Alamogordo, NM — Music lovers and wellness seekers in the Tularosa Basin have a special treat coming this month. Renowned local flutist Samuel Pollack returns to Otero Artspace for an evening of immersive, multicultural flute music in his signature “Temple of Wind” experience on Monday, May 27, at 7:00 PM.
Pollack, an Alamogordo native and traveling professional musician, has spent over 15 years collecting and mastering rare wind instruments from around the world. His performances blend ambient soundscapes, nature-inspired reverbs, and improvisational melodies drawn from diverse cultural traditions — creating a meditative “sound journey” that promotes relaxation, healing, and connection to the earth and spirit.
“I do these events to provide my hometown with a musical and peaceful experience that is truly unique,” Pollack shared in a previous interviewwith AlamogordoTownNews.org . “This new age profession is something I have been doing for years now… Sharing my love for the flute and wind instruments is one of my highest joys. To share sounds that most people don’t or won’t ever hear in person.”
His inspirations draw from ambient music, video game and film soundtracks (such as Lord of the Rings and Legend of Zelda), and the work of other sound healing practitioners. Pollack’s “Temple of Wind” events have become popular at venues like Trinity Turtle Healing Labyrinth Park, where audiences gather for sunset performances filled with harmonious, transcendent flute melodies.
Otero Artspace, located at 12th and Indiana in Alamogordo, provides the perfect intimate setting for this performance. Attendees can expect a relaxing evening of live music designed for contemplation and renewal.

two very difference visions of what our government should look like, and how it should function...one is, go along to get along - the other says search for the truth. it is past time for the truth to be told, to not spare the horses, to let the chips fall where they may.
whose side are you on?
I thought I read here that John Block sux ****? That's not cool. It's a sin.
A sin? According to whose invisible friend? Yours? Those aluminum cans are calling.
block is JAR - just another republican - co-operating to "block" the evidence that their dear leader was involved in plenty of the nastiest of the epstein shenanigans. i can only hope that the survivors, and the public, live long enough for the truth to be revealed.
Is that kinda like being a RINO?
I think I read here a month ago that John Block sux cokc? That's not dignified of our leadership. It's a sin.
this minimizes the effect of using ai specifically to mislead, or give the appearance of truth to falsehoods - and that is a use which we cannot afford, and should not condone...

this situation reflects the fact that doing everything on the cheap, and only using band-aids when problems arise - and problems ALWAYS arise - is going to end up just like this. people who ignore REALITY wind up needing CHARITY to solve the problems that they crea
We appreciate that Mayor McDonald is being proactive on the water infrastructure issue. We feel there may be a reckoning regarding the water issue in the Southwest in the not too distant future. We also appreciate the informative reporting. Keep up the good work!
Wow Stu! Spoken like a person that never got punched in the mouth and it shows. Secondly, I’m not sure proactive is the right term when you state after years of neglect. Does this mean water infrastructure becomes a priority or attempts at Natatoriums and pretty signs?
We need a qualified person, not someone who ran on race.
You said so many important things here, and I really commend you for your strength and dedication to advocate for these important issues. It is especially important for those impacted to have their voices heard. Thank you.
