Artist/Group:
The Figueroa Music and Arts Project
The Figueroa Music and Arts Project, Festival Ballet Albuquerque and the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science - with real dinosaur exhibits - collaborate for a whimsical afternoon of sights and sounds for all ages, Sunday, March 10 at 2 p.m. Young local virtuoso pianist Joshua Rupley will also perform.
"Tyrannosaurus Sue: A Cretaceous Concerto," by Bruce Adolph, takes listeners on an imaginary account, narrated over the music, of the life and times of the largest, most complete and best preserved Tyrannosaurus Rex ever found. Maestro Figueroa will narrate and conduct Sue's story. This will be paired with an exhibit of real Tyrannosaurus bones found in Mew Mexico, as well as some from other species, from the Museum of Natural History and Science.
Darius Milhaud's La Creation du Monde, is an enchanting and humorous depiction of the world's creation as depicted in African folk mythology. But the roots of the music are from much closer to home. Milhaud was greatly impressed by the American jazz music he heard in New York's Harlem on a visit in 1922 - and that jazz influence comes through clearly in this composition. The choreography is by Festival Ballet Albuquerque's Director Patricia Dickinson Wells, with superb professional dancers and several children dancers from her company dancing as well.
Virtuoso young local pianist Joshua Rupley, a past winner of the Jackie McGehee Young Artists Competition, will perform Chopin's magisterial Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52.
