We hope you will join us! Stay well, ABQ. Namaste.🌸

Robert Mirabal has been described as a Native American “Renaissance man." It is a fitting description for this musician, composer, painter, master craftsman, poet, actor, screenwriter, author, horseman, and farmer. But in Mirabal’s case, the whole is much greater than the sum of its parts.

​An accomplished, renowned Native American flute player and maker from Taos Pueblo in New Mexico, Robert’s flutes have been displayed at the Smithsonian Institute’s Museum of the American Indian. An award-winning musician, Mirabal performs worldwide, sharing flute songs, tribal rock, dance, and storytelling. Mirabal is a two-time Grammy Award winner, has twice been named the Native American Music Award’s Artist of the Year, and has received the Songwriter of the Year award three times. He is also an Album of the Year recipent from Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. His breakthrough PBS musical production, Music From a Painted Cave, remains a benchmark of Native American traditional/rock fusion and storytelling.

The Big Sing: 3:00–5:00 PM
Ever belt out your favorite song in the car and think, “I wish I could do this with other people,”? Here’s your chance! Special guest Moira Smiley, a GRAMMY®-nominated singer, composer, and educator, will lead us through an afternoon of music-making that’s as fun as it is freeing.Think of this event as a musical gathering place where everyone is welcome and no preparation is required. Moira will guide you through simple vocal warmups that feel like games, folk songs that’ll get stuck in your head (in the best way), and gorgeous harmonies that you’ll help create. With a string quartet of New Mexico musicians adding their magic to the mix, you’ll be amazed at the sound we can all create.
All ages, all levels, all voices are welcome. That includes yours! Minors must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Seating will be available for all, with occasional invitations to stand as songs come together.

Join us for our biggest community singing event yet!

Moira Smiley & Quartet in Concert: The Rhizome Project
7:00 PM
Moira returns to the stage with four of the finest local string players for a one-night-only performance of “chamber-folk” music, featuring songs from her latest album The Rhizome Project.

“The Rhizome Project celebrates all the powerful ways we are connected, though, like the rhizome roots, those connections may be hidden or forgotten.” – Moira Smiley

Whether you prefer classical chamber music or indie folk tunes, whether you prefer to sit back and enjoy listening or join in the musical fun, this concert is for you!
