The Cathedral of St. John, Albuquerque, NM
Henry Mollicone’s Beatitude Mass: For the Homeless
Mollicone writes, “The idea for composing Beatitude Mass evolved from a discussion with a friend, Fr. John Pedigo. This piece incorporates words from the Latin Mass Ordinary juxtaposed with English words by William Luce. The new texts are drawn from interviews that he and I conducted with people living in homeless shelters.”
Experience this meaningful concert while making a difference in your community. At the heart of this performance is Beatitude Mass: For the Homeless by Henry Mollicone. Featuring soloists soprano Jennifer Perez and baritone Edmund Connolly, a chamber orchestra, and the Cathedral Choirs of St. John, the concert will come together under the direction of the Cathedral’s Director of Music, Canon Dr. Maxine Thévenot.
Church Unbound is a collaborative effort by Episcopal churches offering spiritual support, refreshments, and a church service to people living on the streets, meeting every Sunday at 1:30 PM at the corner of Central and Charleston Street in Albuquerque.
A portion of all proceeds garnered from this performance of Beatitude Mass will be used to assist CHURCH UNBOUND, an outreach organization through the Diocese of the Rio Grande that supports people in need.

Majestic Voices
Sunday, May 10, 2026, at 1:30 PM
Join us for an afternoon of rich Romantic color, featuring Schumann’s spirited showcase for four horns and the elegant grandeur of Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony—two works that highlight the expressive range and warmth of the orchestra.
Konzertstück for Four Horns and Orchestra in F major, Op. 86
Robert Schumann
featuring the SFCO horn section
Schumann's Konzertstück for four horns and orchestra is a dazzling showcase of Romantic imagination and brass virtuosity. Composed in 1849, the piece highlights the horn's expressive range, from heroic calls to lyrical exchanges. The solo quartet engages in lively dialogue, supported by Schumann's lush orchestration that evokes both the natural world and the inner landscape of emotion. Performed by the Santa Fe Community Orchestra's horn section, this rarely heard gem is sure to leave a lasting impression.
Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 78, "Organ Symphony"
Camille Saint-Saëns
Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3 in C minor, the celebrated “Organ Symphony,” is a masterpiece of grandeur, color, and innovation. From its opening measures, the work captivates with sweeping orchestral writing, shimmering textures, and the subtle yet profound presence of the organ. The music moves from intimate, mysterious passages to bold, radiant climaxes, culminating in the awe-inspiring finale where the organ joins the full orchestra in a resplendent celebration of sound. The symphony’s blend of elegance, power, and emotional depth leaves a lasting impression long after the final chord fades.

Polyphony: Voices of New Mexico celebrates International Women’s Day
Sunday, March 8, 2026 | 3:00 PM
The Cathedral of St. John, Albuquerque, NM
Thanks to a massive protest in Russia since 1917, we now celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th each year. A lot of noteworthy music has been written to help mark this occasion, especially music by women. In this day and age, where the erasure of women's rights is a real and imminent threat, I feel that it is all the more important to gather, sing, and empower.
The program will center around Sarah Quartel's 'She Sang the Stars' and will also include music sung in several languages by Mari Esabel Valverde, J. Reese Norris, Ethan Sperry, B. E. Boykin, Jim Papoulis, and Lady Gaga.
Keyboard with the New Mexico Philharmonic Orchestra
Alejandro Gómez Guillén conductor

Montgomery Strum
Mussorgsky (arr. Ravel) Pictures at an Exhibition
Join the NMPhil and guest conductor Alejandro Gómez Guillén for a vibrant evening of music that moves both body and soul. Saxophonist Christopher Creviston takes center stage in two works for saxophone and orchestra. The program begins with Weber’s dramatic Overture to Der Freischütz, a cornerstone of Romanticism, and continues with the serene beauty of Kevin Scott Tucker’s Portrait of a Peaceful Scene and Jessie Montgomery’s energetic, string-driven favorite Strum. The evening culminates with Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition in the brilliant orchestration by Ravel—a vivid musical gallery that brings paintings to life through bold orchestral color and unforgettable themes.

Opera Southwest presents: The New Mexico Symphonic Chorus
Mozart – Mass in C Minor, K. 427
Symphony No. 40 in G Minor, K. 550
Two pillars of Mozart’s mature style: one sacred, one symphonic.
Modeled on the grandeur of Bach’s Mass in B Minor and the Salzburg ceremonial tradition, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor blends contrapuntal rigor with operatic brilliance. Though unfinished, it stands among the most exalted sacred works of the Classical era. Paired with the storm-lit urgency of the G Minor Symphony, this program reveals the expressive breadth of Mozart’s late style.
Featuring soloists Lindsay Ohse, Amanda Crider, Bernard Holcomb, and Javier Ortiz.
