Harry Fonseca (1946–2006) Fire (1989) Lithograph, edition of 75 22” x 30” Image courtesy of the Harry Fonseca Trust, with exclusive representation by Chiaroscuro Contemporary Art in Santa Fe, New Mexico. About the artist: Harry Fonseca was born on January 5, 1946, in Sacramento, California, of Nisenan Maidu, Hawaiian, and Portuguese heritage. His work went through several transformations throughout his long career as an exhibiting artist, but the one constant was his openness to new influences and sources of inspiration. Fonseca began his Coyote series—which Fire is part of— in 1979. The subject of that series is Coyote, the trickster and transformer. Fonseca re-situated this cultural hero into contemporary settings, and Coyote became an alembic through which Fonseca filtered his vision of the artist and the Native American in society. In August 2006, Fonseca was diagnosed with brain cancer and hospitalized at the Veterans Administration hospital in Albuquerque. He died there on December 28, 2006, at the age of 60.

“Chiricahua Love Song”, 1987, bronze edition of 12, 36” H X 10” W X 9” D
Welcome to Our 2022 Season We’re so happy to see you! As we continue to navigate these unpredictable times, one thing remains constant: our love for presenting extraordinary live chamber music concerts performed by the world’s most acclaimed musicians. This summer, for our 2022 season, we’re presenting 40 concerts in our longtime venues of St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art and The Lensic Performing Arts Center, and each one showcases the high-level artistry you expect. One highlight we’re especially excited about is the newly formed Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio performing, for the first time in our history, a cycle of the groundbreaking Beethoven Piano Trios over the course of a single season. The trio—which features the talents of pianist Gloria Chien and violinist Soovin Kim, co-artistic directors of Chamber Music Northwest, and Paul Watkins, cellist of the renowned Emerson String Quartet—plays nine works on the series, beginning with Beethoven’s Op. 1, No. 1, and ending with his towering Archduke Trio. Another can’t-miss event is the return of our piano-vocal recital series for the first time since we launched it in 2019. On three of our Wednesday Noon programs, we’re featuring powerful yet intimate recitals by tenor Paul Groves and pianist Bradley Moore, mezzo-soprano Fleur Barron and pianist Julius Drake, and soprano Susanna Phillips and pianist Craig Terry, who perform a wonderful range of works—from a traditional Chinese folk song to a 21st-century Uyghur art song, and from 19th-century classics by Schubert, Brahms, and Dvořák to 20thcentury gems by Rachmaninoff, Berg, and Chen Yi.
Michael Everett
Last summer, we were thrilled to present superstar violinist Leila Josefowicz in her Festival debut, and this summer we’re even more excited to welcome her back for her first-ever Festival recital, during which she plays what’s perhaps Bach’s best-known work for solo violin: the Partita No. 2 in D Minor. We’re also excited to present recitals by pianists Zoltán Fejérvári, Kirill Gerstein, Benjamin Hochman, Gilles Vonsattel, and Haochen Zhang as well as two works—Knussen’s Requiem: Songs for Sue, featuring soprano Tony Arnold, and Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony in E Major—conducted by John Storgårds. You can also hear premieres of commissioned works by Kaija Saariaho, Shulamit Ran, Detlev Glanert, and our two 2022 Young Composers, Marco-Adrián Ramos and Benjamin Scheer, as well as New Mexico premieres of works by Matthias Pintscher and Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug. Thirteen artists make their highly anticipated Festival debuts this summer, including the previously mentioned Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio, conductor James Gaffigan, pianist Nicolas Namoradze, Louisville Orchestra Principal Oboe Alexander Vvedenskiy, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Principal Clarinet YaoGuang Zhai, and the Beijing Guitar Duo. We also can’t wait to welcome back dozens of longtime friends of the Festival, including violinists Martin Beaver, Jennifer Frautschi, Paul Huang, Ida Kavafian, and Daniel Phillips; violists Che-Yen Chen, Paul Neubauer, and Steven Tenenbom; cellists Eric Kim, Peter Stumpf, and Peter Wiley; harpist June Han; flutists Bart Feller and Tara Helen O’Connor; oboist Robert Ingliss; clarinetist Todd Levy; bassoonist Christopher Millard; hornists Jennifer Montone and Julia Pilant; and the Dover, Escher, FLUX, and Miami string quartets.

Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival Commissions As the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival heads toward its 50th anniversary season in 2023, the celebration begins this summer with premieres of commissioned works—written in honor of that momentous event—by three of the world’s leading composers: Kaija Saariaho, Shulamit Ran, and Detlev Glanert. The Festival also premieres commissioned works by Marco-Adrián Ramos and Benjamin Scheer, the two participants in the Festival’s 2022 Young Composers String Quartet Project, and all five works bring the total number of Festival commissions—so far—to 109.

On the 2022 season-opening program, presented July 17 and July 18, James Gaffigan conducts the New Mexico premiere of Kaija Saariaho’s Semafor for Eight Instruments, performed by pianist Nicolas Namoradze, violinist L. P. How, violist Che-Yen Chen, cellist Joseph Johnson, double bassist Leigh Mesh, flutist Bart Feller, clarinetist Todd Levy, and bassoonist Ted Soluri.
Kaija Saariaho
Ms. Saariaho was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1952. She studied at the Sibelius Academy in her hometown, the Hochschule für Musik Freiburg, the Darmstadt Summer Course, and, beginning in 1982, the Institute for Research and Coordination in Acoustics/Music (IRCAM) in Paris, where she’s lived ever since. In the early 1980s, Ms. Saariaho became interested in spectral music, and, at IRCAM, she explored creating 8

electronic music that uses tape, computers, and live elements. She wrote her first major composition, Verblendungen, for orchestra and tape, in 1984, and since then she’s been recognized for her proficiency in several genres. Standout works include, among many others, her 1988 composition Petals for cello and live electronics, her 2000 opera L’Amour de loin, her 2006 oratorio La Passion de Simone, and her 2012 orchestra-andelectronics piece Circle Map. Ms. Saariaho’s works are performed by the world’s leading ensembles, including the New York, Los Angeles, Berlin, and Helsinki philharmonics; Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra; and Orchestre National de France, to name just a few. She’s also the recipient of numerous honors and awards, with a select list including the 2003 Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition, 2008 Musician of the Year Award from Musical America, 2009 Wihuri Sibelius Prize, 2011 Léonie Sonning Music Prize, and 2011 Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording. In a program note for Semafor, Ms. Saariaho writes: Ideas for this piece started to turn in my mind when completing my [2019] orchestra piece Vista. There the orchestral texture is culminating at some point in a passage with quick xylophone ostinati on G in two alternating octaves, surrounded by short, accented G–F# glissandi on solo wind instruments trying to cut violently that obsessive continuum. In that particular context, the texture
is short, and it couldn’t have been longer—even if I would have wanted it to continue—but the intensity of the obsessive octaves versus those scream-like glissandi stayed in my mind, asking to be developed for more music. When I then started to work on this material, I realized my use of octaves here was different from the usual in my music; normally the octave is, for me, an interval for releasing the harmonic tension. It unwinds the musical intensity and direction, or at least fixes it, and we feel it physically. Here the tempo, register, and dynamics—but, above all, the disturbing, accented glissandoscreams—remove the feeling of resolution, and I started asking myself what would happen if the whole piece would be about this contradictory but reduced material. Gradually, the music grew into a study on breaking the combination of the ostinato and scream; building it again; varying, modifying, developing/metamorphosing it. The idea of the octave and, more generally, of regulating harmonic tension via separate intervals rather than by harmonic successions stayed central here. The music changes character from joyous to calm throughout the piece, also with the help of changing tempi that regulate the musical flow. The Swedish spelling of the word semaphore is a reference to the late Finnish artist Ernst MetherBorgström, whose first language was Swedish. His work has been well known to me since my childhood, and I grew up with his paintings.

as the Cleveland Orchestra, Israel and New York philharmonics, and Baltimore and National symphony orchestras. In 1993, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra premiered her commissioned work Legends in honor of the centenaries of the orchestra and the University of Chicago, where, from 1973 to 2015, Ms. Ran was a member of the composition faculty; she currently serves as an Andrew MacLeish Distinguished Service Professor Emerita. In addition to the Pulitzer Prize, Ms. Ran has been awarded two Guggenheim Foundation fellowships, commissions from the Fromm Music Foundation and the Serge Koussevitzky Music Foundation in the Library of Congress, and first prize in the Kennedy Center Friedheim Award competition for orchestral music, among many other honors. She’s a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the American Academy of Arts and Letters, where for three years she served as vice president for music. About All Roads Leading, Ms. Ran writes:
Shulamit Ran
Shulamit Ran was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, in 1949, and in 1991 she became the second woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Music (for her 1990 orchestral work Symphony, which The Philadelphia Orchestra commissioned). As a child, Ms. Ran studied piano and composition with some of Israel’s leading musicians, and at the age of 14, she moved to the United States to accept a scholarship to study at the Mannes School of Music in New York City. Her compositional voice has been influenced by the American composers Ralph Shapey (whom she studied with) and Elliott Carter. Ms. Ran’s orchestral works have been performed by such leading ensembles
Being commissioned by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival for the major milestone of its 50th anniversary was a special honor and privilege for me. My choice of the flute, viola, and harp combination for this work was reached quickly and almost instinctively, motivated in part by the fact that I have not written for this instrumental grouping before and therefore relished the challenge, but also because something about its color palette reminded me of the image I have of Santa Fe. A prior visit to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival introduced me to a sun-drenched city of warm hues, a thriving arts scene, and a spirit of relaxed tolerance. In All Roads Leading, I treat the instruments intermittently as three distinct characters who have their own individual “voices” and musical materials, while at other times they coalesce into a single, more unified
entity. In the sections expressive of the instruments’ individual “souls”—as I like to call them— the music ranges from the songful to the impassioned but also the volatile. In contrast, where all three instruments act as a single entity, the music tends to be highly rhythmic, sometimes dance-like, even angular and spiky. As the work progresses, the boundaries between these contrasting approaches become deliberately blurrier and more intertwined. One might well hear this as the musical analog of a tale with various twists and turns in the plot. And although eschewing a formal recapitulation, various motivic threads as well as emotive “states” are eventually brought full circle, as if to fulfill an intended role that crystallizes only as All Roads Leading plays out its full journey. Simultaneously with the general unwinding and relaxation that is reached near the end, a mutation of an earlier, more threatening element appears at the very closing of the work, perhaps a reminder that the unknown always lies ahead. The day after the premiere of Ms. Ran’s new work, on August 5, the Festival presents the world premiere of Detlev Glanert’s String Quartet No. 3, performed by the FLUX Quartet.

He also created several versions of playful and colorful sculptures that he called Semafor, since he thought of them as traffic signs in our urban jungle. In his mind, he considered that art should surround us everywhere as a messenger of spiritual values in our life. Who wouldn’t agree?
Detlev Glanert Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival 2022 ∙ The 49th Season |
9
Detlev Glanert was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1960. He began studying trumpet at age 11 and composition in his 20s, and today he’s primarily known for his acclaimed operas—such as Der Spiegel des großen Kaisers, Joseph Süß, and Caligula—and he’s renowned for his chamber music and orchestral works as well. His teachers have included Oliver Knussen, whom he studied with at Tanglewood in Massachusetts, and Hans Werner Henze, who was his teacher in Cologne for several years. Along with Mahler and Ravel, Henze has been a major influence on Glanert’s compositional style, which has been described as being “characterized by a lyrical musical language and an affinity with the Romantic tradition, explored from a contemporary point of view.” When it comes to composing, Mr. Glanert has said that a work “must tell you something about your life and something about what you are. Opera has to have this principle, and so does orchestral music. If it does not, it will die.” Mr. Glanert’s numerous honors and awards include, among others, the 1987 Bach Prize from the City of Hamburg, the 1993 Rolf Liebermann Opera Prize, the 2001 Bavarian Opera Prize, and serving as house composer for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and composer-in-residence for the Mannheim National Theatre, Radio Orchestra Cologne, and Pacific Music Festival in Sapporo, Japan. In a program note for his String Quartet No. 3, Mr. Glanert writes: A string quartet is always the most private and intimate musical form for any composer in any time. It contains music like a diary, pure and authentic. There’s no orchestral brilliance or splendid instrumentation to help; it is just music in its most detailed, intelligent, and dialectic form. It is pure truth. My first string quartet was composed in 1986, the second in 2006, and the present work in 2021–22 during the third [pandemic] lockdown and at the beginning of the Ukrainian war. This work’s three movements 10

My personal wish is that every listener takes my music as their private statement—as an emotional self-analysis, as childhood play filtered through adult experiences and reflection. This is the best thing that music can offer.

Young Composers String Quartet Project This annual Festival program, established in 2013, spotlights two up-and-coming composers who spend a week in Santa Fe, where they receive mentoring from Artistic Director Marc Neikrug, meet with music-publishing veterans, and have their Festival-commissioned works premiered by the renowned FLUX Quartet.
Mr. Ramos is a Mexican American composer who was born and raised in Arkansas. Over the past few years, he’s received two ASCAP Foundation Morton Gould Young Composer Awards (in 2016 and 2021), the BMI Student Composer Awards’ William Schuman Prize, the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Charles Ives Scholarship, an artist grant from the National Association of Latino Arts and Cultures, and the Arthur
Friedman Prize from his undergraduate and graduate alma mater, The Juilliard School. His works have been performed by such ensembles as the New York Youth Symphony, the 45th Parallel Chamber Orchestra, the Orchestra of St. Luke’s, and the Houston Symphony through the American Composers Orchestra’s EarShot Readings program. Mr. Ramos began playing the violin in middle school, and it was during that time, when he was around 12 years old and a member of his school’s orchestra, that he also began composing. He draws inspiration from “poetry in English and Spanish, Fibonacci numbers, anime, Mexico, and recipe books,” but he doesn’t compose for any particular form or genre. “I am naturally curious,” he says, “and boundaries can annoy me.” Similarly, when it comes to his compositional style, he says: “Words dissolve when I try to talk about my work, [so] the listener’s impression is always illuminating.”

As a violinist, Mr. Ramos notes that “writing string music is generally a fishin-water activity,” and he thinks “it can be a fertile ground for contemporary music.” His Festival-commissioned quartet is titled Woven clay for the death of Mario Lavista or Quartet II, which is written in memory of the renowned Mexican composer who died in 2021 at the age of 78. (The Festival presents Lavista’s Marsias for Oboe and Eight Crystal Glasses, written in 1982, on the season-closing program on August 22.)

bachelor’s degree from the Eastman School of Music and master’s degree from the New England Conservatory, and he’s currently completing his doctoral degree at the Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University. Mr. Scheer was awarded composition fellowships at the Tanglewood Music Center and American Conservatory at Fontainebleau, and he received his first orchestral commission in 2013 from the New Haven Symphony Orchestra. Currently, he’s a faculty member at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, where he teaches composition and music theory. Mr. Scheer began playing the violin at the age of 5, and around the age of 15, he was inspired to write his first work. “I happened to be learning the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, and I was so enamored by that piece that I quickly became determined to write my own 40-minute-long violin

On August 5, the Festival presents the world premieres of string quartets commissioned from the participants in its 2022 Young Composers String Quartet Project: 27-year-old MarcoAdrián Ramos and 29-year-old Benjamin Scheer.

concerto,” he says. “The whole thing was in G minor, and it was, sadly, an atrocious piece! However, I now realize that I had to get that out of my system, so to speak, in order to discover my compositional voice.” That voice, Mr. Scheer says, reflects a style that he thinks “is dependent on emotional expression. I want the performers to approach my piece in the same way that they would a piece by Brahms or Strauss.” He’s influenced by “anything that has a compelling story, and for this reason,” he says, “I’m usually drawn to visual art. However, in the past, I’ve also found inspiration from outrageous post-modern architecture, 18th- and 19th-century poetry, and ugly deep-sea fish.” When it comes to writing for a particular genre, Mr. Scheer says that he especially enjoys a challenge. “I once had a commission to write for the electric guitar and acoustic piano. I’d never even touched an electric guitar before that, and it provided me an opportunity to learn all about it and explore musical ideas I never would have considered with any other instrumentation.” The string quartet, he notes, “has such a rich history—dating all the way back to Haydn—and one of the challenges of writing for it is paying respect to the tradition that’s come before while also finding something new to say.”
act. I use pizzicati and harmonics to represent the careful tiptoeing of the funambulist and a separate theme to represent the dread of a fatal misstep.” Both Mr. Ramos and Mr. Scheer will be first-time visitors to Santa Fe when they arrive to ultimately hear their works premiered by longtime Festival collaborators the FLUX Quartet, whom they’ll workshop their piece with before the performance, and they’re both excited about participating in the Young Composers program and spending time in the City Different. “It’s a pleasure to be working with the Festival so far,” Mr. Ramos says, “and I’m looking forward to collaborating with the FLUX Quartet. I love travel and look forward to visiting Santa Fe.” Mr. Scheer shares similar sentiments, saying: “When I first heard that I had been selected to participate in the Festival’s Young Composers String Quartet Project, I was so excited that I immediately started working on my piece!” He also notes that he’s “most looking forward to working with the performers,” but, he adds, “I’m also so eager to visit a place with so much inspiring natural beauty as Santa Fe.”

Mr. Scheer describes his Festivalcommissioned quartet, titled The Funambulist’s Double, as “a piece that’s meant to tell a nightmarish story of a tightrope performer who encounters her doppelgänger mid-act.

| Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival 2022 ∙ The 49th Season
Annual Fund: How YOU Make the Music Happen Dear Festival Friends,
This summer marks the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 49th season. Every year, we offer our audience an unforgettable musical experience by presenting a wide range of chamber music repertoire performed by musicians of the highest caliber from around the world. Your generosity—as donors, patrons, and valued members of our musical family—makes this glorious music possible. Your support also allows us to bring music into the lives of thousands of children and youth through our music education programs. Music in Our Schools is a series of chamber music concerts performed for students in pre-K and grades K–6 at 15 schools in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. Strings in Our Schools offers small-group violin instruction (which culminates in yearly recitals and group concerts) to students in grades 3–6 in four elementary schools in Santa Fe and Pecos. Guitar in Our Schools provides small-group guitar instruction for students in grades 3–6 at Kha’p’o Community School at Santa Clara Pueblo. The Dream Big Private Lesson Program offers weekly subsidized private lessons taught at middle and high schools on each student’s chosen instrument, including voice. And our summer Youth Concerts feature Festival musicians engaging children with fascinating storytelling and performances of repertoire drawn directly from our regular programming. In addition to our concerts and education programs, your generosity supports the creation of important new music, which the Festival commissions every year from today’s leading composers as well as exciting up-and-coming talents, and it allows us to broadcast Festival performances via our national Radio Series on stations around the country and beyond, including in areas where access to classical music may be limited. All of us at the Festival thank you for your ongoing support of our concerts and programs. To make your tax-deductible 2022 donation to the Festival, contact our Director of Development, Cece Derringer, at 505-983-2075, ext. 108, or cderringer@sfcmf.org. You can also mail your donation to the Festival at PO Box 2227, Santa Fe, NM, 87504-2227, or pick up an Annual Fund brochure at the Ticket Office desk—located in our venues’ lobbies during the Festival season—and drop the enclosed donation envelope into the donation box near the Ticket Office desk.
YOUR DONATION MATTERS—NOW MORE THAN EVER!
This year, the Festival is the recipient of an exciting challenge grant. Please consider supporting the music you love with a tax-deductible gift that can be matched through this challenge grant. Still Water Foundation Special Donor Challenge Between now and October 31, 2022, new Festival donors who give $250 or more and returning donors who increase their gifts by $250 or more over last year’s amount will have their gifts matched, dollar for dollar, by the Still Water Foundation—which means that every gift’s impact will double instantly. Now and always—challenge or no challenge—please know that your generosity in making the music happen is deeply and warmly appreciated. You make a difference. Thank you.

The Endowment: Investing in the Festival’s Future In 1998, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival created a permanent endowment to ensure that its rich tradition of presenting the world’s finest chamber music could continue for generations to come. Through bequests and outright gifts large and small from many donors over the years, the Endowment has grown to nearly $11 million today, and the Festival is deeply grateful to the donors who have so generously participated in this important effort. You, too, can make a lasting impact on the Festival and play a crucial role in its future by contributing to the general Endowment or establishing your own Named Fund. (Please see the Perpetual Sponsorships section of this program book for a list of current Named Funds.) Named Funds can support an exciting range of Festival activities, including artists’ and composers’ residencies, unique education and outreach programs, and special Festival projects, such as recordings and national radio broadcasts. Gifts of any amount—whether made today or as part of your estate plans—are welcome and deeply appreciated. For more information, please contact the Festival’s Director of Development, Cece Derringer, at 505-983-2075, ext. 108, or cderringer@sfcmf.org. Endowment Board of Directors Peter B.

Education and Outreach
The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival upholds a passionate commitment to the artistic needs of its local community through its engaging and inspiring music education programs for youth in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. Strategically structured for efficacy and reach, our programs provide powerful learning experiences over a period of many years. Our sequential, spiral, and research-based curriculum, coupled with intentional teacher-student interaction, has a transformative impact on students’ school attendance, graduation rates, worldviews, career choices, and potential for success in life.
Music in Our Schools
Music in Our Schools is a series of themed, in-school chamber music concerts for students in pre-K and grades K–6 at 15 schools in Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos, Pecos, and Santa Clara Pueblo. The program reaches nearly 4,800 students annually and introduces them to classical chamber music. Prior to each concert, music and classroom teachers attend a Festival-run workshop, where they receive training, lesson plans, and materials related to an upcoming performance. Teachers return to their schools and introduce the music to their students through standards-based learning sequences. When musicians arrive on concert day, students are already familiar with the music—its sounds, melodies, 84

characteristics, instruments, and composers. The pre-concert learning experiences make each school performance personal, safe, intellectually accessible, and deeply meaningful.
Strings in Our Schools
Strings in Our Schools offers small-group violin instruction in four elementary schools in Santa Fe and Pecos, serving students in grades 3–6. The free program provides students with violins and materials, and instruction is individualized for unique learning needs. Strings in Our Schools students go on to enroll in public-school orchestra programs at the middle school level, taking their musical study to ever-higher levels. Without Strings in Our Schools, students would miss the opportunity to learn violin during critical elementary school years and
wouldn’t be fully prepared to play in middle school orchestras.
Guitar in Our Schools
Guitar in Our Schools provides youth with instruction in classical guitar. The program is based at the Kha’p’o Community School at Santa Clara Pueblo and serves students in grades 3–6. Students learn multiple aspects of guitar playing through twice-weekly lessons, and they perform in concerts every school year at special Kha’p’o Community School events.
Dream Big Private Lesson Program
The Dream Big Private Lesson Program is Santa Fe’s only subsidized lesson program serving low-income music students in public middle and high schools. It offers

Education and Outreach (continued)
weekly low- and no-cost private lessons taught at school by professional musicians on each student’s chosen instrument, including voice. The program serves 31 students and provides an average of 941 private lessons per year. Public-school performing groups— band, choir, guitar ensemble, and string orchestra—require students to accurately and independently carry sophisticated parts. Private lessons empower students to master their parts and perform them with confidence and artistry. They earn the respect of their peers while contributing to their ensembles as valued team members. Dream Big students always rise to the top of their performing groups. They play for honors ensembles at regional and state levels, and they often continue their music studies at the university level, pursuing music as their life path. Perhaps most importantly, Dream Big students also, through their instructor, gain a relationship with a caring, capable adult that they can bond with and rely on during vulnerable teenage years. Dream Big students harbor the hope that musicianship will be their unique way to express themselves and contribute to society as adults. Through Dream Big, we empower our students to make their biggest dreams come true.
Youth Concerts
A mainstay since 1983, the Festival’s Youth Concerts are enduringly popular events that make classical music fun and accessible for youth of all ages. The free, interactive concerts are held during the Festival’s summer season in St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art. The concerts feature Festival musicians engaging children with fascinating storytelling— about composers, instruments, music, and musical styles—as well as performing repertoire drawn directly from the Festival’s regular programming.
2022 Youth Concert
The concerts delight and inspire our youngest audiences while also building their knowledge and curiosity about the world of music. They draw individual children of all ages (plus their family members or guardians) and hundreds of students from public schools and summer camps.
Youth Concerts are generously sponsored by
Open Rehearsals
Open Rehearsals—which are free and open to the public—offer a behind-thescenes look at how Festival artists and staff put together a performance. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Festival isn’t offering Open Rehearsals this summer.

LENGTH OF CONCERTS Performance lengths vary, but most evening concerts last about two hours, including intermission. Noon and Saturday concerts last about one hour and don’t have an intermission.
CHILDREN ATTENDING CONCERTS Children ages five and older can attend concerts with tickets that are purchased for them; however, concerts are best suited for children ages ten and older. The Festival offers a free Youth Concert series designed especially for children. Visit SantaFeChamberMusic.com/youthconcerts for information. APPLAUSE Although most artists appreciate applause at any time during a performance, audiences should wait until the end of a piece to clap. This is considered respectful to the performers’ concentration and mindful of musical continuity. If you’re unsure about when to applaud, a good rule of thumb is to follow the lead of other audience members. COUGHING If you’re prone to coughing, please have
unwrapped throat lozenges ready when the concert begins, or try to cough during a loud passage of music. If you begin to cough a lot, it’s perfectly acceptable to leave the hall; a Festival staff member or volunteer will readmit you to the hall during an appropriate part of the performance. SMOKING, FOOD, AND BEVERAGES Smoking, food, and beverages are not permitted inside the concert halls or in any part of the New Mexico Museum of Art building. Food and drinks are permitted in the museum’s courtyard during intermission. Refreshments are available for purchase in The Lensic Performing Arts Center lobby before concerts and during intermission. JEWELRY AND FRAGRANCES Please avoid wearing jewelry and accessories that make noise and any
scented personal products that may compromise the health and comfort of other concertgoers. LOST AND FOUND Lost articles may be claimed at the New Mexico Museum of Art’s information desk and at The Lensic Performing Arts Center’s box office during regular business hours. FOR MORE INFORMATION If you want to receive future Festival mailings, such as our 2023 season brochure, or if you want to stay in touch with the Festival through our monthly electronic newsletter, sign up via our website at SantaFeChamberMusic.com.

2023 Season Preview Next summer, from July 16 through August 21, 2023, we’re celebrating our 50th anniversary season, and we can’t wait to experience this exciting musical milestone with you!
On our popular Music at Noon and Bach Plus series, we’re offering 11 vocal and instrumental recitals, which include performances by violinist Rachel Barton Pine and pianists Inon Barnatan, Zoltán Fejérvári, Nicolas Namoradze, Juho Pohjonen, and Haochen Zhang. Tenor Paul Appleby performs Schubert’s first song cycle, Die schöne Müllerin; soprano Tony Arnold and violinist Movses Pogossian join forces in György Kurtág’s Kafka Fragments (one of their signature works); and soprano Ana María Martínez and pianist Craig Terry, mezzosoprano Michelle DeYoung and pianist Kevin Murphy, and mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano and pianist Christopher Cano render wonderfully powerful songs from the rich art-song repertoire.

Programming for our 2023 season spans several styles and centuries—from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons and Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night to Handel’s La Lucrezia and Stravinsky’s two-piano arrangement of The Rite of Spring. We also have dozens of Festival favorites—like Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Schubert’s Trout Quintet, Dvořák’s American Quintet, and Tchaikovsky’s Piano Trio in A Minor—as well as lesserknown gems by Biber, Popper, Braunfels, Thuille, and others. As always, we’re presenting several world and US premieres, with next year’s Festival commissions including works by Magnus Lindberg, Ryan Chase, Christopher Stark, Charlotte Bray, and our two 2023 Young Composers. You can also hear the New Mexico premiere of a new Oboe Quartet by Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug.

Artists making Festival debuts include baritone Thomas Hampson, violinists Chad Hoopes and Yura Lee, and cellist Zlatomir Fung.

A centerpiece of the season is the return of conductor Alan Gilbert, who reprises his epic 2015 performance of Messiaen’s From the Canyons to the Stars—a monumental, 90-minute work that was written in celebration of the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence and evokes the awe-inspiring majesty of the American Southwest. The work’s soloists include one of the Festival’s most cherished longtime collaborators, pianist Kirill Gerstein.

We look forward to seeing you next summer!
