Event Type: Local Entertainment, Performing Arts
A newly orchestrated version of John Donald Robb’s Requiem will be performed by the New Mexico Bach Society. The rarely performed St. Cecilia Mass by Charles Gounod also will be on the program. The performances will be presented by the New Mexico Performing Arts Society and will feature top-tier professional musicians now living in New Mexico. Franz Vote, a celebrated conductor who spent years with the Metropolitan Opera, will be conducting both pieces.
The Requiem was completed in 1985 when Robb, former dean of the UNM College of Fine Arts and a prolific composer, was 93. It was his last major composition and was written, “In Memory of Mother, Father, and Eight Brothers & Sisters”. It originally had been scored for a large orchestra and chorus, but for the Santa Fe concert has been re-scored for a smaller orchestra. Gounod, a French composer, completed the highly acclaimed St. Cecilia Mass in 1854, when he was 36. The piece established him as a noteworthy composer.

Event Type: Local Entertainment, Performing Arts
featuring seventy Belisama student dancers, with original choreography by the School’s Artistic Director Annie Kohn; instructors Tara Debevec and Jonathan Guise; graduating seniors Amanda Schulhofer and Hannah Sachs; and Founder and Company Director Adrienne Bellis. The evening presents dancers age four to twenty-three in modern, jazz, contemporary ballet, and Irish dances. The School’s philosophy—as demonstrated by the Repertory performance—centers on the individuality, uniqueness of expression, well-rounded lifestyle, and health of each student, with learning through dance in a supportive environment.
A highlight of this year’s concert is the diverse and lighthearted swing set, which includes an Andrews Sisters-inspired Irish trio set to the famous, upbeat ‘Bugle Boy,’ and a somber contemporary ballet for an Amon Tobin song. Judy Garland's ‘Get Happy’ accompanies a cheerful jazz dance performed by beginning teen Kick Start students, “although you wouldn't guess that they just started dancing this year!” said Artistic Director Annie Kohn. Kohn recalls early memories singing and dancing to Garland herself; as a result, choreographing this dance and working with new teen students has been “a really sweet process” for the Santa Fe-born choreographer. “I have absolutely loved working with the Kick Start group, and am so pleased we are now offering a class at Belisama that is programmed especially for teens who’ve always wanted to study dance.”
Offering a classic aesthetic, advanced level student ballet ‘Fly’ is performed to a beautiful arrangement by Italian pianist Ludovico Einaudi. The dancers’ movements are at times inspired by the music, and at other moments provide contrast with fast, sharp contemporary steps. Kohn said: “When I’m choreographing for a group, I'll sometimes begin by making a phrase of movement and then use it as a palette to play with.” Following this method in the development of her choreography allows Kohn “space to work ‘in the moment’,” and also inspires her students to share their own ideas in the creative process.
Young dancers in the contemporary school share a circus-themed dance that is sweet, funny, mysterious, and “sure to bring a smile to anyone's face,” said Kohn. “I know I am on the right path with a piece when the students are so excited that they don't want to leave at the end of class!” Music includes DeVotchKa, Rachel Portman, and songs from Cirque du Soleil.
This year’s five graduating seniors, Marisa Graham, Rhiannon Johnson, Hannah Sachs, Amanda Schulhofer, and Alejandra Vazquez Bauer, are alumnae of Charisma Dance Company and have been dancing together for twelve years. Belisama's spring concert will be their final event as a group; the seniors will perform special choreography by Kohn, Sachs, and Schulhofer. Schulhofer has selected a song by twenty-seven year old Icelandic instrumentalist Ólafur Arnalds for her dance, and describes the concept of her composition as “mostly about finding the motivation to keep moving forward, when you reach that point where you feel like giving up—despite how close you are to achieving your goals.” She names dance as a source of energy and inspiration in her life: “Choreographing for my classmates has really proven to me how much we all support each other.” In regard to the seniors’ performances, “their growth and maturity shines,” Kohn praised.
ABOUT BELISAMA DANCE:
School Artistic Director Annie Kohn is a Santa Fe native; she has trained with Aspen Santa Fe Ballet, Moving People Dance, and under the private mentorship of Mary Anne Santos Newhall. Kohn received her BFA magna cum laude in Dance with a focus on Choreography from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. She has performed works by many respected choreographers, including Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, Donald McKayle, and Bebe Miller. She has been a company member of Robert Wood Dance New York/Santa Fe since 2009, and continues to choreograph and teach as well as perform.

Born of blood, sweat and tears, The Strange is the culmination of many lives who have influenced what would become one of The Southwest's most creative and hard-working true rock acts. Described as "young outlaws" the members of The Strange have battled through many a hardship and hurdle in the process of bringing their brand of "desert rock" to the ears of the region. With no official source of support, the band has managed to tour extensively across the Southwest, West Coast, and Texas as well as having landed some impressive gigs in their hometown. Justin Lindsey's honest songwriting accented by the powerful and soulful sound that Daniel Murphy, Andy Diekmann and Braden Anderson provide create a familiar, yet exciting new rock experience.www.strangerocknroll.com
