Nomad Ensemble presents The Long Breath, a chamber music program that highlights the expressive power of sustained musical lines, close ensemble listening, and the emotional depth of acoustic performance. Built around the intimacy of strings and chamber collaboration, the concert invites audiences into a reflective musical experience shaped by resonance, movement, and the quiet intensity of shared sound.
The program presents pieces for flute, violin, viola, and piano in various groupings throughout the evening. This 'modular' ensemble concept permits programming works for instrumental combinations that do not have large independent repertoires and so tend to be marginalized through no fault of their prodigious creative and expressive merit. Among the truly engaging pieces here are three fantastic works by women–Mel Bonis, Tatiana Nikolayeva, and Ester Mägi.

The Las Cruces Really Really Free Market is back, hosted by a group of local volunteers who believe in mutual aid, community care, and resource sharing.
This isn’t a sale or a swap — it’s a free community event where anyone can give or take items like clothes, books, household goods, toys, and more. There’s no money, no bartering — just people helping each other out.
Join us the first Saturday of every month from 10am - 2pm at 1701 Missouri Ave (Peace Lutheran Church).
We do this because we believe our community already has enough — enough resources, enough support — if we just find ways to share it.
If you’d like to get involved, donate, or have questions, email us at lascrucesrrfm@proton.me
