John Donald Robb’s ‘Requiem’ to be Featured in Santa Fe Concert

May 14, 2013 | By Carolyn Gonzales

A newly orches­trated ver­sion of John Don­ald Robb’s Requiem will be fea­tured in a Thurs­day, May 23 Santa Fe con­cert pre­sented by the New Mex­ico Per­form­ing Arts Soci­ety (NMPAS). The rarely per­formed St. Cecilia Mass by Charles Gounod also is also on the pro­gram. The con­cert begins at 7 p.m. in St. Fran­cis Audi­to­rium in the New Mex­ico Museum of Art.

Both per­for­mances are to be con­ducted by Franz Vote, a found­ing mem­ber of the NMPAS who has been called one of the finest con­duc­tors of his era. He spent the 1990s as a con­duc­tor with the Met­ro­pol­i­tan Opera and through­out his career has col­lab­o­rated with many of the top names in opera. Both com­po­si­tions will be per­formed by the New Mex­ico Bach Soci­ety, fea­tur­ing a pro­fes­sional orches­tra, choir and soloists.

Max­ine Thevenot, organ­ist and choral direc­tor at St. John’s Epis­co­pal Cathe­dral in Albu­querque, will play the nearly 100-year-old McNary pipe organ, which was donated to the museum in the 1930s. She is also a lec­turer at UNM.

Addi­tional fea­tured per­form­ers include Edmund Con­nolly, Andre Garcia-Nuthmann, Sarah Ihle­feld, Carol Leit­ner, Lina Ramos, Kath­lene Ritch and Tim Willson.

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 was orig­i­nally 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.

The UNM John Don­ald Robb Trust is con­tribut­ing par­tial under­writ­ing to the Santa Fe con­cert. Sup­port also comes from Friends of The New Mex­ico Per­form­ing Arts Soci­ety, the Santa Fe Sym­phony and Richard Kurman.

Ticket prices are $55/$45/$30/$20 and may be pur­chased in advance at the Tick­ets Santa Fe Box Office in Santa Fe’s Lensic Per­form­ing Arts Cen­ter or by call­ing (505) 988‑1234. Tick­ets may also be pur­chased on the night of the con­cert at St. Fran­cis Audi­to­rium. Doors open at 6 p.m.

For more infor­ma­tion, con­tact Nancy Har­bert or call (505) 277‑8967.

May 13, 2013 | By Steve Carr

UNM’s Com­mu­nity Based Pre­ven­tion Research Pro­fes­sional Devel­op­ment Series fea­tures Dr. Julia Mered­ith Hess who will dis­cuss “Qual­i­ta­tive Research Meth­ods with Chil­dren and Ado­les­cents” on Tues­day, May 21 from 12 to 1 p.m. at the Research Incu­ba­tor Build­ing (RIB) Com­mons located on the UNM cam­pus at 2703 Fron­tier NE. Atten­dees are invited to bring your lunch.

Chil­dren and teens are at par­tic­u­lar devel­op­men­tal and life stages, with their own per­spec­tives, expe­ri­ences and vul­ner­a­bil­i­ties, and they are often per­ceived as per­plex­ing or chal­leng­ing as research par­tic­i­pants. In this sem­i­nar, a dis­cus­sion of qual­i­ta­tive meth­ods for con­duct­ing research with kids, includ­ing inter­views, par­tic­i­pant obser­va­tion, focus groups Pho­toVoice, audio diaries, jour­nal­ing, research via social media (e.g. Face­book, Twit­ter) and par­tic­i­pa­tory research. Come share your own expe­ri­ence and learn some­thing new to try in your next research project.

Hess is a cul­tural anthro­pol­o­gist whose pri­mary research inter­ests are the health and well-being of migrants, includ­ing refugees and immi­grants. Since join­ing the PRC in 2009, she has devel­oped a par­tic­u­lar focus on research with youth. She has been the lead qual­i­ta­tive data ana­lyst on research projects with Native Amer­i­cans and recently reset­tled refugees (Dr. Jes­sica Good­kind, PhD, PI). Hess is a co-editor/co-author of an edited vol­ume, Every­day Rup­tures: Chil­dren, Youth, and Migra­tion in Global Per­spec­tive edited by Coe, et al (Van­der­bilt Uni­ver­sity Press, 2011).

Dur­ing the past 14 years, Drum­mond has had 14 paint­ings included in the National Arts for the Parks top 100, eight in the Sec­ond 100 show, and has exhib­ited every year since the incep­tion of the Mini 100.

Midwifery and Drought Topics on New Mexico in Focus

May 9, 2013 | By Mara Kerkez

This week on New Mex­ico in Focus, mid­wives are in the stu­dio to talk about the his­tory of mid­wifery in the state and its cur­rent role. The group explores the health care community’s response to the prac­tice as well as train­ing stan­dards for dif­fer­ent kinds of midwives.

For the first time in its his­tory, Ele­phant Butte reser­voir released not a drop of water for down­stream deliv­ery in the month of April. The Line opin­ion panel exam­ines the deep­en­ing drought in New Mexico.

The group also looks at grow­ing dis­sat­is­fac­tion among school dis­tricts with New Mexico’s fund­ing of pub­lic edu­ca­tion, and for­mer Gov. Bill Richard­son opined on national tele­vi­sion this week that Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s polit­i­cal views shouldn’t define him “as a His­panic.” Were the governor’s com­ments ill deliv­ered or right on the money?

New Mexico in Focus Examines ‘Closed’ Primaries

May 2, 2013 | By Mara Kerkez

New Mex­ico in Focus exam­ines whether the state’s major polit­i­cal par­ties should be allowed to hold “closed” pri­maries.  The exec­u­tive direc­tor of an influ­en­tial Santa Fe think tank says it is time to rethink the practice.

The pro­gram airs Fri­day nights at 7 p.m. on chan­nel 5.1 and appears online at NMiF shortly there­after. The show rebroad­casts Sat­ur­day at 5 p.m. on chan­nel 9.1. and again on Sun­day at 7 a.m. on chan­nel 5.1.

The Line opin­ion panel looks at what’s ahead for New Mexico’s health insur­ance exchange. The Leg­is­la­ture and Gov. Susana Mar­tinez finally agreed on the frame­work to enable a state-run exchange. But at the group’s first meet­ing, word came from a con­sul­tant that meet­ing an Octo­ber dead­line is a long­shot at best. Does this mean the fed­eral gov­ern­ment will step in?

The group also looks at the future of a pro­posed horse slaugh­ter facil­ity in south­east­ern New Mex­ico and the panel exam­ines the poten­tial impact of Sam Bregman’s role as head of the major­ity party in New Mexico.

Guests
• Rep. Brian Egolf, D-Santa Fe
• Fred Nathan, exec­u­tive direc­tor, Think New Mexico

Line Pan­elists
• Dan Foley, for­mer New Mex­ico House Repub­li­can Whip

Richard Alley to Give Global Climate Change Lectures

May 2, 2013 | By Steve Carr

Richard Alley

Pro­fes­sor Richard Alley, an inter­na­tion­ally rec­og­nized expert on global cli­mate change, presents two talks in the Depart­ment of Earth and Plan­e­tary Sci­ences. As part of the annual Earth and Plan­e­tary Sci­ences Caswell Sil­ver Dis­tin­guished Lec­turer, Alley will present a talk titled, Get Rich and Save the World: Energy, Envi­ron­ment and Our Future, on May 2 in Northrop Hall, room 122. The lec­ture on gen­eral cli­mate change has broad appeal and interest.

On Fri­day, May 3, he will present a sec­ond lec­ture in the same loca­tion titled,Slip Slidin’ Away: Ice Sheets and Sea-Level Rise. This lec­ture, which starts at 2 p.m., is more spe­cial­ized, but is still of gen­eral inter­est. Both lec­tures are free and open to the public.

Alley is an Amer­i­can geol­o­gist and Evan Pugh Pro­fes­sor of Geo­sciences at the Penn State Uni­ver­sity who has authored more than 170 ref­er­eed sci­en­tific pub­li­ca­tions about the rela­tion­ships between Earth’s cryos­phere and global cli­mate change. He is rec­og­nized by the Insti­tute for Sci­en­tific Infor­ma­tion as a “highly cited researcher.”

In 1999, Alley was invited to tes­tify about cli­mate change by Vice Pres­i­dent Al Gore, in 2003 by the U.S. Sen­ate Com­mit­tee on Com­merce, Sci­ence, and Trans­porta­tion, and before the U.S. House Com­mit­tee on Sci­ence and Tech­nol­ogy in 2007 and again in 2010.

Alley’s 2007 tes­ti­mony was due to his role as a lead author of “Chap­ter 4: Obser­va­tions: Changes in Snow, Ice and Frozen Ground” for the Fourth Assess­ment Report of the Inter­gov­ern­men­tal Panel on Cli­mate Change. He has par­tic­i­pated in the joint UN/WMO panel since 1992, hav­ing been a con­tribut­ing author to both the sec­ond and third IPCC assess­ment reports.

Alley has writ­ten sev­eral papers in the jour­nals Nature and Sci­ence and chaired the National Research Coun­cil on Abrupt Cli­mate Change. In 2000, he pub­lished the book, The Two-Mile Time Machine: Ice Cores, Abrupt Cli­mate Change, and Our Future. He has appeared in numer­ous cli­mate change-related tele­vi­sion doc­u­men­taries and has given many pub­lic pre­sen­ta­tions and media inter­views about the subject.
