Air Date Saturday March 30 at 4pm on 5.1

GEOGRE NAKASHIMA

Known as one who “delights in beauty,” one of George Nakashima’s most accomplished works, the Monastery of Christ in the Desert, resides in a remote canyon in New Mexico.

“It’s almost like the canyon itself is sacred. He must have seen those cliffs and the scree at the base and he was probably inspired by that and the bell tower reflects those shapes almost literally.”

HARLEM QUARTET

The renowned Harlem Quartet steps outside the concert hall to lead a master class at Albuquerque’s Highland High School.

“I communicate and socialize with other people through music.”

“When you are with a bunch of people that also love music, you can create something beautiful.”

“I love working with students because, now that I’m a little bit older, I recognize that they really are the future.”

VAN ANN MOORE

Van Ann Moore shares the history of amazing women from New Mexico’s territorial period.

“They give me the perspective that no matter where you go in life, no matter how different another culture is, or another country or people, you find out who they are, talk to them, get to know them.”
