Join us For Our Spectacular 52nd Season
The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is one of the most respected and renowned chamber music festivals in the world, and part of its allure, for audiences and musicians alike, is that it draws inspiration from its namesake hometown, which is famously and affectionately known as the City Different.
Schedule of Events
12:00 pm - 1:10 pm - Ravel and Shepherd at New Mexico Museum of Art
Ran Dank gives the Festival’s first-ever performance of Rachmaninoff’s original, 1913 version of his Piano Sonata No. 2—a massive work with regard to its drama, intensity, and virtuosic demands—and Leila Josefowicz and Paul Watkins play a very different kind of work by Ravel: the lean and animated (yet also highly demanding) Sonata for Violin and Cello, written in tribute to Debussy. Before both works, Josefowicz and Watkins open the program with the New Mexico premiere of a Festival-commissioned piece by Sean Shepherd, whom The New York Times hailed as "an exciting composer of the new American generation."
