Music Office

Already an exciting crossroads city in the Southwest, Albuquerque is uniquely situated to become an ever more vibrant player in the music world locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. Our city possesses world class recording facilities, beautiful, acoustically ideal venues in a variety of sizes, a vibrant and growing downtown scene, a compelling local musician and performance community, independent record labels, manufacturing facilities, local and regional music publications, a variety of music festivals and series, an inspiring geographical setting, a rich cultural and musical history of its own and much more.

The Albuquerque Music Office, a division of the City of Albuquerque Office of Economic Development, is working towards creating an atmosphere to bring our diverse music community together in a creative and cooperative way and in a manner which strengthens the local music industry by growing a sound economic environment that will have a positive impact on the business community a large. We work together with other city offices to bring regional, national and international recognition and, by extension, business to Albuquerque. We seek to develop stronger ties with the growing diverse ethnic and cultural population in the city through support of myriad events citywide. We offer free consultation and advice to all aspects of the local music industry and reliable assistance to the national and international music industry community interested in recording, performing or manufacturing in Albuquerque.
