Discovering the Music of César Franck
Munoz Waxman Gallery, Center for Contemporary Arts, Santa Fe, NM, USArtists, art lovers, gallery and museum-goers, lovers of line, shape, color, and texture: would you like to deepen your understanding of music, that most ineffable of artistic mediums? Would you like to get closer to the music as it's conceived by the composer—the melodic lines and shapes, the textural weave of melody and accompaniment, the shadings of instrumental color, and the repetition of rhythmic and melodic motifs that make the meaning of the composition over time?
Would you like to know how the performers shape the sound as they play, breathing life into the the notes on the page, working with accents, articulations, dynamics, and balances, creating and relating within the sonic landscape, adding atmosphere and emotion to the structure of the piece as presented on the page?
If your curiosity is piqued, if your interest is aroused, if your imagination is fired, and if you're ready for artistic adventure, then please join us for Discovering the Music of César Franck, a 90-minute exploration of the composer's beloved Violin Sonata, performed by two internationally-known musicians: virtuoso violinist Cármelo de los Santos, concertmaster of the New Mexico Philharmonic, and faculty member at UNM, and the brilliant Macedonian pianist and composer Natasha Stojanovska.
The program is presented by Opus OP Arts and Education Projects, a small nonprofit that was born of the pandemic.
Your host for the program is the Executive and Artistic Director of Opus OP, conductor and arts educator Oliver Prezant. Oliver has helped thousands of music lovers and museum patrons deepen their appreciation and understanding of music and the arts through his talks for the Santa Fe Opera, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the New Mexico Museum of Art, and the Albuquerque Museum, and he will be your guide for this interactive exploration of Franck's fabulously French, passionately romantic violin sonata.
During the program we'll stop time—we'll share impressions with one another and the musicians as we celebrate the structure of the composition and work towards a full performance of the first two movements of the sonata.
You know what it's like to delve deeply into painting, a print, or a sculpture—why not plumb the depths of a work of musical art? The possibility of a transformative listening experience awaits...

Poetry meets Collage at the historic studio of Olive Rush
Olive Rush Artist Home & Museum, 630 Canyon Rd., Santa Fe, NM, USOlive Rush loved poetry. Titles to her paintings were often lines from poems – from William Blake (The moon like a flower in Heaven’s high bower) to e e Cummings (Into the sea of sky, Light walks). These lines add layers of meaning to her paintings.
In this workshop, we will incorporate poetry to deepen one of the most basic art forms – collage. We learn this form in kindergarten. But let’s explore what scraps of paper cut from discarded magazines and catalogs can show us, by incorporating poetry into our collages - to discover meanings hidden within our materials, within our perspectives, and within ourselves. REGISTER HERE.
Participants are invited to bring a favorite poem, whether their own, a beloved classic, or a new favorite: some words that move you. As we work, we will let the words shape the images and let the images imbue the words with new meanings.
Your Teacher: Deco is an award-winning collagist with decades of collage experience. She lived in Chicago most of her life and moved to Santa Fe in 2010, to embrace the warmth and color of the Southwest. She has created still life, portraits, landscapes and starscapes in collage. Her work has been displayed in the White House. The State of New Mexico commissioned a collage to honor our state poets; this piece can be seen in the Tewa State Building in Albuquerque. She has embedded the poems and prose of Stevie Smith, Shakespeare, James Joyce and Abraham Lincoln into her collages.
Cost and Registration: 3 hours instruction and practice - $90 plus a materials fee of $20 to be paid at the time of class. Scissors will be provided but participants are welcome to bring their own if they prefer. REGISTER HERE.
