Mexican-born, Houston-based composer premieres piece of immigration experience after...
Stories of his fellow detainees, specifically the experiences of migrants crossing the Sonoran Desert, became the impetus for his latest work, “Desert Shelter.” Scored for a string sextet, the piece — which is in fact an interdisciplinary exploration, showcasing musicians from the Ponce Project and members of NobleMotion Dance — will make its debut this weekend in the Wortham Center’s Cullen Theater, as part of Performing Arts Houston’s annual “New/Now” artist commissioning project.
In an extension of the same conversation, the composer and founder of ConcertiaHTX, a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to empowering social causes, is also working on an immersive vocal drama with attorney, professor and internationally recognized children’s rights scholar Warren Binford. Slated to premiere in September at the University of Colorado, “Soul Echoes” is based on sworn declarations by children detained at the border.
