You won't want to miss this opportunity, coming up on May 17th!

Lone Piñon is a renowned New Mexican string band, or orquesta típica, celebrating the New Mexico's musical roots through historically informed performance practice. With fiddles, upright bass, guitars, accordions, vihuela, and bilingual vocals, they play a wide spectrum of the traditional music that is at home in New Mexico.

Children, families, and fans will experience the development of New Mexico's traditional music across time in a program that answers the question: What did New Mexico sound like?

In August 2018 Lone Piñon was invited by the Library of Congress and the American Folklife Center to Washington DC, where they recorded a concert and an oral history of their work with New Mexican and Mexican musical traditions. In 2019 they taught and performed alongside traditional masters from across North America and Europe at Centrum’s Festival of American Fiddle Tunes in Port Townsend, WA. A documentary film about their work premiered in 2019, winning several awards at film festivals in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. In 2019 the band received the Parsons Award from the American Folklife Center, bringing them back to the Library of Congress in 2020 to study its collection of field recordings of Northern New Mexican musicians to record another program of music revived from the Juan B. Rael archive.
