AMOC & LA Opera present: Gallup


Filmmaker Blackhorse Lowe's new Digital Short features music by Matthew Aucoin and poetry by Jake Skeets. A Navajo artist (like Lowe) who grew up in Gallup, Skeets gives his hometown a leading role in his poetry. Lowe's film is an unflinching yet tender portrait of the city in 2021, seen through the eyes of the supernatural.

This Digital Short will be released on Friday, May 28, at 11am

Musicians from AMOC (American Modern Opera Company): Emi Ferguson (bass flute/flute/piccolo); Miranda Cuckso (violin); Coleman Itzkoff (cello); Jonny Allen (percussion); Conor Hanick (piano)

This project is generously supported by a consortium of donors to LA Opera's Contemporary Opera Initiative, chaired by Nancy and Barry Sanders, and by a special gift from Dr. Stephen Erhart.

Co-produced by AMOC (American Modern Opera Company)
