Bohuslav Rattay, Conductor
Prokofiev Symphony No. 7. C-sharp minor, Op. 131
Beethoven Symphony No. 7, A major, Op. 92

Come sing with us! Sacred Harp singing, also known as Shape Note singing, is a 4-part a capella singing style that dates back to pre-revolutionary America. It is participatory--everyone sits in a square and does their best to sing. Every 2 years the Las Cruces Shape Note Singers host a 2-day convention, Saturday February 28 and Sunday March 1. This year we expect 60 singers, both local and from around the country. The sound should be glorious! New singers welcome, no musical training required. The convention is family friendly, and has no political or religious affiliation. Dinner on the grounds. All are welcome!

This month’s program is full of pieces by Bach, Vaughan Williams, and Dvořák, with a special performance of Albinoni’s Oboe Concerto in D minor. Frequent symphony goers will know Graham as a long-time member of the symphony’s oboe section—she has performed for 26 seasons and currently serves as co-principal oboe.

Rehearsals begin for the Mesilla Valley Chorale's Spring concert, "I Hear America Singing." The first rehearsal will begin at 6:30 for registration and music distribution. All others begin at 7:00. Use the choir room entrance on Alameda. Interested singers should visit the Chorale's website at www. mesillavalleychorale.org..

Internationally acclaimed Alt Prog band Little King returns to the Southwest with special guests Shalem, Burning Sunday, and Invictus.

Here is the official press release:

Little King is hitting the road, bringing three decades of songwriting, storytelling, and sonic exploration to the stage. Formed in 1997, the band’s current tour draws from a deep catalog spanning 8 albums and over 30 years of music, blending thoughtful lyrics, dynamic arrangements, and an unmistakable emotional core that has resonated with audiences across generations.

Released on 9/26/25, their most recent album, Lente Viviente, has become their most critically acclaimed work in their long history! Rooted in the American Southwest yet shaped by wide-ranging influences, Little King’s sound reflects long friendships, lived experience, and a refusal to stand still creatively. Their songs move comfortably between intimate reflection and expansive, cinematic moments—music built not for trends, but for connection.

Over the years, Little King has earned international acclaim, with music reaching listeners well beyond regional borders. Their work has been praised for its honesty, depth, and craftsmanship, appealing to fans of art-driven rock who value substance as much as sound.The band’s full catalog, tour updates, and additional information can be found at www.littlekingtunes.com Or on social media @littlekingtunes.

Alash - Tuvan Throat Singers
World Music

PLEASE NOTE: This Show is Scheduled at a Time we are Normally Closed.
LIMITED FIRST COME SEATING/ Standing Show

ALASH, Named Distinguished Artist of Tuva, are masters of Tuvan Throat Singing, a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this group from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music. One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit remain decidedly Tuvan.
Trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, they formed a traditional ensemble and won multiple awards for traditional throat singing, both as an ensemble and as individuals. They have borrowed newi deas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional
Tuvan music, but they have never sacrificed the integrity of their own heritage in an effort to make their music more hip.

All proceeds go to paying the Performers and Supporting Live Music.
