter delivered.
Onegin finds Tatyana in the garden. He’s read her letter and wishes to reciprocate her candor — for he cannot reciprocate her feeling. She is a treasure, but he’s simply not the marrying kind: and she’d do well to restrain her artless ardor, lest another take advantage of her. His sermon ended, he offers her his arm and leads her inside.
Otoño. Hacienda de la familia Larin en la campiña rusa. Madame Larina prepara conservas y escucha a sus hijas Tatyana y Olga. Mientras las jóvenes cantan sobre un amor juvenil perdido, Larina y la anciana nodriza Filipievna recuerdan su propia juventud. Un grupo de campesinos entra con una gavilla de grano adornada y canta y baila para Larina. Olga, deseosa de unirse a la fiesta, se burla de Tatyana por ser demasiado estudiosa y soñadora. Entra Larina y también pregunta a Tatyana el motivo de su palidez. Olga se burla a su vez de su madre y de su hermana, pues ve acercarse a su prometido, el poeta Vladimir Lensky. Tatyana, al saber que viene con él su elegante amigo Eugene Onegin, intenta huir por vergüenza.
Lensky llega con Onegin. Tatyana se enamora al instante del apuesto desconocido, quien en privado se burla de Lensky por haber elegido a la hermana menos interesante. Lensky y Olga se lamentan por su parte de haber pasado todo un día separados.
A la hora de acostarse, Tatyana no puede dormir. Pide a la nodriza que le cuente historias de antaño y luego le confiesa que se ha enamorado. Pasa la noche escribiendo a Onegin y por la mañana pide a Filipievna que le haga llegar la carta.
Onegin encuentra a Tatyana en el jardín. Ha leído su carta y desea corresponder a su franqueza, ya que no puede corresponder a sus sentimientos. Ella es realmente un tesoro pero él no está hecho para el matrimonio; por otra parte, también le aconseja que quizás le convendría moderar su ardor, algo ingenuo en su opinión, para que nadie termine aprovechándose de ella. Al finalizar su sermón, le ofrece el brazo y la conduce al interior de la casa.
ACT II
The Larin estate. Onegin, whom Lensky has persuaded to attend Tatyana’s name-day party, finds himself seated directly across from her. She is mortified. He is ennui-ed. after the toasts he decides to punish Lensky for subjecting him to such a tiresome gathering and sweeps Olga off to dance for the rest of the evening.
The jealous Lensky quarrels with Olga, then with Onegin. To everyone’s dismay, he demands satisfaction for his offense. The party dissolves.
At dawn the two friends meet as foes. While Lensky waits for Onegin, he sings of poetry and of Olga. Regretting the folly of their prideful challenge, they still proceed for honor’s sake. Lensky is killed.
Hacienda de los Larin. Onegin, a quien Lensky ha persuadido para asistir a la fiesta del santo de Tatyana, se encuentra sentado justo enfrente de ella. Ella está mortificada; él, aburrido. Tras los brindis, Onegin decide castigar a Lensky por haberlo sometido a una velada tan tediosa y se lleva a Olga a bailar el resto de la noche.
El celoso Lensky riñe con Olga y luego con Onegin. Para consternación de todos, exige una compensación por la afrenta. La fiesta se disuelve.
Al amanecer, los dos amigos se ven las caras, esta vez como enemigos. Mientras Lensky espera a Onegin canta a la poesía y sobre Olga. Aunque se arrepienten de la necedad de su desafío orgulloso, deben proceden por honor. Lensky muere.
ACT III
Saint Petersburg, several years later. Returned from long travels, ridden with guilt for the death of his friend, Onegin attends one of the parties he has always detested, this one at the home of Prince Gremin. He wonders aloud about the elegant young woman who seems to hold the room in sway, and Gremin proudly presents his adored wife — Tatyana Larina. She greets Onegin serenely.
This time it is Onegin who pours out his love in a letter to Tatyana. He calls on her and begs her to run away with him. And this time hers is the sermon. She loves him as she did that day in the garden; but she is resolved to remain in this house with her husband. She flees the room, leaving Onegin alone in despair.
San Petersburgo, varios años después. De regreso tras largos viajes y atormentado por la culpa de matar de su amigo, Onegin asiste a una de las fiestas que siempre ha detestado, esta vez en casa del príncipe Gremin. Se pregunta en voz alta quién es la elegante joven que parece dominar la sala y Gremin presenta con orgullo a su adorada esposa: Tatyana Larina. Ella saluda a Onegin de manera serena.
Esta vez es Onegin quien vuelca su amor en una carta a Tatyana. La visita y le suplica que huya con él. Esta vez el sermón viene de ella: lo sigue amando como aquel día en el jardín pero está decidida a permanecer en su casa junto a su marido. Huye de la habitación, dejando a Onegin solo y desesperado.

Rolinda
Queen Rodelinda navigates a dangerous political web to protect her throne and family while her love for her supposedly dead husband reignites in a dramatic clash of passion and ambition.
Royal alliances shift and transform in the shadowy “noir melodrama gangster” world of R.B. Schlather’s staging of this revered Handel opera. Music Director Harry Bicket leads this work, where characters spin power, lies and loyalties through exquisite music in a chiaroscuro world where agendas and identities are never entirely clear. The cast features exciting company debuts including Lucy Crowe as Rodelinda, Anthony Gregory as Grimoaldo and Hugh Cutting as Unulfo.
La reina Rodelinda se mueve en una peligrosa red política para proteger su trono y a su familia. Mientras, su amor por su esposo, a quien se creía muerto, se reaviva en un enfrentamiento dramático de pasión y ambición.
La puesta en escena de R. B. Schlather transforma esta venerada ópera de Händel en un sombrío “melodrama negro de gánsteres” donde las alianzas reales mutan y se transforman. El director musical Harry Bicket lidera esta obra en la que los personajes se ven inmersos en una red de poder, mentiras y lealtades a través de una música exquisita y en un mundo de claroscuros donde las agendas y las identidades nunca resultan del todo evidentes. El reparto incluye destacados debuts con la compañía, entre los que se encuentran Lucy Crowe como Rodelinda, Anthony Gregory como Grimoaldo y Hugh Cutting como Unulfo.

Also aspiring to these lands is Grimoaldo, Duke of Benevento, who is wooing Eduige. The avaricious Gundeberto has now been killed, and it is believed Bertarido also has died, leaving behind his wife, Rodelinda, as Queen of Milan.
A su muerte, el Rey de Lombardía dejó sus dominios repartidos en partes iguales entre sus tres hijos: Bertarido, Eduige y Gundeberto. También aspira a esas tierras Grimoaldo, duque de Benevento, que corteja a Eduige. El avaro Gundeberto ha sido asesinado y se cree que Bertarido también ha muerto, dejando a su esposa Rodelinda como reina de Milán.
Act I
In the royal palace, Rodelinda mourns for her husband with their son, Flavio. Grimoaldo has seized power, and she is now his prisoner. Grimoaldo offers the throne back to her if she will marry him. Despite her precarious situation, Rodelinda refuses him. Once pledged to Grimoaldo, the spurned Eduige vows vengeance on him.
Unbeknownst to anyone except his faithful aide Unulfo, Bertarido is alive and hiding nearby. Unseen, he watches Rodelinda weep as she and Flavio bring flowers to his memorial monument. Grimoaldo’s ruthless councilor, Garibaldo, arrives with another offer of marriage from Grimoaldo; if she refuses again, her son will be killed. When she finally accepts, the eavesdropping Bertarido is consumed with rage. Unulfo, his aide, restrains him from revealing himself.
En el palacio real Rodelinda llora la muerte de su marido junto a su hijo Flavio. Grimoaldo ha tomado el poder y ella es ahora su prisionera. Éste le ofrece devolverle el trono si acepta casarse con él. A pesar de su precaria situación, Rodelinda lo rechaza. Por su parte, Eduige, despechada tras haber estado prometida a Grimoaldo, jura vengarse de él.
Sin que nadie lo sepa salvo su fiel ayudante Unulfo, Bertarido está en realidad vivo y se esconde cerca de allí. Sin ser visto, observa a Rodelinda llorar mientras ella y Flavio llevan flores a su propio monumento conmemorativo. Garibaldo, el despiadado consejero de Grimoaldo, llega con una nueva propuesta de matrimonio de éste: si Rodelinda vuelve a rechazarlo, su hijo será asesinado. Cuando finalmente acepta, Bertarido, oculto, se consume de ira. Unulfo lo contiene para que no se revele.
ACT II
Rodelinda announces her terms for marriage: She will only wed Grimoaldo if he personally kills Flavio before her eyes. Grimoaldo recoils at this, just as Rodelinda suspected he would. Garibaldo urges the wavering Grimoaldo to kill the boy, but Grimoaldo refuses. Unulfo rushes to Bertarido to reassure him of his wife’s fidelity.
Bertarido’s sister, Eduige, discovers her brother’s hiding place and promises to help him win back his wife and son. Acting as intermediary, Unulfo tells Rodelinda that Bertarido is alive and brings them together. Grimoaldo comes upon the happily embracing couple and threatens to imprison Bertarido. Rodelinda and Bertarido sing anguished farewells to each other before he is led away.
Rodelinda anuncia sus condiciones para el matrimonio: sólo se casará con Grimoaldo si él mismo mata a su hijo Flavio ante sus ojos. Grimoaldo retrocede horrorizado, tal como Rodelinda había previsto. Garibaldo insta al vacilante Grimoaldo a matar al niño pero éste se niega. Unulfo corre a tranquilizar a Bertarido, asegurándole la fidelidad de su esposa.
Eduige, la hermana de Bertarido, descubre el escondite de su hermano y promete ayudarlo a recuperar a su esposa y a su hijo. Actuando como intermediario, Unulfo informa a Rodelinda de que Bertarido está vivo y los reúne. Grimoaldo sorprende a la pareja abrazada y amenaza con encarcelar a Bertarido. Rodelinda y Bertarido se despiden cantando con angustia antes de que él sea conducido al cautiverio.
ACT III
Eduige and Unulfo plot Bertarido’s escape from prison. Garibaldo urges Grimoaldo to execute Bertarido. When Unulfo breaks into Bertarido’s prison cell, Bertarido, thinking he is one of the guards, stabs him. Not seriously wounded, Unulfo leads Bertarido to the secret escape route Eduige has prepared. Finding their way to the empty cell, Rodelinda and Flavio discover Unulfo’s blood on the floor and fear the worst. Rodelinda is overcome with despair.
Meanwhile, Grimoaldo, tormented by his conscience, seeks sleep in the palace gardens. Garibaldi discovers him there and, eager to usurp the throne for himself, is about to kill him. Bertarido leaps from his hiding place and strikes down Garibaldo. Chastened, Grimoaldo now reveals his change of heart and relinquishes the throne of Milan to Bertarido and Rodelinda. And he makes amends to Eduige by offering to wed her. All express their joy and hail a brighter future.
Eduige y Unulfo traman la fuga de Bertarido de la prisión. Garibaldo insta a Grimoaldo a ejecutarlo. Cuando Unulfo irrumpe en la celda, Bertarido, creyendo que es uno de los guardias, lo apuñala, aunque no queda gravemente herido. Unulfo logra conducir a Bertarido a la ruta secreta de escape que Eduige ha preparado. Al llegar a la celda vacía, Rodelinda y Flavio descubren sangre de Unulfo en el suelo y temen lo peor. Rodelinda cae presa de la desesperación.
Mientras tanto, Grimoaldo, atormentado por su conciencia, intenta dormir en los jardines del palacio. Garibaldo lo encuentra allí y, ansioso por usurpar el trono para sí mismo, está a punto de matarlo. Bertarido salta de su escondite y da muerte a Garibaldo. Avergonzado, Grimoaldo revela su cambio de parecer, renunciando al trono de Milán en favor de Bertarido y Rodelinda y reconciliándose con Eduige ofreciéndole matrimonio. Todos expresan su alegría y celebran un futuro más prometedor.

LILI ELBE
Lili’s journey — marked by love, loss and self-discovery — is the true story of a Danish painter who, with the steadfast support of her wife Gerda, became one of the first to undergo gender-affirmation surgery nearly a century ago.
Named “Best World Premiere” at the 2024 Oper! Awards, we are thrilled to present the American premiere of Tobias Picker and Aryeh Lev Stollman’s groundbreaking new opera. Former Apprentice Singer, baritone Lucia Lucas, makes her Santa Fe Opera debut as Lili Elbe, and returning soprano Sylvia D’Eramo sings the role of Gerda Wegener, Lili’s supportive wife who was also a celebrated artist. This production brings the artists’ milieux of 1920s Paris and Copenhagen to life with direction by James Robinson, set design by Allen Moyer and costumes by Marco Piemontese.
La vida de Lili, marcada por el amor, la pérdida y la búsqueda del autoconocimiento, cuenta la historia real de una pintora danesa que, con el apoyo incondicional de su esposa Gerda, se convirtió hace casi un siglo en una de las primeras personas en someterse a una cirugía de afirmación de género.
Galardonada como “Mejor Estreno Mundial” en los Premios Oper! 2024, nos complace enormemente presentar el estreno estadounidense de la nueva e innovadora ópera de Tobias Picker y Aryeh Lev Stollman. Lucia Lucas, exintegrante de nuestro programa de jóvenes, debuta en la Ópera de Santa Fe como Lili Elbe, y la soprano Sylvia D’Eramo regresa para encarnar a Gerda Wegener, la fiel esposa de Lili y artista de gran renombre. Esta producción recrea con viveza los ambientes artísticos del París y el Copenhague de la década de 1920, y cuenta con la dirección de James Robinson, escenografía de Allen Moyer y vestuario de Marco Piemontese.

Synopsis
Act I
In the late 1920’s, the actress Anna Larssen of the Royal Danish Theater, having just premiered the role of Orpheus in a new play, could not appear for the last sitting of her portrait, the centerpiece of a new exhibition. Anna makes an unusual suggestion; that the artist, Gerda Wegener, ask Lili Elbe, (at that time known as Gerda’s husband, the artist Einar Wegener), to dress up and pose as Anna. At this sitting Lili is brought to a profound self-discovery, never before acknowledged. Like Orpheus compelled to look back at Eurydice, Lili can never again turn away from the truth of who she is. Despite the support of Gerda, their friends Eric and Hélène, and Lili’s brother Marius, Lili encounters hostility and rejection from her sister Dagmar and later her own mother. Through the efforts of Hélène she is introduced to Professor Warnekros who agrees to operate on her at the Municipal Women’s Clinic in Dresden.
A finales de la década de 1920, la actriz Anna Larssen del Teatro Real Danés, tras estrenar el papel de Orfeo en una nueva obra, no puede acudir a la última sesión para terminar un retrato que le están haciendo y que será la pieza central de una nueva exposición. Anna hace una sugerencia inusual: que Gerda Wegener, la artista encargada de pintarla, pida a Lili Elbe (entonces conocida como Einar Wegener, esposo de Gerda) que se vista y pose como Anna. Durante esa sesión, Lili llega a un profundo autodescubrimiento nunca antes reconocido. Al igual que Orfeo, obligado a volverse para mirar a Eurídice, Lili ya no puede ignorar la verdad de quién es en realidad. A pesar del apoyo de Gerda, de sus amigos Eric y Hélène y de su hermano Marius, Lili se enfrenta a la hostilidad y el rechazo de su hermana Dagmar y, más tarde, de su propia madre. Gracias a los esfuerzos de Hélène, conoce al profesor Warnekros, quien accede a operarla en la Clínica Municipal de Mujeres de Dresde.
ACT II
After her first surgery, a dramatic encounter with the King of Denmark leads to an extraordinary decree — Lili is legally recognized as a woman, and her marriage to Gerda is annulled.
Despite the seeming loss of their deep relationship, both Lili and Gerda find temporary love in different quarters, Lili with the perfumer Claude Lejeune, and Gerda with the Italian Major Fernando Porta.
When Claude Lejeune asks Lili to marry him, Lili delays until she can have surgery to become a mother, which Professor Warnekros says he can make possible. He and the Matron of the clinic choose a young woman to be the experimental uterus donor. Neither Lili nor the Young Woman suspect what is in this plan.
Lili, dying from complications of her surgery, writes and thanks the absent Gerda for the flowers she has sent every day from Rome. In return, Gerda sends a final letter. From two distant cities, their voices rise together in a last duet — declaring their love for each other that only grows and never looks back.
Tras su primera cirugía, un dramático encuentro con el Rey de Dinamarca da lugar a un decreto extraordinario: Lili es reconocida legalmente como mujer y su matrimonio con Gerda queda anulado.
A pesar de la aparente pérdida de su vínculo profundo, tanto Lili como Gerda encuentran amores temporales en otras partes: Lili junto al perfumista Claude LeJeune y Gerda con el mayor italiano Fernando Porta.
Cuando Claude LeJeune le pide matrimonio a Lili, ella lo pospone hasta poder someterse a una cirugía que le permita ser madre, algo que el profesor Warnekros afirma poder conseguir. Él y la matrona de la clínica eligen a una joven como donante experimental de útero. Ni Lili ni la joven sospechan lo que implica este plan.
Lili está muriéndose a causa de complicaciones derivadas de la cirugía. Escribe y agradece a la ausente Gerda las flores que le ha enviado cada día desde Roma. Como respuesta, Gerda envía una última carta. Desde dos ciudades distantes, sus voces se elevan juntas en un último dúo, declarando un amor mutuo que no hará sino crecer y que nunca mirará atrás.

February 16 – March 23Step into the world of Shakespeare with an immersive, beginner-friendly acting course designed specifically for adults.

Through a balanced mix of monologue work and scene study, students will develop essential skills in dialogue delivery, timing, and collaborative performance—all in a supportive format.
Shakespeare Session emphasizes hands-on exploration like analyzing key passages, unravelling the rhythm and meaning behind Shakespeare’s words, and experimenting with vocal and physical expression. Each student will receive a study guide to aid in understanding the language and context of the plays, ensuring a confident approach to the material.
The course concludes with a showcase for family and friends, providing a wonderful opportunity to celebrate progress and share, hopefully, a newfound passion for Shakespearean performance.
