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.

The third and final piano-vocal recital of the season features the award-winning Russian American soprano Erika Baikoff, in her Festival debut, and Festival-favorite pianist Julius Drake performing a stirring program of 19th-century works that includes some of Schubert’s most beloved songs, a brilliant but lesser-known gem by Liszt, and a collection of captivating romances by Tchaikovsky.

6:00 pm - 7:40 pm - Bridge and Mendelssohn

An eerie piano trio that many consider to be 20th-century English composer Frank Bridge’s masterpiece—performed here by pianist Orion Weiss, violinist Jennifer Frautschi, and cellist Felix Fan—is juxtaposed with two considerably more lighthearted works: Beethoven’s variations (for two oboes and English horn) on Mozart’s famous Don Giovanni duet "Là ci darem la mano" and Mendelssohn’s exuberant Op. 87, the second of his two viola quintets.
