An unforgettable evening beneath the vast dark skies of the Southwest is coming back.

After an extraordinary response from last year’s performances, Symphony Chaco – Chamber Concert: A Journey of the Spirit returns on Saturday, August 29, 2026, 7PM for another immersive night of music, landscape, culture, and soul-stirring artistry.

Set against the mystical beauty of the high desert and inspired by the timeless spirit of Chaco Canyon and the ancient Southwest, this intimate chamber performance brings together world-class musicians in a truly one-of-a-kind setting.

Featuring:

•  R. Carlos Nakai — Grammy®-nominated Native flutist whose music has touched audiences around the world
•  Christina Martos — acclaimed soprano with a powerful and moving voice
•  Garry Gackstatter — conductor and musical visionary guiding the evening’s journey

Expect an atmosphere unlike any traditional concert hall — where music meets the land, the stars, and the spirit of the ancient desert.

This special event has very limited seating and is expected to sell out. Guests who attended previous performances described it as deeply moving, intimate, cinematic, and transformative.

 Come experience an evening of:

• soaring chamber music
• Native flute under the stars
• breathtaking desert ambiance
• spiritual connection through sound and place
• a magical gathering in one of the most unique landscapes in the American Southwest

Whether you are a lover of classical music, Native flute, dark skies, or meaningful cultural experiences, Symphony Chaco promises a night you will remember long after the final note fades into the desert night.
