Schumann Violin Concerto Mahler Symphony No. 5
The NMPhil closes its monumental 15th Anniversary Season with an evening of profound emotional depth and musical brilliance, acclaimed violinist Karen Gomyo returns to perform Schumann’s rarely heard Violin Concerto, a deeply personal work rediscovered in the 20th century and celebrated for its lyrical beauty and introspective character. The program culminates in Mahler’s Symphony No. 5, a monumental journey from darkness to light. From its iconic funeral march to the transcendent Adagietto, the symphony unfolds as a sweeping and deeply moving orchestral experience. Music Director Roberto Minczuk conducts.

Welcome to Emo Night Brooklyn, a late-night, DJ-driven dance party blasting the best emo and pop punk jams that raised us, ruined us, and somehow still define us. We’re taking over Revel Backstage in Albuquerque on 16 May 2026 for a night of screaming every word, moshing with strangers, and feeling absolutely everything.
This is not a quiet night out. Expect wall-to-wall emo and pop punk anthems, deep cuts, and songs you still know by heart even if you pretend you’ve “moved on.” From the tracks that got you through your worst years to the ones that still hit a little too hard, Emo Night Brooklyn is all about losing your voice, finding your people, and reliving the music that made us who we are. And yeah sometimes special guests and your favorite artists even jump in to join the chaos.
Come ready to scream, mosh, dance, cry in the corner (no judgment), and throw yourself into the pit with all your favorite people. Tell the DJs what you want to hear and we promise we listen better than your ex. It’s loud, it’s emotional, and it’s the kind of night that reminds you it was never just a phase.
So get ready, Albuquerque. Lace up your boots, warm up your vocal cords, and meet us in the pit at Revel Backstage on 16 May 2026. Emo Night Brooklyn is calling — and yes, we need every soul.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143157/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Join pioneering death educator and author Gail Rubin, CT, for a special evening marking the launch of her new book, 98.6 Mortality Movies to See Before You Die. This unique event pairs film and conversation to explore end-of-life issues in a meaningful, accessible way.
The evening will feature a screening of the 90-minute documentary “Other Side” (2025). The film follows Lynda Bluestein, a Connecticut woman with terminal cancer, who undertook a groundbreaking legal battle to access Vermont’s Medical Aid in Dying (MAID) law as a non-resident. She opened doors for others while navigating her own end-of-life journey. The film intimately shows one family’s experience with MAID, which is legal in New Mexico and 13 other jurisdictions.
Following the film, Gail Rubin and death educator Jane Westbrook with End of Life Options New Mexico will lead a discussion on Medical Aid in Dying in New Mexico, offering insights and answering questions.
Popcorn will be served! Copies of 98.6 Mortality Movies to See Before You Die
will be available for purchase, and Gail will be signing books after the program.
