There Must Be Other Names for the River - National Hispanic Cultural Center. 2019.

Presented by 516 ARTS, National Hispanic Cultural Center, and University of New Mexico Art & Ecology.

A score for six singers with mics, loop stations, effects pedals, and amplification. Or to be performed a cappella next to the river.

Six singers embody the Rio Grande physically and spatially, singing a score based on historic river flow data through present day and projecting possible futures. Scrutinizing human decisions that dry the river for miles at a time in recent years, we communicate directly our trajectory with this lifeline of water in the desert. This piece is based on 1974-2017 streamflow data from the river known today as the Rio Grande. The colors for each individual score—which are performed simultaneously—were chosen based on the hues in the region.

Featuring: Monica Demarco, Ryan Dennison, Kenneth Cornell, Marya Errin Jones, Antonia Montoya, Mauro Woody

Composed by: Marisa Demarco, Dylan McLaughlin, Jessica Zeglin
