Now in its 9th year, the Poetry & Music Project connects student poets and their words with composers to create original music and explore the connections between poetry and music. For the 25/26 Project, Opera Omaha received 87 poem submissions from students across Nebraska inspired by the theme of memory. Poets ranged from second graders to high school seniors, including first time poets and seasoned writers. Project composers Sidney Marquez Boquiren and James Schroeder selected 14 poems that inspired them to create original music with the poems as the lyrics.
