Lensic 360 has already hit the ground running.
Jamie Lenfestey, director, says being able to bring shows to all points in New Mexico is the goal.
Lensic 360 recently teamed up with the KiMo Theatre in Albuquerque to present Mary Chapin Carpenter on June 9. Tickets went on sale on Friday, March 10 at lensic360.org. Lenfestey says there will be more concerts added in the coming months at various locations across the state.
“The KiMo and the Lensic are sister theaters,” Lefenstey says. “We’re actively pursuing and looking to create the partnership between the Lensic and the KiMo. We want to create opportunities for artists to play those theaters on back-to-back nights.”
Lenfestey says Lensic 360 will continue to work with familiar venues, as well as cultivating relationships outside of Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos.
“Frankly, we want to bring music to the entire state of New Mexico,” he says. “Having the Lensic behind this effort really helps keep it at a high level.”
