Introducing our 2
38th Season
Tickets go on sale May 17.
Welcome to the 38th season of Music in Corrales. Our mission is to enrich our community with great music, and this season we will bring you artists in a wide range of genres to delight and inspire you, and expand your musical horizons.
We kick off the season with a concert in La Entrada Park (weather permitting) featuring the Argentinian Alejandro Brittes Trio, one of the preeminent players of chamame, a South American traditional folk style. In October our concert series will travel to the Community Barn in Los Ranchos for a rollicking, rousing concert with singer-songwriter Rooster Blackspur. We return to our home venue, the Historic Old San Ysidro Church in Corrales, in November for an evening of joyful acoustic Americana with Bettman & Halpin. In December we host Cuban jazz pianist and composer Aldo López-Gavilán on a special Wednesday evening concert.
In response to feedback in our recent audience survey, we have scheduled the January and February concerts on Sunday afternoons at 3:00pm in the Old Church. First, three world-class virtuoso soloists performing as the New York Brass Arts Trio will thrill you with their insightful and sensitive musicality. In February, Cuban-American cellist Tommy Mesa brings his charismatic and energetic style to our series. Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Celtic harpist Máire Ní Chathasaigh and acoustic guitarist Chris Newman return to Music in Corrales. And in April, French guitarist Gaëlle Solal will give two performances in the Old Church – one on Saturday evening at 7:30pm and the other on Sunday afternoon at 3:00pm.
Come join your friends and neighbors for a season that will lift your heart and enrich your spirit through the power of music!
Musical Mission
The all-volunteer Corrales Cultural Arts Council (CCAC) created the Music in Corrales series in 1986 as a musical offering to the Corrales community. The series was conceived as a way of preserving New Mexico’s vast musical and cultural heritage, and a way to create a new one as well. What was started by a few dedicated persons who recognized the importance of music to people’s lives, has grown to an organization that brings exceptional musicians to the Historic Old San Ysidro Church where the audience is no longer just neighbors. Local residents and guests from the middle Rio Grande Valley share the evening with visitors from other states and further abroad.
The hope of the CCAC has been that everyone could enjoy a sampling of the world’s finest musical performances in a stunning New Mexican location at affordable prices. Still an all-volunteer group of involved members, we are pleased to see that dream continuing to grow and flourish in such a wonderful way.
Music in Schools
Corrales Cultural Arts Council (CCAC ) recognizes that each child is an individual; that all children are creative; that all children need to succeed. We are committed to fostering a sense of community as well as offering the highest level of musical performance and instruction. Our hope is to provide students of all ages with the skills they need to enjoy music for a lifetime. Read more…
