Recently, the The Outpost Board decided to hold a very special intimate evening of music, food and friendship at one of our board member’s homes in High Desert on Sunday June 3 featuring a dinner catered by The Cooperage, a concert from 5:30-6:30 pm by one of Albuquerque’s most beloved R&B, Gospel, Jazz vocalists, Hillary Smith, with saxophonist, Glenn Kostur and pianist, Jim Ahrend, and of course the beautiful New Mexico sunset to close the evening! Seating is LIMITED to only 60 people, so GET YOUR TICKETS NOW before it sells out! Cost of the event is $150/person, $100 of which is a tax deductible gift to Outpost Performance Space! Come join us for a memorable evening benefiting Outpost – your home away from home!
