Music of Remembrance returns to San Francisco for a performance at its new Bay Area home, the Presidio Theatre. The concert features the California premiere of Tres minutos, a compelling new opera by composer Nicolas Benavides and librettist Marella Martin Koch. The May 22 Presidio Theatre program also features California premieres of works by Shinji Eshima and Sahba Aminikia.

Commissioned by MOR, Tres minutos explores the intimate human dimensions of an urgent issue for our time. It tells the story of Nila and Diego, a sister and brother who share family bonds, but not citizenship. Allowed a brief supervised reunion at the border that separates them, they wrestle with questions of identity, duty and belonging. The work is a timely reminder that beyond the arguments about immigration policy are actual people with real lives, deep emotions and complicated relationships. "Tres minutos comes at such an important time in our country," remarks composer Nicolas Benavides, "a time when we have a refugee crisis and we have the choice to make it better or make it worse." Starring soprano Vanessa Isiguen and baritone Jose Rubio in a production conceived and directed by Erich Parce and conducted by the composer.
