Four graduate vocal performance students in the UNM Music Department have been invited to perform with the Santa Fe Opera. Mia Flora, Marshal Hollingsworth, Garrett Medlock, and Julianne Wolfe will sing in the chorus for the world premiere of This Little Light of Mine, an opera which tells the story of 20th century political activist Fannie Lou Hamer.
