About ALMA
Founded in 1999, we are a grassroots organization comprised of music lovers committed to creating easy access for the local community as well as visitors to quality, diverse, and exciting live music performances.
ALMA is supported by paying members as well as financial and inkind donations from our generous and committed corporate sponsors! ALMA relies on funding from many grantors. We also depend on the countless donated hours of support from volunteers such as board members.
Each summer ALMA produces the Sundays at Six concert series, free and live in Cole Park. Enjoy many other live music events year round including Battle of the Bands, and the Holiday Singalong.

A peak moment with ALMA was the Sundays at Six concert in August 2024, featuring Groove N' Motion. EVERYBODY was dancing in the rain with the band, bringing our mission to life.

A highlight of working with ALMA for me is our annual Sundays at Six watch party. The programming committee getting together to discuss music and our vision of the next years Sundays at Six lineup is always enjoyable.

Sound is the original vibration. Everything has a song. Music allows us to celebrate and know ourselves, and explore what it is to be human. Music is fun. Music unites. I can’t imagine our world existing without music.

There is no ALMA without this astonishing place along the Rio Grande, and this includes the energies we all feel surrounding and within us. Energies connecting us to nature (where music originates) and to the deep histories of this place and the peoples living, working and playing here.
Why is music important for community? What else can bring a room full of strangers together, who hold different values and beliefs, who are a part of different demographics, in the same way music can? Since the beginning of time, music has been a means for connection. Now more than ever, this world craves connection.

Music is important to me because it has helped shape me into who I am today. It is important for our community because it helps bring people together and it also brings joy in our community.

Music has always given me an outlet—there’s a genre, artist, and song for almost every experience. Music has always brought me joy. Doing that as a community and as a body can be even more powerful and meaningful.
