CORRALES POET WINS CONTEST

Corrales poet Janet Ruth has won the inaugural True Concord Poetry Contest held by True Concord Voices and Orchestra of Tucson. Ruth鈥檚 winning sonnet is titled 鈥淎 World That Shimmers.鈥� The True Concord competition sought a new poem about 鈥渕usic鈥檚 ability to bridge our differences and create harmony with one another.鈥�

Here are the first four lines of Ruth鈥檚 poem: 鈥淓ven today this Earth of loss and pain/still sings the regal music of the spheres./Her children join together, raise refrains/in harmonies that stand against our fears.鈥�

Ruth鈥檚 poem was set to music 鈥� an original piece composed by Nicholas Ryan Kelly that the True Concord ensemble performed. Kelly鈥檚 composition was the winner of True Concord鈥檚 2023 Emerging Composers鈥� Competition.

鈥淚 am incredibly honored to have been selected for this,鈥� Ruth wrote in an email.
