Caesura: Raven Chacon & Guillermo Galindo

Caesura is a collaborative and graphic music score that examines the sonic history of the railway that will be performed live by Raven Chacon, Guillermo Galindo, and guest percussionist Alan Zimmerman, utilizing railway fragments and ephemera. Designed to be site-responsive, this performance will take place at Albuquerque Rail Yards, driving home the artists’ conceptual vision as the piece was composed based on historically significant train routes Chacon and Galindo identified and researched.

Caesura is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation & Development Fund Project co-commissioned by 516 Arts with Ogden Contemporary Arts, RedLine Contemporary Art Center, Duke Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The 516 Arts, Albuquerque, New Mexico chapter of Caesura has been supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, the NPN Artist Engagement Fund, and the City of Albuquerque.
