Irvin Trujillo, Justin Hayward, Mark Morris, Yo-Yo Ma

Seventh generation Chimayó, New Mexico, weaver Irvin Trujillo shares his vision.

“I really feel that in my career as a weaver, I was entrusted with the tradition to put our culture into the new millennium.”

Musician Justin Hayward, from the iconic band The Moody Blues, shares how music and songwriting is a mystery.

“For me it’s 5% inspiration, 95% perspiration.”

Choreographer Mark Morris achieved international fame with his landmark work “L’Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato.” In this work, dancers embody the joy and sorrow that are part of the human experience.

“I think the beauty of the piece and the music is that we all can relate to it.”

Renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma describes musicians and composers as “storytellers.”

“I can’t just tell someone else’s story. I have to make it my own.”
