New Enhanced Outpost Member Benefits!

The Outpost / New Mexico Jazz Workshop merger went into effect in January 2026 and we are now able to offer new and enhanced member benefits! Current members of either organization remain members until their membership expires and their benefits automatically encompass those offered by both organizations ($10 Member Discounts to shows, free passes to the Summer Music Under the Stars Series at the Albuquerque Museum, class enrollment discounts, seasonal Newsletters and Member Update mailers, and more)! When renewing a membership, please note the new membership categories and their accompanying benefits. 

If you are not a member or are due to renew your membership, CLICK HERE to become an Outpost/NMJW Member today and start enjoying your new benefits! 

$15 Student Ticket Prices to most shows will remain in place!
