    NEW MEXICO Crossroads of NewandAncient 1999 – 2000 Speakers Bureau & Chautauqua Programs Millennium Edition N EW M EXICO E NDOWMENT FOR THE H UMANITIES ABOUT THE COVER: AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER MARKO KECMAN of Aztec captures the crossroads of ancient and modern in New Mexico with this image of Comet Hale-Bopp over Fajada Butte in Chaco Culture National Historic Park. Kecman wanted to juxtapose the new comet with the butte that was an astronomical observatory in the years 900 – 1200 AD. Fajada (banded) Butte is home to the ancestral Puebloan sun shrine popularly known as “The Sun Dagger” site. The butte is closed to visitors to protect its fragile cultural sites. The clear skies over the Southwest led to discovery of Hale-Bopp on July 22-23, 1995. Alan Hale saw the comet from his driveway in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and Thomas Bopp saw the comet from the desert near Stanfield, Arizona at about the same time. Marko Kecman: 115 N.

    Fifty-Ninth National Conference October 27–29, 2016 Santa Fe, New Mexico ABSTRACTS & PROGRAM NOTES updated September 12, 2016 Alberti, Alexander Paper: From Beatboxing to Bach: Applications of Collegiate A Cappella Across the Music Curriculum In recent decades, collegiate a cappella groups have flourished on campuses across the nation, yet a cappella’s place in the study of classical art music has been unclear, despite such benefits as practical ear training, group cohesion, applications of music arrangement, and engaging vocal practice. St. Jean (2014) investigated a cappella’s benefits to the undergraduate ensemble singer’s skillset; however, the literature has yet to expand this into a broader range of musical disciplines. To address this gap, the present study explored how the collegiate a cappella experience may supplement, improve, and coexist with the traditional music curriculum at the college level, using a qualitative methodology known as experience-sampling (Zirkel, Garcia, Murphy, 2015). Undergraduates in various music degree programs, simultaneously engaged in a cappella organizations, submitted weekly reports of the integration of their a cappella skills into their courses, lessons, and classwork. Coupled with interviews, this information was thematically coded and analyzed through the lens of Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model to discover how skills gained in a cappella supported students’ experience in the music curriculum, regardless of concentration. Results of this study may better inform curriculum development and professional development opportunities across the entire music discipline. Alhadeff, Peter Paper: Berklee’s Fair Music and Transparency Report: A Critique Berklee’s Fair Music Report has made headlines by highlighting much opacity in the engagement of talent by a variety of music intermediaries.

  • Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients
    Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients 2018/2019 Charles MacKay, Former General Director of the Santa Fe Opera 2018 marked Charles MacKay’s 10th and final season as General Director of The Santa Fe Opera and the culmination of his extraordinary 50-year career, a trajectory that took him from orchestra “pit boy” to impresario. Charles started his career at The Santa Fe Opera in 1968, working in several administrative and artistic capacities until 1978 when he went to work for the Spoleto Festival USA and Festival of Two Worlds. In 1985 he became Executive Director, then General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis until returning in 2008 to The Santa Fe Opera as General Director. Only the third General Director in Santa Fe Opera history, Charles leaves The Santa Fe Opera an important legacy to build upon, including improved infrastructure and enhanced front-of-house facilities; administrative buildings, beautiful grounds, Information Technology, and rehearsal facilities; increased net assets from $61 to $120 million, and an increased operating budget from $17 million to $24 million. He oversaw the strengthening of education and community programs serving over 50,000 people annually. All in all, Charles passed on an institution whose annual economic impact to the region is approximately $250 million. Myra Krien, International Performer, Choreographer, and Educator Marie Romero Cash was born into a Santa Fe family of sculptors, tinsmiths, retablo painters, and colcha stitchers. Her parents, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship recipients Emilio and Senaida Romero helped revive the traditions of hammered-tin work and stitchery.
