Schedule
A word about ticket prices, membership and sponsorship…
…for the Music Under the Stars Series. This year, you will notice that ticket prices have gone up from last year’s prices by $5. That said, if you become a member of Outpost/New Mexico Jazz Workshop, there is a member discount of $10 to each and every concert, making your cost less than last year. That discount also applies to ALL Outpost concerts year-round (approximately 80) as well as for the New Mexico Jazz Festival. While ticket sales are obviously key to the success of our presentations, just as important, if not more so, is your membership and sponsorship. Outpost and the Workshop have always been dedicated to paying musicians well, as well as compensating all the people who make these concerts happen (tech, venue, publicity, equipment rental and so on). It’s an expensive venture and your support keeps it going. So, please consider supporting the music that you treasure by becoming a member and getting those valuable discounts and/or sponsoring a concert or buying a table, etc. Contact Mia Maes at mia@nmjazz.org or info@outpostspace.org for more information and THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
