NM Association of Concert Bands Consortium

NM Association of Concert Bands Consortium Calling all musicians! Are you ready for some music? We are looking forward to sharing a fun week of music and camaraderie with all of you. Francis of Assisi.

You are invited to the Land of
Enchantment for the 2022 Association of Concert Bands annual convention in Santa Fe, New Mexico, May 3-8. This project is supported in part by New Mexico Arts, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs, and by the National Endowment for the Arts. This year, three bands will be hosting the convention, the Albuquerque Concert Band, The Los Alamos Community Winds

, and the Santa Fe Concert Band. The convention theme is “Music for Life”. It is an appropriate theme for these times because during the pandemic, music has lifted up people all over the world-people who have done everything from playing instruments on rooftops to listening to tunes with their families while face-timing on the computer. Music has helped to sooth some of the pain that so many have felt since the pandemic began. And now, at the 2022 convention, musicians from all over the country will gather to celebrate music and life, and console with our fellow musicians who have lost a loved one. The convention will be at the beautiful Santa Fe Hilton. The Hilton is an historic landmark and one of the final building designs completed by world-famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Hilton is located in the heart of Santa Fe, four blocks from the historic plaza, near the Palace of the Governors and The Cathedral Basilica of St.

José González is in a class by himself. Hailed by Rolling Stone as “someone whose subtle, carefully crafted music delivers rewards to listeners who know how to wait,” González’s stellar career can only be described as a dream.

Our second excursion will take us north from Santa Fe through the Nambe valley and dramatic sandstone cliffs to Chimayo, a Spanish American town at the base of the mountains that dates to the early 1700s. Your guide will share information and stories about the landscape and natural and cultural history of this rich region as we travel.
No trip to Chimayo is complete without visiting the famous Santuario de Chimayo, a beautiful adobe church that is a significant Catholic Pilgrimage site known for its miraculous healing dirt. Good Friday finds hundreds of people who journey from different areas of the state, on foot, to visit this Holy place. For those who like to cook, there is an excellent shop for buying New Mexico chile powder, an essential component of New Mexican cuisine.
We’ll also visit a highly acclaimed Spanish weaving studio that houses the work of numerous local artists and is a colorful feast for the eyes!

Chimayo Excursion Information
Lunch is at the Rancho de Chimayo, a former Spanish family
home or hacienda that has been the hub of this community since
1965. Authentic New Mexican food and drink will delight your senses.

Don't forget about our excursions while you're in town!

The first excursion we are offering is to Bandelier National Monument. Nearly everyone has heard of the Anasazi, a name
once used to describe the ancestors of today’s Pueblo Indians. The Anasazi left many interesting village sites scattered across the Southwest in such places as Mesa Verde, Chaco Canyon, Canyon de
Chelley and, of course, Bandelier!

This trip will offer our guests a voyage into the past and the fascinating world of the Ancestral Puebloan people. As we travel north from Santa Fe, your guide will introduce you to the geography and people of New Mexico. As we travel across the Rio Grande valley and travel up into the Jemez Mountains, you will see an unusual volcanic mountain range, a range that is home to the Valles Caldera National Preserve.

We will make a stop at a spectacular overlook for our guests to
take in the beauty of the surrounding area! After that we will then proceed to Bandelier National Monument, a 34,000-acre park managed by the National Park Service at the heart of what was one of the largest population centers for the Pueblo people. Once at Bandelier, your guide will lead a walk through what was once a thriving community. You’ll see the amazing cliff dwellings up close, the remains of a large village with its ceremonial structures, and rock art drawings, all beside a lovely creek running through large trees below sculpted volcanic ash cliffs. For the adventurous, there are ladders to explore the cliff dwellings.
