November 2022 | All that is YES!

A message of gratitude from Craig Hella Johnson and Conspirare

Enjoy Songs of Our Time at Home


Now you can listen and watch “Hear Me Out,” the world premiere of new works by 15 composers performed by Conspirare and the Miró Quartet in their first collaboration. Available until January 8, 2023, the recording offers listeners a chance to revisit the two-night concert with focus. Here's what listeners said about the October 2022 premiere:

 

  • "This was an amazing experience, from the pre-concert talks to the masterful, relevant new music, to the extraordinary musicians. The collaboration with the Miró Quartet was a long time coming."
  • "I was very pleased that there were so many women composers!"
  • "I drove from Houston to see the concert and it was everything I wanted from Conspirare and more!"
  • "The best concert I've ever attended. The addition of the string quartet blew my mind . . . I was so moved by the intricacies of the performance that it brought me to tears."
Watch HEAR ME OUT now!

High School Choir Students Learn from Conspirare Singers


Conspirare singers collaborate with area middle and high school choir directors to develop and teach master classes or simply offer inspiration and support. Nearly 400 choir students will attend Conspirare Christmas, getting to see singers they met perform.


Recently, Conspirare singers were invited to sing with the Uvalde High School choir as part of the district's fall Remembrance choir concert. Several singers will return to Uvalde to perform in Conspirare Christmas.
