Season 40 is Coming!
We open the season in September with a concert in La Entrada Park (weather permitting) featuring Albuquerque’s favorite salsa band, Son Como Son. (Bring your dancing shoes!) In October we welcome singer-songwriter Louie Lou Louis at the Old San Ysidro Church. In November our series moves to the Cibola High School Performing Arts Center for a solo recital by world-renowned violinist Rachel Barton Pine. And we close out 2026 back at the Old Church with the virtuoso saxophone players of the Kenari Quartet.
In January classical pianist Natasha Paremski will astound you with her flawless technique and dynamic interpretations of classical piano works. Jazz pianist Connie Han follows in February to take you to the opposite end of the piano repertoire. In March we host Goitse, one of Ireland’s most celebrated traditional ensembles with their signature blend of original compositions and timeless traditional tunes. And we complete the season in April with two concerts by Paraguayan classical guitarist Berta Rojas.
Season Tickets go on sale starting mid-May!
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…
