2026-2027 Concert Season

Forty years of singing. One unforgettable season ahead.

Four decades ago, a handful of singers decided Albuquerque needed more music in its life. Now we're marking that anniversary with an all-star season including 4 concerts and 2 community singing events.

We’re thrilled to present:

  • Just a Number

  • Messiah Sing

  • Sing, My Child

  • Unfashioned Creature

  • The Lost Birds: A Mini Festival

  • Pop Tarts 3: The Reckoning

Join us for a single concert—or become a season ticket holder and secure your seat at all four. Season tickets go on sale September 1, 2026.
