New Mexico performers will be on stage in the Santa Fe Opera world premiere of “This Little Light of Mine” — the story of Fannie Lou Hamer. NMBLC has your free tickets and transportation to the show!
The Santa Fe Opera and Opera for All Voices presents “This Little Light of Mine” at the Lensic. This show dramatizes the story of Fannie Lou Hamer, a former sharecropper who rose to national prominence at the 1964 Democratic National Convention. The story centers on Hamer’s appeal to the Convention’s Credentials Committee to replace Mississippi’s all-white delegation with that of the interracial Freedom Democratic Party.
Twelve New Mexico vocalists, under the direction of Dr. Stevie Springer, will be on stage participating in the world premiere of this momentous performance, including Dr. Finnie Coleman, Gene Corbin, Lowell Burton, and Toni Morgan.
The Lensic Performing Arts Center is collaborating with the New Mexico Black Leadership Council to get Albuquerque folks to “This Little Light of Mine”. We have free tickets and transportation from Albuquerque to the Lensic for the show on Saturday, October 29, 2022. Read on for more details.
