- **Event Name**: A Rural Requiem - Texas Stories in Music
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 17 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm
- **Event Description**: SMU Meadows, in partnership with the Corsicana Artist and Writer Residency, presents the world premiere of "A Rural Requiem" on Tuesday, February 17. Composed by Cody Criswell-Badillo, the 11-movement work honors the sounds, stories, and spirit of rural Texas.

Join us at 7:30 p.m. in the Owen Art Center’s Caruth Auditorium as the contemporary ensemble "earspace" performs under the direction of Richard Drehoff. Drawing from Texas folk traditions, Baptist hymns, corridos, and shape-note tunes, the piece unfolds as a powerful communal elegy.

Inspired by Criswell-Badillo’s time in the oilfields and his Texas, Tejano, and Indigenous Coahuiltecan heritage, the work is both a remembrance and a renewal. We hope to see you at this unforgettable premiere—admission is free and open to the public.
