Guitarist and theorbo player Pablo Champion just moved to Santa Fe. He'll be playing a chamber music performance this summer, at the Awakening Museum.

Capocchi Music's "almost-sumptuous" offices and studios are moving!
After many years we'll be leaving the 1412 Llano St. building (the old Santa Fe Guitar and Violin Works’ shop) and moving a couple of blocks North to even more "almost-luxurious" quarters, across from Salazar Elementary.
I'll post the new address once the deal is final.
Don't worry, I won't ask to borrow your truck.
