SUMMARY:Concert: Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil
DESCRIPTION:A Sanctuary of Sound \nJuly 23–31\, 2025 \nLast performed in 2016\, the Santa Fe Desert Chorale is thrilled to continue the tradition of presenting Sergei Rachmaninoff’s profoundly beautiful and deeply spiritual All-Night Vigil (popularly known as Vespers). This cornerstone of choral music consists of fifteen movements of unaccompanied voices creating a cathedral of sound\, resonating with both the ancient and the innovative. Composed in less than two weeks in 1915 against the backdrop of war\, Rachmaninoff’s masterpiece marries traditional Orthodox chants with his distinctive harmonic language\, creating a work of great emotional depth. From the grand opening of “Come\, Let Us Worship” to the famous low B-flat descent in “Now Lettest Thou\,” the Vespers showcases the full expressive range of the human voice. The Desert Chorale will expand to 32 top-tier professional vocalists to tackle this Herculean work. Whether you’re hearing the Vespers for the first time or revisiting a beloved favorite\, this program promises to be an unforgettable journey through what many consider to be the pinnacle of Russian choral music.

SUMMARY:Performance: Orinn Evans Trash Gadget Trio
DESCRIPTION:Taos Jazz Bebop Society presents \nOrinn Evans Trash Gadget Trio \nOrinn Evans\, piano; Matthew Parrish\, bass; Byron Landham\, drums \nDuring his kaleidoscopic career\, pianist Orrin Evans has become the model of a fiercely independent artist who pushes the envelope in all directions. Never supported by a major label\, Evans has ascended to top-of-the-pyramid stature on his instrument\, as affirmed by his #1 ranking as “Rising Star Pianist” in the 2018 DownBeat Critics Poll. Three Grammy nominations for his raucous\, risk-friendly Captain Black Big Band stamp his bona fides as a bandleader and composer. In addition\, Evans’ varied projects include the Eubanks Evans Experience (a duo with eminent guitarist Kevin Eubanks); the Brazilian unit Terreno Comum; Evans’ working trio with bassist Luques Curtis and drummer Mark Whitfield\, Jr.; and Tarbaby (a collective trio with bassist Eric Revis and drummer Nasheet Waits). Evans is also a dedicated educator and sits on the boards of several jazz & education-focused festivals and non-profit organizations.

SUMMARY:Opening: Delaney Hoffman\, No Promise is Good Promise
DESCRIPTION:SFNO is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Delaney Hoffman entitled No Promise is Good Promise\, on view from July 24 – August 1. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, July 24 from 6-8:00pm with a performance staged at 7:00pm. \nPulling from a wide array of research interests\, Hoffman constructs objects and images that operate in the interest of the paranoid subject as they seek to expand our definition of what that could mean. Much of biblical prophecy was driven by the imagination\, and the same could be said for contemporary short-form video soothsayers now. While we are culturally driven to dismiss these fantasies when they come from the mouths of others (and ourselves)\, Hoffman asks what would happen if we catered to the paranoid voice? What if we considered it to be useful? What if we took it seriously before the conspiracy unravels itself in front of us? \nThis question is addressed through a variety of material approaches that span steel\, copper\, and silver gelatin. Seductive surface treatments shift with the body of the viewer as holographic powder-coats and glinting enamel engage with light in a way that calls back to Hoffman’s foundational training as a photographer. Many works feature motifs that directly reference invasive and aggressive species found widely on the North American continent\, positing that those who are hard to eradicate alongside their pesky ideologies are a certain kind of trickster\, for better or for worse.

SUMMARY:Opening: Arthur Lopez: Altar Visions of the West
DESCRIPTION:In Altar Visions of the West\, radical regionalist and brilliant wood carver Arthur Lopez tunes out the static of the mythologized frontier to celebrate the enduring\, sacred craftsmanship rooted in the actual earth of the region. In this series\, the mid-century television set is reimagined as a contemporary altar. Just as traditional New Mexican altar screens have historically provided a window into the divine\, the vintage screen provided a window into a beautifully fabricated mythology. \nAltar-Visions of the West\, New Works by Arthur Lopez opens at King Galleries Santa Fe Spanish Market Weekend\, Friday July 24th with a special reception from 5 to 7P. Lopez will be present for the opening night festivities. King Galleries is located at 130 Lincoln Ave\, just off the historic Santa Fe plaza. \nFor generations\, the global imagination has seen the American West through a cinematic lens—a landscape of Hollywood soundstages\, romanticized archetypes\, and exported myths. This vintage broadcast loop of cowboys and outlaws created a beautiful\, shared story\, but it often drifted above a much deeper\, more tangible cultural reality that has thrived here for centuries. \nIn Altar Visions of the West\, radical regionalist Arthur Lopez tunes out the static of the mythologized frontier to celebrate the enduring\, sacred craftsmanship rooted in the actual earth of the region. In this series\, the mid-century television set is reimagined as a contemporary altar. Just as traditional New Mexican altar screens have historically provided a window into the divine\, the vintage screen provided a window into a beautifully fabricated mythology. \nLopez playfully collapses the distance between the sacred and the modern by hand-carving these “television” vessels entirely from wood\, housing his figures within them.
