Guggenheim Fellow Nicolás Lell Benavides ’10 begins his residency at SCU with a full performance of his chamber opera, Tres Minutos.

In collaboration with 2024–26 Frank Sinatra Chair Teresa McCollough, and featuring vocalists Jessica Jacoby ’27 and Nathan Tu ’27, the work—inspired by a real program briefly reuniting immigrant families at the U.S.–Mexico border—explores the profound emotional consequences of separation.
