Join us for a spectacular weekend of music and community at the Creede Musical Arts Collective's first festival weekend, from July 26th to 28th, 2024!

Prepare to be enchanted by the soul-stirring melodies of Santa Fe's acclaimed Mariachi Differencia, an eight-piece traditional ensemble that will transport you to the heart of Latin America with their vibrant rhythms and rich harmonies.

Back by popular demand, the CMAC all-stars Duo Zuber, featuring the dynamic duo of Pat on flute and Greg on marimba, will take you on a musical journey spanning classical to new age compositions and arrangements, showcasing their unparalleled virtuosity and artistry.

Experience the captivating vocal prowess of tenor Dane Suarez, known for his captivating performances (also featured early in the week in On the Stage of Sondheim, our co-production with Creede Repertory Theatre). From soaring Spanish art songs to powerful classic operatic arias and many styles in between, Suarez's voice will resonate with emotion and grace, leaving you spellbound.

Our festival weekend offers three unique mainstage concerts, along with surprise pop-up concerts and educational interactive events for the whole family to enjoy. Whether you're a music aficionado or simply looking for a weekend of cultural enrichment, there's something for everyone at the Creede Musical Arts Collective's First Festival Weekend.
