The Desert Chorale Schedule: Visitors, this is realtime and romantic NM
OK, the schedule would not copy. www.desertchorale.com
Now few people really know about the desert chorale and their25th Anniversary!
Of course those people who watch for such treats, people who are in choirs, love exquisite vocals, and adore classical and local traditional music: they know.
But many others have never ventured into their sacred spaces: created both by their professional and inspiring singing, and the chapels and churches that they perform in. Loretto Chapel has had movies made about it, it’s small, old, and ehoes with centuries of traditional and a history of choral blessings. Combine the two, and you have a real taste of Santa Fe.
Archeiturally each location is very different and celebrates the diversity rooted deep in New Mexico culture. Performances are also held in Albuquerque. Go to the site and peruse. Don’t stand outside wishing to know more about New Mexico, buy that ticket, and invited and taste what so many here relish, or some take for granted: our gifts of inspiration and becoming enchanted. WARNING: Visitors to such events may fall in love with NM and decide to move here. Let your heart fill with beauty and wonder. Welcome to NM.
