The Roger Melone Concert featuring guest conductor John Lidfors

The New Mexico Symphonic Chorus proudly presents The Roger Melone Concert featuring guest conductor John Lidfors.  

The program for the Roger Melone Emeritus Concert will feature Verdi's Pater Noster followed by Puccini's Messa di gloria.  Our annual fundraising gala and silent auction will follow at Artichoke Cafe.  Tickets for that event can be purchased separately for $125.

John Lidfors distinguishes himself as a conductor of uncommon versatility across the orchestral and vocal spectrum whose presence both in the US as well as in Europe is rapidly increasing. A prize winner in the Arthur Nikisch International Conducting Competition, finalist of the CSO Sir Georg Solti International Conducting Competition and winner of the 2021 German Choral Conductor's Prize, he has debuted at the Berlin Philharmonie and the Vienna Musikverein concert halls.

Doors open at 2:30.  Concert starts at 3:00pm.
