The 2011-2012 Señorita Program
The Señorita Program

The Señorita Program is a long-standing program of the Guild. In 1957 the Albuquerque Women's Symphony Association established the Doñita program to recognize the daughters of Symphony supporters. The Albuquerque Women's Symphony Association evolved into the New Mexico Symphony Guild, and the Doñita Program became the Señoritas of the Symphony. In 2011, the New Mexico Symphony Guild and the Señoritas of the Symphony evolved into the Music Guild of New Mexico Señoritas Program.

The Señorita Program provides a unique opportunity for young women who choose to participate. What began as a selective social debut has become a full year of educational, social, and volunteer activities. The Señorita Program focuses on personal growth and community service to prepare young women for college and adult life. The Señoritas are presented to the community at the annual Señorita Ball.

The Texas Association of Symphony Orchestras honored the Señoritas of the Symphony Program as the 2007 winner of the Education/Development category in their annual Awards and Competition event.

 Señoritas On-the-Go

The Señoritas enjoyed three entertaining and valuable seminars presented by a variety of local professionals. The self-defense and Internet safety seminar presented by Trish Hoffman, "always has them in the aisles," said Teresa Edens, the Señoritas Vice President. A cardiologist, who is also a Señorita mother, presented a heart health and healthy eating seminar, and the third seminar, "which really hit home," Edens said, was on stress and time management.
The young women also spent two days helping pack boxes with the Blue Star Mothers and plan to spend two more in mid-November. 
They volunteered at the Doggie Dash and Dawdle and the Duke City Marathon and assisted with the Opera function in October (as thanks for the free ride to the Opera this past summer).
The young ladies also plan to staff the children's craft area at the Rio Grand Arts and Crafts Fair Thanksgiving weekend and attend The Holiday Tea in December.

Señorita Activities


The first half of our year wrapped up with a wonderful Tea during the first week in December. The Señoritas  made stockings for Title 1 children and filled them with gloves, socks, and snacks.  The girls also collected almost two mounded grocery carts full of food for the Roadrunner Food Bank. The group was very appreciative of what we did.

In January, we are doing car care at Corley's, and then we will have the all important Presentation Meeting at Montano Acura. We are expecting at least 100 people. The Auntie Mames are doing the desserts. Later in January we will have our etiquette lessons/dinner at Four Hills Country Club.  More to come in February.
