You damn kids with your hippity-hops, your electro-funk-whatever-whatevers and your complicated shoes. These days, all it takes to make music is a finger that can press a play button and a smoke machine. Ever heard of a pipe organ? It was this ancient machine that would blow air through a series of pipes to make sound. For real. UNM actually has a Holtkamp, one of the largest pipe organs in the state. And people still play it! You can see for yourself this Sunday, April 2, at Keller Hall, when organist Maxine Thévenot will perform to celebrate the Holtkamp's 50th birthday. The concert starts at 3:30pm. Tickets for the all-ages show are $15. (Joshua Lee)

Shutterbugs gather up your best pieces and pick some to submit for hanging in the new Bernalillo County headquarters when the gov-peeps move to Alvarado Square, happening now until Monday, August 31. The selected photographs will be printed in a large scale and format. They will be used to create a welcoming environment for county customers, county employees and the general public. Some will be used on the windows of the new Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office suite. The photographs should represent the history and character of Bernalillo County and its people, places, landscapes and unique events in our county. There are some big bucks involved as chosen photographers will receive $1,500, with a limit of one photograph per artist. The chosen photos will become part of the public art program’s permanent collection. There is no fee or age limit required to submit. For more information, visit bernco.gov/community-services/current-call-for-entries.aspx. Ends August 31. (Carolyn Carlson)
