Although we’re still not able to go to full performances in indoor venues, soprano Heather Dials and Camerata del Sol have been offering a musical gift to listeners in Las Cruces and El Paso: free mini-concerts at area churches with music selected for the weeks leading up to, and now following, Easter. The 30-minute program of arias by Bach and Handel has already been presented in several churches with more scheduled for the coming weeks. For Dials, who has performed on opera stages around the world and now makes her home in Las Cruces, the concerts are an opportunity to sing two arias she has never sung in concert before.

LAS CRUCES - Camerata Del Sol is offering COVID-19 safe driveway serenades this year for Lent and Easter, and they ll also be touring at area churches. The 20-minute programs feature a string quartet and renowned soprano Heather Dials, who lives in Las Cruces.
Executive Director Amalia Zeitlin said the group normally performs a Lent concert, but because of the pandemic, venues are unable to host concerts. That s OK though, because one of the nonprofit organization s missions is to make chamber music more accessible to the the community.
