Welcome WELCOME TO OUR 2021 SEASON Perhaps more than any other year in our decades-long history, we’re thrilled to welcome you to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. Our 2021 season is one of celebration, as we slowly emerge from a year of tremendous loss and hardship. And as COVID-19 restrictions are lifted across the country, we feel hopeful about a return to normalcy and getting much-needed relief from our personal and collective grief. We also feel grateful for everything, big and small, that we may have, in a previous time, taken for granted. One thing we’ve never taken for granted is your support. It’s because of you—your loyalty, generosity, and love of great chamber music—that we’re able to do what we do. And this summer, we’re happier than ever to do it. Over the next six weeks, we present 42 concerts that demonstrate the depth and breadth of the chamber music repertoire through discerning programming and first-rate performances. The season begins on the highest possible note with the return of two giants of the orchestral world—conductor and violinist Alan Gilbert and Berlin Philharmonic Principal Horn Stefan Dohr—who are both cherished friends of the Festival.
Michael Everett
From there, the season unfolds in the same extraordinary manner, with each concert offering its own rich and rewarding musical experience. Highlights include debuts by conductor David Robertson; pianists Jacob Greenberg and Natalie Vargas Nedvetsky; violinists William Hagen, Leila Josefowicz, and Amy Oshiro-Morales; and percussionist Jacob Nissly. Among this summer’s returning artists are chansonnier HK Gruber, pianist Haochen Zhang, violinists Paul Huang and Ida Kavafian, cellist Eric Kim, guitarist Meng Su, flutists Tara Helen O’Connor and Joshua Smith, clarinetist Ricardo Morales, bassoonist Christopher Millard, and the Dover, Miami, and Orion string quartets. Over the course of two concerts, Mark Kosower, principal cello of The Cleveland Orchestra, plays all six of Bach’s Solo Cello Suites, and throughout the season, five pianists—Kirill Gerstein, Zoltán Fejérvári, Gilles Vonsattel, Juho Pohjonen, and Cecile Licad—appear in solo recitals. As part of our longstanding commitment to promoting new music and the work of living composers, this summer we give world or US premieres of eight Festival-commissioned works, including string quartets by Augusta Read Thomas, Helen Grime, and the two participants in the Festival’s 2021 Young Composers String Quartet Project, Lara Poe and Jack Hughes, as well as pieces by Brett Dean, Sean Shepherd, Michael Seltenreich, and Huw Watkins. We’re also thrilled to present the New Mexico premiere of Artistic Director Marc Neikrug’s chamber opera A Song by Mahler, which features the singular talents of mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, baritone Kelly Markgraf, clarinetist David Shifrin, and the FLUX Quartet. This visionary production is directed and designed by Doug Fitch and features lighting design by Nicholas Houfek.
Steven Ovitsky
We’re so excited to reconnect with you in person and find comfort and community through the magnificent music we’re presenting this season. Thank you for spending your summer with us, as we navigate this post-pandemic experience together. We hope you enjoy the 2021 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival Commissions The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival held its first season in 1973, and seven years later, in 1980, it presented its first Festival-commissioned work: Ned Rorem’s The Santa Fe Songs, scored for baritone, violin, viola, cello, and piano and featuring settings of 12 poems by Santa Fe poet Witter Bynner. Over the past several decades, the Festival has become known as a champion of new music and supporter of important living composers—both established and emerging. In 2021, we’re thrilled to present world or US premieres of eight commissioned works, bringing the total number of Festival commissions—so far—to 104. Two of this year’s commissioned works are by Lara Poe and Jack Hughes, participants in our 2021 Young Composers String Quartet Project; the six other works are by Brett Dean, Helen Grime, Augusta Read Thomas, Michael Seltenreich, Huw Watkins, and Sean Shepherd. The first Festival-commissioned work to be performed this season is Brett Dean’s Imaginary Ballet—Dances and Interludes for Piano and String Trio, which will be presented in its US premiere at the 6 p.m. concert on July 21.
his “sustained and significant contribution to Australia’s musical scene.” Mr. Dean currently serves as composer-in-residence for the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Orchestre National de Lyon and as artist-in-residence for the Swedish Chamber Orchestra. For the Festival’s presentation of Imaginary Ballet, Mr. Dean plays the work’s viola part and is joined by pianist Benjamin Hochman, violinist William Hagen, and cellist Joseph Johnson.

In a program note for Imaginary Ballet, Mr. Dean writes:
Brett Dean
Mr. Dean was born in Brisbane, Australia, in 1961 and moved to Germany in 1984. He was a member of the Berlin Philharmonic’s viola section for 14 years, and it was during that time, in 1988, that he began composing. His works are performed by the world’s leading ensembles, soloists, and opera companies, and he maintains his career as an in-demand violist and has become a sought-after conductor as well. In 2009, he won the Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his violin concerto The Lost Art of Letter Writing, and in 2016 he received the Australian Council’s Don Banks Music Award for 10

Even though I was keen for this new work for piano and strings not to be defined by the coronavirus and its endless accompanying news cycles, like the proverbial elephant in the room, it was somehow there anyway while I was composing, winking at me rather rudely, flaunting its new, continuous cough, high temperature, and loss of taste and smell. During this past year or more of dramatic and unprecedented change, I found myself turning increasingly to music of energy, directness, and verve in an effort to counteract, consciously, the, at times, almost overwhelming sense of global tragedy. These lockdown listening habits, often including guilty pleasures of old pop, rock, and dance-music favorites, somehow crept stealthily into this new piece. Thus, what started out as an abstract chamber music piece for the classic piano quartet combination became
an “imaginary ballet”: a suite of fast, rhythmic, dance-like movements. Bearing titles such as Obsessions, Stretto Dance, and Skittish, these dances inhabit a buoyant, bullish, and effervescent space, full of both driving, reassuring repetitions and abrupt changes of tack, of surging waves of quasi-orchestral energy and slivers of sneaky secrecy. Caprice opens the work with a provocatively bouncy, recurring majorninth motive in the piano, a gesture of openness and possibility in this time of shutdown, enticing the strings to join in one after the other. This motive reappears in different guises throughout the work’s nine brief, interconnected movements, informing note choices, melodic shapes, and harmonic directions. During the composition process, a series of slower interludes between the dances also began to emerge, bringing with them quietude and endowing the work with oases of silhouettes and shadows. One of them is a chorale that doffs its cap to Charles Ives. It was inspired by the mysteriously foggy winter twilights of Donnington, the beautiful village in West Berkshire that I escaped to between lockdowns and where this piece was composed. Another is a short elegy in memory of my dear friend and former viola teacher, the remarkable Australian musician John Curro. Imaginary Ballet is about 20 minutes long. May it intrigue you. Dancing is permitted as far as I’m concerned. Socially distanced, of course...
Orchestras, and the Royal Concertgebouw and Royal Scottish National Orchestras, and they’ve been led by such acclaimed conductors as Pierre Boulez, Stéphane Denève, Mark Elder, Daniel Harding, and Yan Pascal Tortelier. Ms. Grime was a 2008 Tanglewood Music Center Composition Fellow, and she’s served as associate composer for the Hallé Orchestra and composer-in-residence for Wigmore Hall and the Spannungen chamber music festival in Heimbach, Germany. Her numerous honors include a British Composer Award and winning Best Large-scale New Work at the Scottish Awards for New Music. Ms. Grime is a professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music in London. In 2020, she was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for her services to music. About her String Quartet No. 2, Ms. Grime writes:
Helen Grime
My Second String Quartet was written during a particularly unusual and, in some ways, difficult period of my life.
Composer Helen Grime was born in York, England, in 1981 but grew up in Scotland. She played oboe in the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland and went on to study oboe with John Anderson and composition with Julian Anderson and Edwin Roxburgh at the Royal College of Music, where she earned her bachelor’s with first-class honors and her master’s with distinction.
I began work on the piece in January 2020, just a few months before the pandemic really hit Europe. I was also newly pregnant with my second son at the time. By the time I was finishing the first movement, we had gone into a strict lockdown, which were strange circumstances in which to be expecting a child.
A frequently commissioned composer, Ms. Grime has written works for such leading organizations and ensembles as BBC Radio 3, Wigmore Hall, and the Aldeburgh Festival, Barbican Centre, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group, Britten Sinfonia, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Hallé Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and Tanglewood Music Center. Some of those commissions were in celebration of such occasions as the 40th anniversary of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, the 60th birthday of conductor and composer Oliver Knussen, the 75th anniversary of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and Sir Simon Rattle’s inaugural season as music director of the London Symphony Orchestra. Her works have also been performed by the Orchestre de Paris, the BBC and Swedish Radio Symphony
In the first movement, the quartet is often treated as two duos: two violins and viola and cello. The music alternates between an austere chorale with hovering, hesitant harmonies and very fast virtuosic material. The second movement was written with much intensity, partly because I now had extremely limited composing time with schools shut and no childcare, but also because of the shifting unknowns in the outside as well as in my own body. I have no idea if all of this has had a direct bearing on the music I wrote, but I definitely felt an urgency when composing and a sense of purpose and focus that was now missing from so many other areas of life. The third movement was written after the birth of my son, at the beginning
of 2021, so also during a strict national lockdown. This movement is vastly different in character. There is a sense of release, and the music is almost always serene, in stark contrast to the intensity and more complex, chaotic textures and tempos of the previous movements. The second Festival-commissioned quartet on the August 4 program is Augusta Read Thomas’s Filigree of the Sun. Ms. Thomas was born in Glen Cove, New York, in 1964 and has been praised by The New Yorker as “a true virtuoso composer.” Her double concerto for flute and violin, Astral Canticle, was one of two finalists for the 2007 Pulitzer Prize in Music, and in the 2013–14 season, her work was performed more than any other living composer’s. Ms. Thomas is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s longestserving Mead Composer-in-Residence (1997–2006), and she’s received honors and awards from the National Endowment for the Arts; the Guggenheim, Fromm, Naumburg, Siemens, and Koussevitzky foundations; ASCAP; BMI; and many other organizations. In 2016, the Chicago Tribune named her Chicagoan of the Year.

The 6 p.m. concert on August 4 features world premieres of two Festival-commissioned string quartets: Helen Grime’s String Quartet No. 2 and Augusta Read Thomas’s Filigree of the Sun. Both works are performed by the FLUX Quartet, which comprises violinists Tom Chiu and Conrad Harris, violist Max Mandel, and cellist Felix Fan.
Augusta Read Thomas
A longtime instructor, Ms. Thomas has taught at Northwestern University and the Eastman School of Music, and she’s currently a composition professor at the University of Chicago, where, in 2016, she founded the school’s Chicago Center for Contemporary Composition. Her many collaborations and commitments include serving as a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and as vice president for music for the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

to have received this commission from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival. Augusta sends her “deep gratitude for the Festival’s support of her life’s work and for their commitments to music’s renewals.”
Ms. Thomas has provided both a note and a drawing for Filigree of the Sun. The note reads: In four short, contrasting, four-minute movements, arranged in the tempo scheme fast, slow, fast, slow and played without a pause, Filigree of the Sun is kaleidoscopic, multicolored, lyrical, vivid, clear, and energized. This work celebrates the manner(s) in which the musicians, individually and collectively, embody and sculpt sound. Musical transformations and connections unfold with a natural impulse, resulting in an optimistic, flexible-sounding, sonorous journey that weaves itself forward, as if it is spinning innately out of the instruments, at times rhythmic, jazzy, expressive, passionate, humorous, bouncy, and resonant. Various soloists take turns serving as protagonist as well as fulcrum point, on and around which the other players’ musical force-fields bloom, rotate, and proliferate. Intricate and nimble chamber music virtuosity is essential. Although highly notated, precise, carefully crafted, and soundly proportioned, and while musicians are elegantly working from a nuanced, specific text, Augusta likes her music to have “the feeling that it is organically being self-propelled—on the spot—as if we listeners are overhearing (capturing) an un-notated improvisation.” “Music’s eternal quality is its capacity for change, transformation, and renewal,” says Augusta, who is honored and thrilled 12

Mr. Seltenreich was born in Israel in 1988. In 2018, he won the International Society of Contemporary Music (ISCM)’s Young Composer Award for his “engaging, effervescent, energetic, and assured” works, and his additional honors include Japan’s Toru Takemitsu Composition Award for orchestral music, the United States’ Salvatore Martirano Memorial Composition Award for chamber music, and Israel’s Prime Minister Award in Composition for his entire body of work. Recent highlights include the premiere of a string octet by the JACK and Mivos Quartets at the Lucerne Festival, a piano trio commission from the Aspen Music Festival, an ASCAP/SCI commission for the new-music sinfonietta Sound Icon, and premieres of his works by Ensemble Miseen and the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE). Mr. Seltenreich’s music, he says, “often maintains a discourse with concepts that relate to music perception and linguistics as well as with social issues, such as mental health and belonging.”
Michael Seltenreich
A tapestry of voicing and orchestration is used to present and represent two pivotal minor chords, sounding ever new in altering configurations. The flow in Movement III evokes the downward cascades of waterfalls, complementing the lifts and ascensions heard in Movement I. Movement IV, a finale, synthesizes the previous movements’ essential characteristics, exploring multidirectionality through space, be it up, down, or sitting idly. At the noon concert on August 10, the Festival presents the US premiere of Huw Watkins’s Seven Inventions for Marimba and Piano, performed by percussionist Daniel Druckman and pianist Jacob Greenberg.
In a program note for his new Sextet, Mr. Seltenreich writes:

Doodle of a map of form as drawn by the composer
The 6 p.m. concerts on August 8 and August 9 feature the world premiere of Michael Seltenreich’s Sextet for Piano and Winds, performed by pianist Jacob Greenberg, flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, oboist Liang Wang, clarinetist Laura Ardan, bassoonist Christopher Millard, and hornist Philip Myers.
Photo by Dennis Christians
Filigree of the Sun is dedicated, with admiration and gratitude, to Marc Neikrug, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and the FLUX Quartet.
This Sextet for Piano and Winds is a 20-minute piece consisting of four movements that explore pitch space from one narrow point of view. Energetic and disjunct, Movement I is characterized by a sensation of climbing ever upwards, as shifting dynamics and articulations are used to evolve an archetypal gesture. Movement II is somber and restrained, with phrases and ideas ending where they initially began.
Huw Watkins
Huw Watkins was born in Pontypool, Wales, in 1976. He studied piano and composition at Chetham’s School of Music and then composition at both Cambridge and the Royal College of Music. He’s
known for several orchestral works— including his Violin, Flute, Piano, and Cello Concertos; his Double Concerto for viola and cello; and his London Concerto for violin, harp, and bassoon—and they’ve been performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra, and BBC National Orchestra of Wales, where he served as composer-in-association from 2015 to 2019. Mr. Watkins’s numerous chamber music works have been commissioned by such artists and organizations as The Nash Ensemble, the Manchester Chamber Concerts Society, The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and Wigmore Hall. He’s also written acclaimed vocal works, including Five Larkin Songs for soprano and piano, which won a British Composer Award, and two chamber operas for Music Theatre Wales—Crime Fiction and In the Locked Room (a cocommission with the Scottish Opera)— both of which feature libretto by David Harsent. Mr. Watkins also continues to perform as an acclaimed pianist. He’s premiered works by Michael Zev Gordon, Oliver Knussen, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and John Woolrich, and he’s performed concertos with leading ensembles such as the BBC Symphony Orchestra and London Sinfonietta. Mr. Watkins is an honorary research fellow in the Composition and Contemporary Music Department at the Royal Academy of Music in London.
Sean Shepherd was born in Reno, Nevada, in 1979. The New York Times has called him “an exciting composer of the new American generation,” and his works have been commissioned by leading ensembles, including the New York Philharmonic; Cleveland and Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestras; BBC, Boston, Chicago, Montreal, National, and New World symphony orchestras; Ensemble intercontemporain; Scharoun Ensemble Berlin; Asko|Schönberg ensemble; and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. Among the festivals that have presented his works are the Aldeburgh and Lucerne Festivals, the Aspen and Grand Teton Music Festivals, the Heidelberg Spring Festival, the La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and Tanglewood. Performances of his works this summer include Wanderlust—Seagulls on High at Tanglewood and Melt in a virtual performance at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music. Mr. Shepherd has served as the Daniel R. Lewis Young Composer Fellow at The Cleveland Orchestra and composer-inresidence for the Reno Philharmonic, and in 2012, he was named the inaugural Kravis Emerging Composer for the New York Philharmonic. He received his bachelor’s degree in composition and a performance diploma in bassoon from Indiana University Bloomington, his master’s degree from The Juilliard School, and his doctoral degree from Cornell University. His numerous honors include winning the 2009 Benjamin H. Danks Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters.

Jack Hughes was born in Reston, Virginia, in 1992 and says his interest was “sparked” by his hometown’s public-school music program. “I was playing trumpet in my middle school band,” he says, “and we were rehearsing a transcription of a Bach fugue. This music was unlike anything I had heard before; I loved how the different voices were weaving in and out of one another. I went home and checked out Aaron Copland’s book What to Listen for in Music from the local library. I read his chapter on fugues, and then I tried writing my own. That little fugue,” he notes, “which I actually wrote for string

quartet, ended up being my first real composition.” Several years after that pivotal experience, Mr. Hughes earned a bachelor of music degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music, where he was a double major in theory and composition and studied with Keith Fitch, and his PhD at the University of Chicago, where he studied with Augusta Read Thomas and Shulamit Ran. Mr. Hughes served as a composer fellow for the Canton Symphony Orchestra in 2014 and San Francisco’s Volti choral ensemble in 2017. Two years later, he was awarded an Underwood Commission from the American Composers Orchestra, which is scheduled to premiere his new work at Carnegie Hall in 2022, and last year, the American Academy of Arts and Letters awarded him its Charles Ives Scholarship. This fall, he begins teaching music theory at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Mr. Hughes’s works—whose style he describes as “colorful, subtle, harmonically driven, sneaky, dynamic, [and] personal”— have been performed by various artists, including the sextet Eighth Blackbird, the string quartet Quatuor Bozzini, and the Quince Ensemble, a contemporary vocal group. “I personally don’t feel as though my music fits into one of the stylistic ‘isms’ (minimalism, spectralism, etc.),” he says, “although it is inspired by many different types of music.” In addition, when composing, Mr. Hughes doesn’t gravitate toward any particular form or genre. However, he’s “always loved instrumental music,” he says, and does write “mainly for acoustic instruments instead of for voice or electronics.” Instrumental music, he adds, “feels like my musical home base, where I can express my ideas most fluently.” Lara Poe likes working with “larger-scale forms that make a work feel coherent. The possibilities are so vast for orchestra in particular,” she says. “[But] I always try to find a form that suits the material I’m

On Friday, August 6, the Festival premieres works by Finnish American composer Lara Poe and Clevelandbased composer Jack Hughes, this year’s participants in the Young Composers String Quartet Project, which Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug founded in 2013. The program offers Festival commissions to two emerging composers who are mentored by Mr. Neikrug, receive industry guidance from music-publishing veterans, and workshop their pieces with the FLUX Quartet before the renowned new-music ensemble premieres them during a Festival concert.

working with, which is easier said than done,” she adds, noting that she enjoys “writing for a variety of ensembles. Solo pieces,” she says, “are really rewarding, as you’re working very closely with an individual and writing something that suits them. And the same goes for a smaller ensemble, where you’re working very closely with the players.” Ms. Poe, who was born in Winchester, Massachusetts, in 1993, is mostly based in London, where she’s completing her PhD at King’s College London. She earned her bachelor of music degree from Boston University, where she was inducted into the music honor society Pi Kappa Lambda, and she earned both her master’s, with distinction, and artist diploma from the Royal College of Music. While pursuing her education, she’s received many honors and awards, including the 2021 BMI Student Composer Award, the 2020 Theodore Holland Intercollegiate Composition Prize, the 2016 American Prize in Chamber Music Composition–Student Division, and Boston University’s 2016 Wainwright Prize and 2016 Department of Composition and Music Theory Award.
She also won the Royal College of Music’s Spring 2018 Concerto Competition, and in 2017 she became the first woman to win the BMI Student Composer Awards’ William Schuman Prize. In addition, she was a 2019 Tanglewood Composition Fellow and a participant in the London Symphony Orchestra’s 2018– 19 Panufnik Composers Scheme and the 2017 Britten Pears Young Artist Programme. Like Mr. Hughes, Ms. Poe began composing as a child. “I initially started as a pianist and got into composition by improvising little pieces for piano,” she says. “My piano teacher noticed this and referred me to Rodney Lister, who then became my composition teacher.” Ms. Poe studied with Mr. Lister at the New England Conservatory of Music Preparatory School and Paavo Korpijaakko at the Tampere Conservatory in Finland. Both institutions allowed her to train in “an incredibly supportive environment,” she says. “I was able to work with other musicians my age, and we’d play each other’s works.”

So far in her career, Ms. Poe’s works have been performed in the United States, the United Kingdom, Finland, Latvia, Romania, Taiwan, France, Norway, Sweden, and Germany. Her musical style “is always really hard to describe,” she says, “but two words I’d use
FLUX Quartet
are precise and coloristic.” Her influences range from “older (mostly European) traditions” to “some very specific 20thand 21st-century influences,” and she’s also been “inspired and influenced” by her teachers. Ms. Poe draws upon extramusical influences as well, noting that she takes inspiration “from the natural world. The cold, sparkling, wintry world of northern Finland in the winter is really important to me,” she says, “but there are certain other things, too, like lakes, the play of light as it filters through leaves, and certain sweeping landscapes.” The string quartet form that’s at the heart of the Festival’s Young Composers program has “such a long history of masterpieces that you can definitely feel the anxiety of influence while composing,” Mr. Hughes says, adding that “there’s a lot of Haydn” in his own quartet. Ms. Poe says that because “Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Bartók, Berg, Saariaho, Crumb, and so many other composers have written notable string quartets, it can feel really difficult to come up with something fresh.” But setting out to do so, she says, is “a very exciting challenge. The [string quartet] works really well in terms of balance and color, and it’s really well suited for creating dialogue.” Mr. Hughes agrees, noting that the string quartet “is a perfectly balanced ensemble with endless possibilities for sonority and texture.”
Both composers worked on their string quartets this past year, during the coronavirus pandemic, and are excited to travel to Santa Fe for their works’ premieres. “I was writing my piece in full lockdown, at my parents’ house just outside of Boston,” Ms. Poe says, “and I’d just finished writing a large orchestral piece for the Lahti Symphony Orchestra. Transitioning from thinking about this large ensemble to thinking about a string quartet was a really welcome change of pace and felt very refreshing.” For Mr. Hughes, his string quartet was his “constant companion throughout a year of upheaval and uncertainty. Having the Festival to look forward to,” he says, “gave me a light at the end of the pandemic tunnel.” PRE-CONCERT TALK AND PREMIERES Friday, August 6, 5 p.m. Pre-concert Talk Women’s Board Room New Mexico Museum of Art The Festival presents a pre-concert talk with the two participants in its 2021 Young Composers String Quartet Project, Lara Poe and Jack Hughes.

A love song by Gustav Mahler is at the center of composer and Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug’s new stage work, A Song by Mahler. “Liebst du um Schönheit” (“If You Love for the Sake of Beauty”), from Mahler’s Rückert Lieder, is “a key element to the drama,” Mr. Neikrug says, and, as it “embodies 66

“Liebst du um Schönheit,” which Mahler wrote for his wife, Alma, is a song the singer in this work is especially known for—it’s the last, signature encore she performs at the end of her concerts—and to give audiences some insight into the song itself and into what it means to the singer personally, Mr. Neikrug has her teach it in a master class early in the story. This idea of a last encore is one of the “several elements that converged” in Mr. Neikrug’s thinking and “provided the initial creative impulse for this work,” he says. In addition to being a composer, Mr. Neikrug is a renowned pianist who famously toured the world
as the recital partner of violinist Pinchas Zukerman. One source of inspiration, he says, “was the simple fact that, for 35 years, Pinchas and I finished our recitals with a last encore, which became associated

Storytelling is a major element in A Song by Mahler, as Mr. Neikrug is drawn to certain kinds of narratives. “I’m interested in stories that have a point of view, a message that I find important,” he says. His hope with this work is that its story and the ways in which it’s conveyed have an impact on concertgoers. “I find the combination of concert music, for want of a better term, and theater to be extremely powerful,” Mr. Neikrug says. “When tied to a subject as profound as love and loss, I would hope that an audience would experience an intellectually and emotionally provoking evening, which would lead to a longer-lasting contemplation.” PRE-CONCERT TALK AND NEW MEXICO PREMIERE Thursday, August 19, 5 p.m. The Lensic Performing Arts Center Pre-concert Talk Composer Marc Neikrug, Director and Designer Doug Fitch, and Lighting Designer Nicholas Houfek Thursday, August 19, 6 p.m. The Lensic Performing Arts Center MARC NEIKRUG A Song by Mahler (2018; New Mexico Premiere) Jennifer Johnson Cano, Mezzo-soprano Kelly Markgraf, Baritone David Shifrin, Clarinet FLUX Quartet (Tom Chiu, violin; Conrad Harris, violin; Max Mandel, viola; Felix Fan, cello) Doug Fitch, Director and Designer Nicholas Houfek, Lighting Designer Amy Hegarty is the Director of Publications for the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

Celebrating the Lives of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum Anyone who’s been involved with the Festival over the past decade has met or felt the influence of Lorlee and Arnold Tenenbaum, both of whom passed away in 2020. Arnold, with Lorlee’s steadfast support and encouragement, embodied all the qualities of a great board member as well as a great leader and friend of the Festival. In 2019, the Festival honored Lorlee and Arnold with The Gifford Phillips Award, which recognizes individuals who’ve supported both the Festival and the local performing arts scene with integrity, leadership, and generosity. This year, in honor of Lorlee and Arnold, a memorial fund has been created to underwrite the presentation of the Festival’s Music at Noon concert series for the next 10 years. Underwriting Music at Noon is a felicitous way to honor Lorlee, Arnold, and the Tenenbaum family and their love of chamber music. To inquire about or contribute to this memorial fund, please contact the Festival’s Director of Development, Cece Derringer, at 505-983-2075, ext. 108, or cderringer@sfcmf.org.

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 by providing enrichment programs for children, youth, and adults in Santa Fe and northern New Mexico. Our music education programs are strategically structured for efficacy and reach. Repeated experiences over a period of several years—coupled with sequential, spiral, and research- and standards-based curriculum—have a long-range, transformative impact on students’ school attendance and graduation rates as well as on their worldviews, career choices, and potential for success in life. We light the fire of learning by educating both the hearts and minds of our children.
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 14 schools in Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos, Pecos, and Santa Clara Pueblo. The program reaches nearly 6,000 students annually and introduces them to traditional and contemporary classical chamber music. In keeping with the Festival’s commitment to world-class quality, the concerts are always performed by the finest artists. Prior to each concert, music and classroom teachers attend a Festival-run workshop, where they receive training, lesson plans, and materials related to the upcoming performance. The teachers return to their schools and introduce the music to their students, helping them experience it through research-based and ageappropriate learning sequences. 84
| Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival 2021 ∙ The 48th Season
When musicians arrive on concert day, the students are already familiar with the music—its sounds, melodies, characteristics, instruments, and composers. This preconcert experience makes each school performance personal, safe, intellectually accessible, and profoundly 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. Instruction is sequential, age-appropriate, standards-based, and individualized for unique learning needs. Strings in Our Schools students go on to enroll in their public-school orchestra programs at the middle school level, taking their musical study to ever-higher levels.
Without Strings in Our Schools, these elementary-level students would miss the opportunity to learn the violin or be fully prepared to play in middle school orchestras.
Guitar in Our Schools
The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival created Guitar in Our Schools in 2016 to provide elementary school students with sequential 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. As an initiative providing direct instruction, Guitar in Our Schools allows students to learn multiple aspects of guitar playing through twice-weekly lessons. Students also perform in two concerts every school year at special Kha’p’o Community School events.

Dream Big Private Lesson Program
The Dream Big Private Lesson Program caters to low-income, underserved music students in public middle and high schools. It offers weekly subsidized private lessons taught at school by accomplished, professional musicians on each student’s chosen instrument, including voice. Public-school performing ensembles— such as band, choir, guitar ensemble, or string orchestra—require students to carry sophisticated parts with accurate and precise musical independence. Private lessons enable students to master their parts and perform with confidence and artistry, contributing to their ensembles as valued team members. Dream Big students rise to the top of their performing groups and play for honors ensembles at the regional and state levels. Dream Big students often continue music study at the university level, pursuing music as their life path. Perhaps most importantly, Dream Big also gives students one more caring, capable adult they can bond with and rely upon during vulnerable teenage years. Dream Big students are hopeful that musicianship will be a way for them to express themselves and contribute to their communities as adults. Dream Big fuels that hope and enables them to achieve their dreams.
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. Interactive concerts are held during the Festival’s summer season at 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. 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, as well as hundreds of students from public schools and summer camps.

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 2021 Radio Broadcasts Every year, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival airs 13 radio broadcasts on stations around the country as well as on its website. The broadcasts are part of the Festival’s national Radio Series, which is produced and distributed by the WFMT Radio Network, and feature high-quality recordings of live performances from the previous year’s Festival season. This year, because we canceled our 2020 season due to the worldwide coronavirus pandemic, and because we’re beginning to look to our 50th anniversary season in 2023, our 2021 Radio Broadcasts spotlight performances from 1999 through 2019, in celebration of our rich artistic history. The repertoire spans six centuries—from Dowland’s seminal 16th-century song “Come, Heavy Sleep” to Knussen’s 21st-century masterpiece Requiem: Songs for Sue—and the performances showcase many cherished friends of the Festival, such as cellist Lynn Harrell, pianists Leon Fleisher and Peter Serkin, violinist Ida Kavafian, flutist Tara Helen O’Connor, the Dover Quartet, and the Orion String Quartet, among others. As always, the broadcasts include commentary from the series’s hosts—WFMT’s Kerry Frumkin and the Festival’s Artistic Director, Marc Neikrug—as well as Festival musicians. For more information, visit RadioNetwork.WFMT.com/programs. To stream our 2021 Radio Broadcasts—as well as broadcasts that go all the way back to 2007—visit SantaFeChamberMusic .com/radio-programs.

| Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival 2021 ∙ The 48th Season
please consider donating the cash value of your tickets to the Festival, which is a 100 percent tax-deductible contribution. Prior to the performance, you can donate your tickets in person at the Festival’s Ticket Office (see address in previous column) or via email at tickets@sfcmf.org. When emailing, please include the name of the person who purchased the tickets, the date and time of the performance, the number of seats to be donated (and the seat numbers, if possible), and the order number, if possible. The Festival cannot accept donated tickets via phone. We appreciate receiving your ticket donations as soon as possible so that we can increase our chance of reselling the tickets. You’ll receive a receipt for tax purposes, and you’ll give other music lovers the opportunity to hear a live Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival performance. Please note: Once you donate a ticket, your donation is final, and the ticket is instantly made available for resale. COVID SAFETY PROTOCOLS The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, with guidance from medical experts and local public health authorities, has developed best-practice COVID safety protocols that meet or exceed recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Mexico Department of Health. All Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival staff members are fully vaccinated. Vaccinations are strongly encouraged, but they’re not required for entry to Festival concerts. Face masks are required inside our venues at all times, regardless of your vaccination status. Musicians will perform onstage without masks. For details and further information about the Festival’s COVID safety protocols, please visit SantaFeChamberMusic.com/CovidUpdates.
PATRONS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS The Festival provides wheelchair seating, accommodations for guide dogs and walkers, and other assistance. Please notify the Ticket Office of your needs when ordering tickets. EMERGENCIES Medical or other emergencies should be brought to the attention of a museum guard, a Festival volunteer (look for their teal-colored sash), or a Festival staff member. RECORDING AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES The use of cameras and other recording and electronic devices is not permitted in the Festival’s concert halls. Out of consideration for the Festival’s musicians and your fellow concertgoers, please turn off your cell phone, alarm watch, pager, and other electronic devices before your concert begins. LATE SEATING Concerts begin promptly at indicated times. Out of consideration for the Festival’s musicians and your fellow concertgoers, and to minimize distractions, latecomers or those leaving a performance in progress will not be readmitted to the concert until an appropriate time as determined by a member of the Festival’s staff or a Festival volunteer. Please remember that traffic, parking, and weather can affect your arrival time. We suggest arriving 30 minutes prior to the concert to allow time to find your seat and get ready for the performance. The Festival assumes no responsibility for portions of any concert missed due to lateness and cannot make any adjustment to the ticket price. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.
INCLEMENT WEATHER The Festival is committed to honoring its concert schedule; therefore, performances proceed on time regardless of weather conditions or traffic delays. The Festival regrets that tickets not used due to inclement weather or traffic delays cannot be refunded, exchanged, or returned for a tax receipt. LENGTH OF CONCERTS Performance length varies, but most evening concerts last about two hours, including intermission. Noon and Saturday concerts last about one hour and do not have an intermission. CHILDREN ATTENDING CONCERTS Children ages five and older may attend concerts with tickets 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. 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 member of the Festival’s staff or a Festival 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.
FOR MORE INFORMATION If you want to receive future Festival mailings, such as our 2022 season brochure, or if you want to stay in touch with the Festival through our monthly electronic newsletter, visit our website at SantaFeChamberMusic.com. Please note: all programs, artists, and performance dates are subject to change.
JEWELRY AND FRAGRANCES Please avoid wearing jewelry and accessories that make noise and any scented personal products that can compromise the health and comfort of other concertgoers.
