From our Artistic Director and Conductor, John Tiranno
"The theme of this concert is a celebration of the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and it’s no coincidence that the concerts will take place over the weekend that we celebrate his birthday! I first began to explore the idea of a dream-themed concert and those thoughts eventually developed into the idea to honor the life and work of one of this country’s most prominent civil rights leaders. The second half of our concert will include songs about Martin Luther King Jr., songs who’s text comes from his writings and speeches, and even a song that is widely known to have been one of his favorites! I think this is going to be a very special musical experience for both our audience and all of us with the Zia Singers.
Before we perform all of those songs however, we will present a contemporary work by the Swedish composer Mårten Jansson called Missa Popularis. The title translates from Latin to ‘popular mass’ and its musical roots come from folk music. It was composed in 2015 and is accompanied by string quintet. I have had the pleasure of communicating with Mr. Jansson regarding his composition and our upcoming performances of it, and I am really looking forward to introducing this beautiful piece to our Santa Fe audiences."
