MUSICKE - doth not onely make
sweete the mindes of men, but also
many times wilde beasts tame; and
whoso savoureth it not, a man may
assuredly thinke him to be not well in
his wits.
Baldassare Castiglione - 1478 - 1529
OUR MISSION
The Rio Grande Symphonic Band is dedicated to the
education and enrichment of the artistic lives of the
greater Albuquerque area and surrounding communities,
and seeks to provide an extracurricular venue for musicians
of all ages and calibers to mix and learn and grow.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to expand our performance sphere by
providing a venue that includes youth and travel to
underserved communities, an outlet for local composers
and their works, and the historical restoration and
preservation of out-of-print and lost works of music.
