Richard Atkins is an accomplished pianist and composer with a career that has taken him to many major concert venues including an upcoming Carnegie Hall debut. A graduate of the University of Maryland, he performed for years at the Ambassador Lounge at the U.N. Plaza Hotel and the Waldorf Astoria New York, where he served as pianist for Guy Lombardo during the orchestra’s final season.
Now Richard focuses on performing his own music from his recently released critically acclaimed album Pianistically Speaking. Join him on March 8th at Keller Hall at the University of New Mexico for an evening of beautiful melodies, and heartfelt original pieces.

Our Mission
The New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum uses the lessons and personal stories of the Holocaust, other genocides, and New Mexico’s diverse history to educate and inspire communities of upstanders.
Our Vision
NMHIM envisions a world in which individuals respect and stand up for the differences in others. Through the museum’s collaborations, both in person at the museum, in schools and community sites, and online, we aspire to be agents of change by encouraging dialogue, building mutual understanding, and taking appropriate actions within our diverse communities to create upstanders.

Our Museum
We are unique. Our purpose is to educate visitors about the Holocaust as well as teach about other genocides and forms of bullying that have affected people around the world. We are not limited to one religion, culture, geographic area, or time.
Education is our focus. A critical component of our mission is educating children about bullying, prejudice, and hate. Our outreach programs encourage empathy for others–to become upstanders, rather than bystanders–and befriend those in their communities who need their support.
Our exhibits educate. The museum welcomes thousands of visitors annually. We include exhibits on the Holocaust, the African American and Native American experiences, and others.
