ProMusica Wants Your Saguaro Cactus Photos
In celebration of its 20th Anniversary season, ProMusica Arizona has commissioned and will perform the world premiere of “Saguaro Song,” an original work for chorale and orchestra. The six-movement piece was written by acclaimed Arizona composer, Craig Bohmler, well-known for Arizona Opera’s Riders of the Purple Sage, and award-winning lyricist, Marion Adler. The iconic Saguaro cactus is used as a metaphor for the seasons of life in “Saguaro Song,” which will be performed during ProMusica Arizona’s concerts on April 1 and 2.
ProMusica Arizona is inviting photographers and artists to submit high resolution photos of Saguaros or photos of artworks featuring Saguaros to be included in a slideshow that will accompany the performances. To serve as inspiration, photographers and artists can read the texts of “Saguaro Song” by going to ProMusica Arizona’s homepage at pmaz.org. ProMusica Arizona is looking for photos and artworks that depict the various movements of the piece, and proper credit will be given to photographers and artists whose works are chosen to be in the slideshow.
Send Saguaro photos or photos of Saguaro artworks to [email protected] by March 10. To learn more about ProMusica Arizona’s 20th Anniversary Celebration, go to pmaz.org.
