Outreach to Our Community
During our 34th year, and despite year-long
pandemic restrictions, the Placitas Artists Series
(PAS) Outreach Program continued to provide
students in all grades with free tickets to view the
season’s virtual concerts. And now, in our 35th
season, we anticipate the continuation of our
Music in the Schools outreach programs to the
students, leaders, and other adults of Southern
Sandoval County with a wide variety of
performances including music, theatre, and
dance. The mission of Outreach is to expand
children’s awareness of the greater world
community. read more

Music Students
PAS focuses on encouraging young people to
experience the excitement of live performance.
We offer reduced admission for students above grade
12 who attend our concerts. Students in grades
K-12 are admitted free of charge when accompanied
by a paying adult. Introduce a youngster you know to
the joys of being “right there” when music is played.
Senior Citizen Tickets
PAS offers a limited number of free concert tickets
through Senior/Community Centers in Sandoval
County where they are distributed by program
managers.
Just for Fun!
Each year volunteers and board members of PAS
decorate a float to ride, and assemble its “Kazoo
Philharmonic” to play in the Placitas 4th of July
parade. This event fosters and builds community
spirit and it’s also Just For Fun!

The relationship with the schools begins with the PAS Outreach
Coordinator contacting school administrators, sharing information about
available programs, informing them that the performance costs are shared
between PAS and the schools, and inviting their schools and others to
participate. Schools can choose any of our endorsed programs or suggest
one of their own.
All performances focus on the interaction between the artists and the
students. Many schools and others have said that they could not afford
such high quality programming were it not for the help in program
coordination and cost sharing provided by PAS.
