Small combos make a big impression
on students across Northern New Mexico
Our Chamber Ensembles are introducing great music for small ensembles to students in towns and cities throughout Northern New Mexico. Performing works not heard at our Kids Classical Concerts, these programs showcase individual musicians in intimate settings performing music for just a handful of players.
A good thing is only getting better.

is expanding by leaps and bounds!
In addition to performances at nine Santa Fe elementary schools, youngsters from a growing number of Northern New Mexico towns and Pueblos are now able to enjoy an hour of music, education, and fun! To get your school on the schedule, contact Callie Kent at
