Trio Carillo takes the Old Town Gazebo stage for an open-air evening set in one of Albuquerque's most recognizable outdoor spaces. The gazebo's plaza acoustics are naturally lively, so arrive early if you want a spot close enough to hear the detail in the playing rather than just the wash of it. Admission details aren't...
Nathaniel Krantz brings his violin to the Old Town Gazebo, an outdoor performance space that puts the performer squarely in the middle of one of Albuquerque's most atmospheric public plazas. The gazebo setting means sound carries differently than a stage, so closer is better here, and the surrounding adobe architecture tends to make an evening...
Orrin Evans is a Philadelphia pianist with serious credentials, a long run with the Keystone Collective, and enough recorded output to make clear he treats the piano trio format as an ongoing argument rather than a formula.

This is the 35th year of Music Under the Stars, which means the production is well-rehearsed, the lawn fills up early, and...
Chatter brings its stripped-down, no-applause-between-movements approach to the Albuquerque Museum courtyard, one of the better acoustic environments on this stretch of Central. The crowd here tends to be genuinely attentive...
Calle 66 takes the outdoor stage for the Friday salsa night in the Albuquerque Museum's long-running Music Under the Stars series, now in its 35th year.
