Yes, NM Jazz Festival, and Santa Fe Chamber Music, and Opera and there’s still MORE!
Recently I have been focusing on some of the great LOCAL NM Music events. These are grand performances in both ALBUQUERQUE and Santa Fe. If you miss them, you’ll have to wait for another year. Summer is time to celebrate all the talent that visits our fine state. Certainly the local musicians will be active in the clubs, hotels: wherever an occassion calls. Buy their CD’s often for after the summer gigs might be harder to get. CD sales could help carry several musicans through. Also encourage your favorites to You Tube, as the world needs to hear their creativity.
The Santa Fe Chamber music series is incredible for it gives us a wider horizon of what can be done by some of the world’s top musicians. Their insight and exquiste permformances can truly be transformational.
Until a few years ago, I only intellectually understood the prfound beauty of Opera. Then I discovered Tuesday Night at the Opera on KSFR. The drama and stories may seem exaggerated and a bit much…however the depth of vocal expression and the profound embodiment of character can mesmerize all who want to experience music with their whole body. The music is fast and inviting, and please come to Santa Fe to listen under our expansive night sky.
As I was talking with a friend, about the above, shse questioned what else is going on? So here’s a few answers: go to cityscapes.com/albuquerque.
from another ad in the Ailbi: rember there’s big names at the CASINOS!. Sandia has some of these concerts coming up: August 5th HEART 8:30 PM. August 7th Hootie and the Blowfish,

On 8/10-812 There will be 75 PLUS bands at the Santa Fe MUSIKFEST. Local bands, and not so local plus a wide range of venue. How do I tell my friend about all the choices.
