After the success of last year's Power Concerts, we are back for a new season of illuminating, affordable, family-friendly concerts! The NMPhil Power Concert series is geared toward introducing young audience members and their families to classical music, the orchestra, and the instruments that make it all possible. We close out the Power Concert series with a celebration of the symphonic tradition in all its glory! Germany and Austria were the cultural hotspots of the day and the birthplace of Western classical music as we know it, and today, we honor some masters. The orchestra and its power and beauty will be on full display in a veritable cornucopia of works by Bach, Mozart, Brahms, and Johann Strauss.

The New Mexico Philharmonic’s Power Concerts series is back for another season of illuminating, affordable, family-friendly concerts! This series is geared toward introducing young audience members and their families to classical music, the orchestra, and the instruments that make it all possible. Our first Power Concert of the season starts off with a bang! Our brass and percussion sections steal the show in the Power Concerts’ signature tune, the opening to Richard Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra. Then, the magic of Bruckner meets the magic of the movies when we pair movements of Bruckner’s Symphony No. 4 with two of John Williams’s classics, the “Flying Theme” from E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and “Darth Vader’s Theme” from Star Wars. Music Director Roberto Minczuk conducts.
