2 Best Performing Arts in Taos, New Mexico

This first-rate nightly series of classical (and occasional jazz) concerts is presented at venues around Angel Fire and Taos for about three weeks from mid-August to early September. Tickets cost about $25–$30 per concert, and the festival—begun in 1983—continues to grow in popularity and esteem each year.

From mid-June to early August the Taos School of Music fills the evenings with the sounds of chamber music at the Taos School of Music Program and Festival. Running strong since 1963, this is America's oldest chamber music summer program and possibly the largest assembly of top string quartets in the country. Concerts are presented a couple of times a week from mid-June through early August, at the Taos Community Auditorium and at Hotel St. Bernard at Taos Ski Valley. Tickets cost $25. The events at Taos Ski Valley are free.
