The Figueroa Music and Arts Project Opens Its Second Season

Fri. 9/28 10a:   Spencer Beckwith talks with Guillermo Figueroa about the season opening concert of his Figueroa Music and Arts Project.   "Musical Transformation and Re-invention," October 6 and 7 at the Kimo Theater in Albuquerque, looks at how dance music from the European Renaissance and early 20th Century Brazil was reinterpreted by Ottorino Respighi, Darius Milhaud and Richard Strauss. 

Spencer Beckwith reports on the arts for KUNM. For ten years, until March of 2014, Spencer was the producer and host of KUNM's "Performance New Mexico," a weekday morning arts program that included interviews with musicians, writers and performers. Spencer is a graduate of the acting program at the Juilliard School, and, before moving to New Mexico in 2002, was for many years a professional actor based in New York City.
