The Sky City Buffalo Ram Dancers (Acoma) will be dancing.

Celebrate the seasonal cycles through prayer, song, and dance with our Cultural Dance Program. Dances connect us to our ancestors, community, and traditions while honoring gifts from our Creator.

They ensure that life continues and connections to the past and future are reinforced. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center is the only place in North America to offer cultural Native American dances every week, year-round.

Mozart Serenade No. 10, “Gran Partita”
Brass Work TBD

Among his most beloved works, Mozart’s “Gran Partita” is a cornerstone of works written primarily for woodwinds and brass. Aside from its high standing with audiences, the work is also notable for featuring the basset horn, a member of the clarinet family but pitched a perfect fourth lower than a clarinet, which was a favorite instrument of Mozart’s. Felix Mendelssohn and Richard Strauss would later foster a brief revival for this rare instrument. The Brass will bring festive sounds just in time for the holidays.

Includes Coffee and Donuts!
