On the Cover

Nora Naranjo Morse

Woman. Cello. Glitter. Sound. (ca. 2022–23) Clay, wood, metal 14 ½” x 9”

From the artist: “Woman. Cello. Glitter. Sound. incorporates traditional Pueblo pottery techniques with clays mined in northern New Mexico to create a sculpture celebrating music.

“WCGS is made from Kha’p’o and micaceous clays. The micaceous clay comes from a pocket of land high in the mountains of La Madera, New Mexico, where mica flecks cover the ground. WCGS ’s form is simple, with a continuous line that creates a visual flow from the cello to the woman to the stool she sits on to play her music.

“The gathering of materials and the experimentation with concept and form were intentionally created in celebration of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s 50th anniversary."

—Nora Naranjo Morse

Welcome to Our 50th Season

Dear Friends of the Festival,

We’re thrilled to have you join us this summer, as we mark a very special time in our history: our 50th anniversary season. Over the course of six weeks—when we present more than 40 concerts and 100-plus artists—and throughout the pages of this program book, we showcase everything that makes the Festival extraordinary—yesterday, today, and always.

The Festival draws inspiration from its namesake hometown, which is famously and affectionately known as the City Different. And things are different here, both in Santa Fe and at the Festival.

From our very first concert in 1973, we’ve made our primary home in the Pueblo Revival–style St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art, which dates to 1917, and artists and audiences alike—who come from around the city, state, country, and world—experience our concerts amid the splendor of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and the abundance of multicultural offerings that make Santa Fe unique.

Our unrivaled programming is thoughtful and innovative. It makes an indelible impression on our audience, casting an enchantment of its own through an exciting combination of wide-ranging repertoire performed by the world's finest chamber musicians.

But at the heart of our success and singularity are our relationships—with our musicians, composers, and you, our audience and community. Many of you have supported us and shared your love of chamber music with us for years or even decades. And you’re the reason we’re here 50 years after we presented our very first concert, and you’re the reason we’ll still be here 50 years from now.

Thank you for making everything we do possible, and thank you for celebrating this momentous musical milestone with us.

We hope you enjoy our 50th anniversary season.

Vibrations in the Air

THE HUSBAND-AND-WIFE DUO of pianist Alicia Schachter-Rich and music and film producer Sheldon Rich were visiting Santa Fe from New York City when they got the idea to create an international chamber music festival in the high-desert city famously nicknamed the City Different, which they’d become enchanted with.

“We went to Santa Fe on our vacation in 1972,” Rich told The New York Times in 1979. “There were many well-known painters, writers and photographers. I asked them what there was besides their particular work … [and] asked how they’d react to a few concerts. They responded positively, and one person connected with the National Endowment for the Arts decided the idea was great. That led, as we hoped, to a grant. There was a groundswell of enthusiasm. Directors of the [Santa Fe Opera] gave us a lot of advice and suggestions. The local St. John’s College promised to lend us chairs and pianos. Georgia O’Keeffe, who has become one of the festival’s best friends, let us use her art for posters. In 1973, our first year, we gave six concerts.”

Those six concerts were held in St. Francis Auditorium, today’s primary home for Festival concerts, and there were additional performances in other New Mexico and Arizona communities. The Festival grew steadily every year, and, in 1984, Rich told The Christian Science Monitor: “The idea caught on like wildfire. Everyone wanted this chamber music.’’

Today—50 years after the first Festival concerts were performed in the summer of 1973—everyone still wants this chamber music. And the Festival’s current leadership believes people will want it 50 years from now, too.

FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, two things about the Festival were clear: It would feature the highest-quality artistry, and it would be an integral part of the local community.

In its first program book, the Festival paid homage to two extraordinary but very different artists: cellist Pablo Casals (1876–1973), whom Schachter-Rich had studied chamber music with in Switzerland, and painter Georgia O’Keeffe (1887–1986), who was one of New Mexico’s most famous residents. The program book opened by noting that Casals, who was also a composer and conductor, was the Festival’s honorary president. In a mission statement of sorts, the Festival said:

In the David Aubrey–directed documentary Vibrations in the Air—which the Festival commissioned in honor of its 50th anniversary and is available on our website, SantaFeChamberMusic.org—Festival Artistic Director Marc Neikrug and several of the Festival’s longtime collaborators share their thoughts on what makes the Festival so special.

“[The Festival has] one of the most sophisticated audiences anywhere in the world. The musicians that come—and they’re global, they’re superstars— all remark about this audience. And I want to find a way where [the] audience is always comfortable having something they’re familiar with and, at the same time, open to the expanse of what this music is.”

—MARC NEIKRUG, PIANIST, COMPOSER, FESTIVAL ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

“It is quite magical to come here to make music, being surrounded and inspired and nourished.”

—KIRILL

GERSTEIN, PIANO

“The amount of repertoire that’s covered in the length of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is extraordinary.”

—TODD

LEVY, CLARINET

“The repertoire is very adventurous here, so this is not only sort of the international standard fare; [it’s also] things that truly deviate from the standard fare [and] need to be heard.”

—KIRILL

GERSTEIN

“[In Santa Fe,] you have this enormity of space above you, but [there’s also] this beautiful earth and there’s the smell of juniper in the air. Then you put a chamber music festival in this beautiful place with world-class chamber music musicians playing together, [and] you get incredible creativity.”

—TARA

HELEN O’CONNOR, FLUTE

“It became known that only the best people play here, that they love it, that the audience is magnificent, and everything surrounding it is beautiful.”

—MARC

NEIKRUG

continued

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, inspired by the example of Maestro Casals, is designed to serve the people of New Mexico.

It is an affirmation of Maestro Casals’ belief that music is an international language that can be understood by all people and a heritage that belongs to all people.

In dedicating the Inaugural Concert to Maestro Casals, we remind ourselves of our commitment to those ideals which he has served throughout his life—peace and brotherhood—and to follow the example of a man who, in the words of Thomas Mann, “is one of those artists who comes to the rescue of humanity’s honor.”

With regard to O’Keeffe, the Festival acknowledged the striking image that adorned that first program book, writing: “Miss Georgia O’Keeffe, in allowing reproduction of her painting Music—Pink and Blue No. 1 [1918] on the cover of the announcement brochure and this program, has added great beauty to the Festival. We gratefully acknowledge Georgia O’Keeffe’s generous contribution.”

The bar for excellence, it had been made abundantly clear, was set very high for the Festival from day one,

and over the course of the past half century, that bar has remained in its elevated position. As you’ll see over the next several pages of this 2023 program book—where we present highlights of our first 50 years—the Festival, which, in 1997, The New York Times called a “phenomenon in the high desert,” has maintained and exceeded the founders’ initial expectations in new and exciting ways.

“I am very pleased at the position of the Festival today,” says composer and pianist Marc Neikrug, who’s served as the Festival’s Artistic Director since 1998. “It is exemplary in its insistence on presenting concerts of the highest artistic quality and programming that is uncompromising in its exploration of iconic masterpieces as well as neglected works from the past and a substantial presentation of the music of our time. Santa Fe,” he adds, “is a cultural and spiritual mecca unequaled in our country, and that’s mirrored in the experiences that the Festival provides.”

50 Years!

Over the course of the next few pages, we’re sharing illustrated highlights—taken directly from our archives— that showcase the evolution of the Festival throughout its first half century.

1972

Pianist Alicia Schachter-Rich (1935–2012) and producer Sheldon Rich (1932–2020) establish the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival.

1973

The Festival presents its first season from June 24 through July 29. Six Sunday concerts are held in St. Francis Auditorium in the Museum of Fine Arts (now known as the New Mexico Museum of Art), and seven additional concerts are held outside Santa Fe in communities such as Albuquerque, Chimayó, Los Alamos, and Window Rock, Arizona.

Schachter-Rich is the Festival’s first artistic director, a position she holds through 1991. Bergère Kenney is the Festival’s president, Rich is the Festival’s vice president and project director, and Rich and SchachterRich are board members.

The inaugural concert—which opens with Mozart’s Piano Quartet in E-flat Major, K. 493—is dedicated to legendary cellist Pablo Casals, who serves as the Festival’s honorary president. Casals dies in October 1973, at age 96, three months after the conclusion of the Festival’s first season.

“Something that sets the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival apart is its fearlessness in its programming. There’s a real courage here in putting on things that challenge the audience [and] musicians, and there’s a real sense of palpable excitement and a sense of risk-taking.”

—GILLES VONSATTEL, PIANO

“Marc is a full musician, and he’s, of course, a wonderful, important, distinguished composer, but [he’s also] an important pianist who has performed for many, many years on all the greatest world stages. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of the chamber music repertoire, and it’s really about trust. He makes combinations that are daring and unexpected, and he presents new music. It’s one thing to believe in contemporary music. It’s another thing to actually be one of the important producers of music.”

—ALAN GILBERT, CONDUCTOR, VIOLINIST, VIOLIST

“Marc has an incredible knowledge of repertoire, [and] he’s also a great cook. He approaches the programs very much like he approaches cooking. It’s about getting the ingredients right. He [also has] a wonderful feel for where to place new pieces so that they speak to audiences [and] sing with the other pieces that are on the program. They’re thought-provoking [and] great combinations of pieces. That’s always just a pleasure to behold.”

—BRETT DEAN, COMPOSER AND VIOLIST

“[One] of the reasons this is one of my favorite festivals to play in [is] because [Marc] knows how to match people; he knows how to match repertoire. That’s an art form to be able to do that, and that’s what this festival brings.”

—ERIC KIM, CELLO

“This was just so wonderful to arrive here and know that I get to play with friends who I’ve known for years.”

—LEILA JOSEFOWICZ, VIOLIN

“[The Festival] is music-making for all the right reasons.”

—ALAN

Above: Pianist Alfred Brendel, inaugural season, 1973

The season’s 14 artists include such luminaries as Schachter-Rich, pianist Alfred Brendel, cellist Claus Adam, and mezzo-soprano Jean Kraft.

New Mexico resident Georgia O’Keeffe loans one of her iconic paintings— Music—Pink and Blue No. 1 (1918)—to the Festival for use on its first program-book cover, establishing a tradition that endures for the Festival’s first 20 seasons (and for six years after O’Keeffe’s death, in 1986, at age 98).

Throughout the early years of the Festival, musicians give private performances for O’Keeffe at various locations.

The Festival offers free open rehearsals in locations around Santa Fe and in Albuquerque.

1974

In addition to its six Sunday-evening concerts in St. Francis Auditorium, the Festival adds three Tuesday night recitals at St. John’s College.

Festival musicians tour to Albuquerque, Gallup, Los Alamos, and Window Rock, Arizona.

1975

The Festival starts to grow financially, thanks to grants and donations from foundations, local businesses, and individuals.

The season expands to include Friday and Wednesday lecture/ performances, which include lectures by four Festival artists: pianist Alfred Brendel, violinist Mark Kaplan, violist John Graham, and cellist Claus Adam.

Festival artists give a special concert in the home of New Mexico Governor Jerry Apodaca.

The first Festival concert in the Santuario de Guadalupe is presented in cooperation with the Guadalupe Historic Foundation in honor of the church’s restoration.

Festival musicians tour to Abiquiú, Los Alamos, Portales, and Window Rock, Arizona.

With underwriting support from the Driscoll family, the Festival creates and sells its first poster, which features O’Keeffe’s painting Ladder to the Moon (1958). Posters become an important source of revenue for the Festival in its early years, and O’Keeffe’s iconic images help convey the quality of the Festival.

The Arriaga Quartet is the first ensemble to play at the Festival. The season’s opening and closing concerts are dedicated to the memory of Casals.

1976

The Festival collaborates with the Santa Fe Brass Choir and other local musicians in a special ecumenical service commemorating the 200th anniversary of the United States at St. Francis Cathedral.

Festival artists perform in an outdoor concert at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiú. Additional touring concerts are performed in Gallup, Los Alamos, Silver City, and Window Rock, Arizona.

Left and right: Festival musicians performing for and attending a postconcert reception with O’Keeffe ca. 1980

William Schuman, winner of the first Pulitzer Prize for Music (in 1943), is the Festival’s first Composer-in-Residence. Schuman falls ill and is unable to travel to Santa Fe, but the Festival presents several of his works, including CaseyattheBat:ABaseballCantata(1976).

1977

The Festival celebrates its fifth anniversary. Iconic American composer Aaron Copland is the Festival’s Composer-in-Residence. He participates with musicians in a discussion-rehearsal in St. Francis Auditorium, and the Festival

“It's impossible not to be inspired. The atmosphere of the city itself, the landscape, the nature…”

—ALAN GILBERT

“The Festival is a very particular dynamic, because you come together, in many cases, never having met before, and you have a sort of short, intense time together. So you’ve got a couple of days to get to know one another and put it together, and that brings with it this immediacy, this spontaneity, particularly with the level of players that come to Santa Fe.”

—BRETT DEAN

“One thing that is very particular about how Marc brings people together is the intergenerational aspect of Santa Fe—of bringing young, up-and-coming artists together with established artists, this sense of passing of baton. … Why I’ve really loved the return visits over the years to Santa Fe is that it brought me into contact with this whole other world of just fantastic chamber music players.”

—BRETT DEAN

“I need to be here, and I need to be with these people, and I need to be in this space. It’s good for my soul, it’s good for my head, it’s good for my artistry. I feel like I grow when I play with people like this.”

—TARA HELEN O’CONNOR

presents an evening that features screenings of films he wrote music for as well as commentary from the composer, who once called the Festival “an amazing accomplishment.” The Festival also performs several other Copland works, including his Sextet for Clarinet, Piano, and String Quartet (1937).

“[Audiences are] going to walk into [our] hall and walk out an hour or two later transformed. You’ve got humans sitting on a stage, making vibrations in the air from these instruments, which have been developed over hundreds of years, which are capable of doing that in a very sophisticated way. These vibrations have the capability of communicating emotions much better than language, much more direct. It brings us to a different place in our lives.”

—MARC NEIKRUG

The Vermeer Quartet makes their Festival debut, becoming the second ensemble to perform at the Festival. 1978

To accommodate ticket demand and expand its reach, the Festival repeats its Sunday-evening programs on Monday evenings, a tradition that continues to this day.

Top: A tour to Window Rock, Arizona, in 1976

The Festival further expands its reach with off-season residencies in Seattle and New York City.

George Rochberg serves as Composer-in-Residence, and the Concord String Quartet plays his Quartets Nos. 4, 5, and 6, which he wrote for them and which they’d premiered earlier in the year. The Concord String Quartet joins Rochberg and pianist Alan Marks for a lecture-performance, featuring the composer’s Piano Quintet (1975), at the Santuario de Guadalupe. 1980

The Museum of Fine Arts undergoes a renovation, so the Festival uses the College of Santa Fe’s Greer Garson Theatre and the Santuario de Guadalupe for its concerts.

The Festival becomes the first American music festival to be broadcast nationwide via satellite when its New York residency at the 92nd St. Y is carried on 150 National Public Radio stations.

The Festival gives the world premiere of its first commissioned work: Composer-in-Residence and Pulitzer Prize winner Ned Rorem’s The Santa Fe Songs, which is scored for baritone, violin, viola, cello, and piano and features 12 poems by Santa Fe poet Witter Bynner. Rorem had been called “the world’s best composer of art songs—a master writer for the human voice” by Time Magazine, and The New York Times called The Santa Fe Songs “a milestone of recent American composition.” For a list of every Festival-commissioned work throughout the Festival’s history, see page 27.

1981

John Harbison serves as Composer-inResidence, a position he holds again in 1991 and 2002.

Festival concerts are held at the Santuario de Guadalupe, the Capitol Rotunda, Greer Garson Theatre, and the Great Hall of St. John’s College.

1982

The Festival celebrates its 10th season and returns to its renovated and refurbished home in St. Francis Auditorium. Aaron Copland attends a Festival performance of his Piano Quartet (1950) by violinist Rose Mary Harbison, violist Geraldine Walther, cellist Carter Brey, and pianist Ursula Oppens.

The Festival inaugurates its residency in La Jolla, California, and continues its Seattle residency.

The Festival presents its first Youth Concerts.

Fort Worth Productions makes a documentary about the Festival and its impact on the chamber music scene in the United States.

A Festival recording of Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht and Trio for Violin, Viola, and Cello is hailed as the best chamber music release of the year by the London Times and one of the top 12 classical recordings of the year by Newsweek magazine. Artists include violinists Ani Kavafian, Daniel Phillips, and Yuuko Shiokawa; violists Heiichiro Ohyama and Walter Trampler; and cellists Timothy Eddy and Ralph Kirshbaum.

Festival Memories from Our Longtime Friends

BOB HILGENDORF AND LING TONG

On a windy day in 1973, I went to a Festival performance in Window Rock, Arizona, the Navajo Nation capital. It was so windy that the players, whose sheet music was blowing off the music stands, couldn’t perform! I moved to Santa Fe in 1974 and have attended 50 years of performances without interruption. I bought three-dollar rush tickets in the early years. During the last decades, Ling and I have hosted musicians and rehearsals in our home, making many friends with Festival staff and artists. We feel extremely privileged to have had these connections with the Festival.

SHARON AND LEW SIBERT

Summer, 1987. Our first Santa Fe visit. Caught in a downpour, we quickly sought shelter in the museum. Hearing music, we entered the auditorium. It was a rehearsal. We moved toward the front and took a seat. Moments later, a leaking roof gutter dumped into the auditorium, ending the rehearsal. We had to come back to see what we missed! And we’ve come back faithfully for over three decades. Every summer. The backbone of our chamber music education. Many superb

performances and memories. Thank you, Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, and congrats on #Fifty.

JAMES ORTH

I started coming to the Festival with family members in 1991 and have come every year since except for 2012 and 2013. I’ve met some of my best friends at the Festival, people I still cherish when we meet in Santa Fe every summer. One standout memory is an open rehearsal that took place on a rainy Friday afternoon in the mid-’90s. Pianist Christopher O’Riley was working on a piece, and he eventually played it all the way through. He was clearly in a zone, and it was a spiritual experience for me. Another unforgettable experience was my all-time favorite Festival group, the Orion String Quartet, playing Beethoven’s Op. 132 in the ’90s. Early during the Sunday concert, one of violinist Daniel Phillips’s strings broke! The performance of the same work the following night was magical—truly a transcendent experience. Ever since then, I’ve tried to attend both the Sunday and Monday concerts to see how different they might be. It’s been quite an educational experience in recognizing differences in nuance of playing.

Mezzo-soprano Susan Graham serves at the Festival’s first-ever Artist-in-Residence. A highlight of her residency is a set of performances of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with tenor Paul Groves and conductor David Zinman.

Yuja Wang, who made her Festival debut early in her career (in 2005, at age 18), closes out the season by performing Beethoven’s Archduke Trio alongside violinist Benny Kim and cellist Lynn Harrell.

NANCY MEEM WIRTH

My son, Peter, remembers going to his first Festival concert with my parents, John and Faith Meem, when he was 10. I was on the board for six years (1987–93). More recently, my daughter-in-law, Carol Romero Wirth, was also a board member. The family, including my grandchildren, continues to attend concerts. We consider ourselves a Festival family!

LISA M. ENFIELD

My family moved to Santa Fe from Roswell in the mid-1970s, when I was a young adolescent. One of the most remarkable aspects of that move was our introduction to live performing arts. The Festival was in its earliest years then, and my parents took every opportunity to attend, with all three children in tow. I will never forget the wonder and awe I felt attending those first live concerts. They were transporting and gave me a wondrous sense of the world far beyond New Mexico in a time before mass global communications. And yet the Festival remained grounded in New Mexico, too, as evidenced by the years’ worth of Georgia O’Keeffe Festival posters that were hung all over our home. The Festival was—and, decades later, remains —a magical and transformative experience.

As part of her turn as the Festival’s second Artist-in-Residence, soprano Dawn Upshaw performs Osvaldo Golijov’s song cycle Ayre (2004), which he wrote for her and which she recorded in 2005.

The Festival launches its Albuquerque Series with two evening concerts in Simms Auditorium at the Albuquerque Academy. The series grows to include more evening concerts over the years before concluding at the end of the 2018 season.

2012

The Festival celebrates its 40th season, with major events including the three-day symposium Music, the Brain, Medicine, and Wellness: A Scientific Dialogue, co-presented by the Festival, the University of New Mexico Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation for Cancer Research.

2013

The Festival launches its annual, mentorshipbased Young Composers String Quartet Project, with the FLUX Quartet giving the world premieres of Festival-commissioned works by the three inaugural participants: composers Reena Esmail, David Hertzberg, and Elizabeth Ogonek.

2015

Artist-in-Residence Alan Gilbert conducts a 44-member chamber orchestra, which includes four soloists, in Messiaen’s Des canyons aux étoiles… (From the Canyons to the Stars…)—a work he conducts again in 2023 in celebration of the Festival’s 50th anniversary. The Festival releases a live recording of the 2015 performance the following year.

Pianist Peter Serkin makes his Festival debut as Artist-in-Residence, performing repertoire that spans the 16th through the 20th centuries.

The Festival launches its Guitar in Our Schools program. Today, the program offers twice-weekly lessons to students in grades 3–6 at the Ramirez Thomas and Sweeney elementary schools in Santa Fe.

Doug Fitch returns to design and direct a new production of Stravinsky’s L’Histoire du soldat conducted by John Storgårds and narrated by Wallace Shawn.

Alan Gilbert returns to serve as Artist-in-Residence, a position he holds again in 2015 and 2018.

The members of the Guarneri Quartet reunite for a special appearance at the Festival, collaborating with other musicians (including pianist Joyce Yang for Franck’s Piano Quintet and violinists Jennifer Gilbert, Harvey de Souza, and Alan Gilbert and cellist Eric Kim for Mendelssohn’s Octet) as part of the Festival’s anniversary celebration and symposium offerings.

The Festival takes over the Dream Big Private Lesson Program, founded by Leanne DeVane at Santa Fe Public Schools. Today, Dream Big offers weekly low- and no-cost private lessons to students at two middle schools and one high school in Santa Fe.

The Festival presents an all-star lineup for its first-ever performance of Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn, and Strings, which features tenor Paul Appleby and Berlin Philharmonic Principal Horn Stefan Dohr and is conducted by David Zinman.

Violinist Ida Kavafian and pianist Anne-Marie McDermott perform, for the first time in the Festival’s history, the complete cycle of Beethoven’s Sonatas for Violin and Piano.

The Festival expands its Music at Noon series to include Wednesday concerts, which primarily showcase piano-vocal recitals.

The Dover Quartet and pianist Haochen Zhang bring the Festival’s 49th season to a close with a performance of Schumann’s Piano Quintet. The performance also marks the final appearance of all four founding members of the audience-favorite Dover Quartet, who made their Festival debut in 2014.

The Festival presents the New Mexico premiere of a new work by Neikrug called A Song by Mahler, which he describes as “a combination of theater and music” and features the talents of mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnson Cano, baritone Kelly Markgraf, clarinetist David Shifrin, and the FLUX Quartet. The production is directed and designed by Doug Fitch.

The newly formed Chien-Kim-Watkins Trio (pianist Gloria Chien, violinist Soovin Kim, and cellist Paul Watkins) performs, for the first time in the Festival’s history, a cycle of the Beethoven Piano Trios over the course of a single season.

The Festival presents its 50th anniversary season, which features more than 40 concerts and 100-plus artists.

The Festival releases the documentary Vibrations in the Air, directed by David Aubrey, in honor of its anniversary. The film can be viewed for free on SantaFeChamberMusic.org.

2023 Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival Commissioned Works and a History of Festival Commissions

One of the Festival’s most distinctive features is its long, celebrated history of bringing new music to life through its championing of living composers— from the most important and influential to the most intriguing up-and-comers. Since 1980, when the Festival presented its first commissioned work—Pulitzer Prize winner 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—the Festival has presented at least one commissioned work almost every year.

At the conclusion of its 50th season this summer, the Festival will have presented the world, US, or New Mexico premieres of 115 commissioned works, including ones by Ryan Chase, Christopher Stark, Charlotte Bray, and Magnus Lindberg. These four new works are among a total of seven that the Festival commissioned to celebrate its milestone anniversary, with ones by Kaija Saariaho, Shulamit Ran, and Detlev Glanert having been premiered during the 2022 season. This summer, the Festival also premieres commissioned works by Ryan Lindveit and

The first 2023 premiere takes place on July 20, when five musicians—pianist Gilles Vonsattel, violinists Yura Lee and William Hagen, violist Toby Appel, and cellist Felix Fan— give the world-premiere performance of the Piano Quintet by the celebrated and eclectic composer Ryan Chase, who

Clockwise from left: Ryan Chase, Christopher Stark, Charlotte Bray, and Magnus Lindberg

returns to the Festival after having served as one of its Young Composers in 2014.

Chase was born in Port Jefferson, New York, in 1987. His music has been described as “the stuff of memory” by Bloomington, Indiana’s The Herald-Times and a “whirlwind” and “deftly explored contrasts of mood, from bombastic to introverted” by The New York Times. Among the ensembles that have performed and recorded his works are the American Composers Orchestra, the Chelsea and Albany symphony orchestras, the Mivos and FLUX quartets, Alarm Will Sound, Contemporaneous, Collage New Music, the Society for New Music, and the Texas State University Wind Symphony. His honors include a Fromm Commission, a Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, multiple awards from ASCAP and BMI, and an Emmy Award nomination. He earned degrees from the Mannes School of Music and Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music, and he currently serves as an assistant

professor of music at Colgate University in Hamilton, New York.

Next, on August 3, pianist Juho Pohjonen, Cleveland Orchestra Assistant Concertmaster Jessica Lee, and cellist Zlatomir Fung give the world premiere of Other Pines by Christopher Stark, who describes his music as being “deeply rooted in the American West.” Stark, who, in 2016, also served as one of the Festival’s Young Composers, was born in St. Ignatius, Montana, in 1980. He spent his formative years in rural western Montana, and, he says, his music, which has been called “fetching and colorful” by The New York Times, seeks to “capture the expansive energy of [that] quintessential American landscape." Stark has received prizes from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, ASCAP, the Fromm Music Foundation, Chamber Music America, and the Barlow Endowment. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch named him

The day after the premiere of Stark’s new work, on August 4, the FLUX Quartet gives the US premiere of Charlotte Bray’s Ungrievable Lives, which is the composer’s first-ever string quartet and takes its name and inspiration from an art installation by Caroline Burraway that honors the world’s 13 million child refugees. The installation features 13 dresses made from discarded life jackets worn by the refugees, and it was displayed in the foyer of the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg during the premiere of Bray’s quartet in April 2022. The quartet was co-commissioned by the Festival and Elbphilharmonie Hamburg as well as by Wigmore Hall and the Kuhmo Chamber Music Festival.

Bray was born in Oxford, England, in 1982 and is today one of the most esteemed composers of her generation. Her music is known for its expressiveness, and it’s been performed by the BBC Symphony Orchestra, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Aurora Orchestra, and Birmingham Contemporary Music Group. It’s also been heard at such festivals as Aixen-Provence, Aldeburgh, the BBC Proms, Cheltenham, Tanglewood, and Verbier and led in performances by Marin Alsop, Karina Canellakis, Jessica Cottis, Sir Mark Elder, Daniel

Harding, and Oliver Knussen. Bray’s honors include a 2019 Ivor Novello Award, the 2014 Lili Boulanger Prize, and a 2014 Critics’ Circle Award for Exceptional Young Talent; she's also served as composer-in-residence for the Birmingham Contemporary Music Group in a partnership with Sound and Music (2009–10), the Oxford Lieder Festival (2011), and the Hatfield House Chamber Music Festival (2015). Bray graduated from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and earned a master’s in composition from the Royal College of Music in London. She also participated in the Britten-Pears Contemporary Composition Course and studied at the Tanglewood Music Center.

The last premiere of the season is on August 9, when the Festival presents the world premiere of the Quintet for Piano and Winds by Magnus Lindberg, performed by pianist Katia Skanavi, New Jersey Symphony Principal Oboe Robert Ingliss, Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Principal Clarinet Todd Levy, Nashville Symphony Principal Bassoon Julia Harguindey, and Berlin Philharmonic Principal Horn Stefan Dohr.

Lindberg—whom the Festival commissioned and premiered works from in 2006, 2012, and 2018—was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1958 and has been called “one of the major voices of 21st-century composition” by The New York Times. He studied at the Sibelius Academy with acclaimed Finnish composers Einojuhani Rautavaara and Paavo Heininen. He also studied in Paris with avant-garde composer Vinko Globokar and spectral-music pioneer Gérard Grisey; in Siena, Italy, with modernist Franco Donatoni; and in Darmstadt with Brian Ferneyhough, a leading figure of the New Complexity movement. Lindberg, who’s also a virtuoso pianist, began earning international acclaim in the early 1980s, when he founded the Toimii Ensemble with fellow Finnish composer Esa-Pekka Salonen and other musicians from the Sibelius Academy and premiered his experimental, large-scale works Action-Situation-Signification (1982) and Kraft (1983–85). Lindberg has served as composer-in-residence for the New York Philharmonic (2009–12), SWR Radio Symphony Orchestra Stuttgart (2011–12), and London Philharmonic Orchestra (2014–17), and his works are performed by the world’s leading orchestras, including the Berlin and Los Angeles philharmonics; the Chicago, San Francisco, and Finnish Radio symphony orchestras; and Ensemble intercontemporain. His honors include the Prix Italia, Nordic Council Music Prize, Koussevitzky Prize, Royal Philharmonic Society Prize, and Wihuri Sibelius Prize.

Young Composers String Quartet Project

This summer, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival showcases the talents of Angela Elizabeth Slater and Ryan Lindveit for its 10th annual Young Composers String Quartet Project. New, Festival-commissioned works by these inspiring, emerging artists will be premiered by the distinguished FLUX Quartet in St. Francis Auditorium on August 4. by Emily Van Cleve

“To be commissioned by the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is an absolute honor,” says Angela Elizabeth Slater, a 33-year-old UKbased composer who directs the Illuminate Women’s Music project, which presents both new and historically neglected musical works written by women. Twentynine-year-old Ryan Lindveit, who recently completed his doctoral degree in composition at the University of Michigan, agrees. “It’s a thrill to be invited to bring my musical voice to Santa Fe this summer,” he says. Slater and Lindveit are the 2023 participants in the Festival’s annual Young Composers String Quartet Project, which has been nurturing up-and-coming composers since its

inception in 2013 by hosting a week-long visit to Santa Fe that includes mentoring from Artistic Director Marc Neikrug, guidance from music-industry professionals, and feedback from the FLUX Quartet, who premieres the participants’ works every season.

Slater and Lindveit share not only a deep love for composing but also the experience of having made pivotal career decisions in their late teens. For Slater, it was deciding to become a professional musician instead of studying pharmacology. “I was composing a piece at the piano when I had an epiphany that I wouldn’t be living properly if I pursued a pharmacy degree,” she explains. Lindveit thought he might be a pre-med student at the University of Southern California

until, during his first year there, he found himself in the hospital with a ruptured appendix. “It became clear to me, as I lay in the hospital for one week, that music is what I wanted to do,” he says. “I actually wrote a string quartet in response to that experience.”

A euphonium and trombone player, Lindveit worked with several exceptional music teachers while growing up in a small community near Houston, Texas. He also studied music theory and composition on his own, and by the end of eighth grade, he was composing band pieces. “My first composing award, a gift of $25,000 to my band program, came during my junior year in high school,” he recalls. Since then, Lindveit’s colorful, kaleidoscopic, emotionally driven and rhythmically engaging compositions have earned him many additional honors, including the BMI Student Composer Award and the Outstanding Graduate Award from USC’s Thornton School of Music. Among the prestigious fellowships he’s enjoyed are ones at the Aspen Music Festival and the Minnesota Orchestra Composer Institute. After completing his bachelor’s degree at USC, he earned a master’s degree from Yale University before pursuing his doctoral work at the University of Michigan.

Slater, who earned her PhD at the University of Nottingham, didn't have robust in-school music programs growing up, but her mother was musical, and she introduced her to the piano and supported her flute studies.

Nature is a big inspiration for Slater, and figuring out the sound of a new piece is key to Lindveit's compositional process.

Slater’s teenage-established routine of composing at the piano continues today, although it took a while for her to find her musical voice. “I looked for female composers who inspired me,” she says. “Some of them embraced gestural energy, while others embraced the disintegration of melody.” A 2017 string quartet that accompanies a poem Slater wrote shortly after completing her PhD was the first work that really captured her compositional style, which she describes as “colorful, expressive, and impassioned.” In recent years, Slater has enjoyed many professional achievements, including serving as a Britten Pears Young Artist and a compositional fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center as well as being selected for the Royal Philharmonic Society Composers program and the London Philharmonic Orchestra Young Composers program.

Before Slater begins writing a new piece of music, she establishes a title for the work to help her know its intention and direction. Having the tactile experience of an instrument in hand is also part of her composition process. And when it comes to ideas, she’s never at a loss. Nature is a big inspiration, and when she composes, she creates “a map of a piece,” she explains. “I literally draw shapes on the manuscript and put in scribbles. Sometimes I add poetry.”

For Lindveit, figuring out the sound of a new piece— developing a central harmonic structure—is key to his compositional process. His string quartet for the Festival, he says, will consist of a series of very short, 30- to 60-secondlong movements. “I want to write pithy movements for the FLUX Quartet,” he adds. “I consider this a great opportunity.”

Marc Neikrug Celebrates 25 Years as the Festival’s Artistic Director

The esteemed composer, pianist, and arts administrator shares the vision he’s always had for the Festival and his hopes for the organization’s future. by Emily

Van Cleve

The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is integrally woven into the life of composer and pianist

Marc Neikrug, who celebrates 25 years as the organization’s Artistic Director—a position he began in 1998 and one that’s been held by just two predecessors.

“The kinds of activities I do now as Artistic Director are ones I was doing before I joined the Festival,” says Neikrug, who was born in New York City and moved permanently to New Mexico in 1988. “What’s wonderful about being the Artistic Director is that the entire staff embraces everything I’ve been interested in and everything we do with great enthusiasm.”

Neikrug’s passions—promoting high-quality new music, supporting talented living composers, bringing the finest players to the Festival, and offering the best possible music education programs to children and youth in the Santa Fe

area—have blossomed during his tenure at the Festival. “More than ever, championing new music is my greatest legacy,” he says. “I continue to do all the programming, staying mindful of the history of Western classical music by offering music from yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I feel a tremendous sense of responsibility for the audience and what they hear. I need to provide them with a broad and inclusive sense of this culture, which is why I feature classical masterpieces and lesser-known pieces by great composers as well as 20th- and 21st-century music.”

When colleagues remark that he’s demonstrating “courage” through his programming, Neikrug changes the direction of the conversation, saying it’s less about courage and more about respect for the audience. “I program ‘up,’ and it works,” he notes. “I believe in the integrity and curiosity

Marc Neikrug and the Variation String Trio following the world premiere of his String Trio in 2017

of audience members. After 25 years, our audiences are as healthy as ever.”

Steven Ovitsky, who’s worked closely with Neikrug since 2004, when he became the Festival’s Executive Director, agrees that Neikrug’s vision has had a transformative effect on the organization. “Over time, the Festival’s audience has grown to not only accept but to really appreciate the new and innovative music that’s an integral part of our seasons,” Ovitsky says. “This broad mix of repertoire is one of the Festival’s strongest features, and it’s a great tribute to Marc’s artistic leadership.”

Out of his many initiatives over the past 25 years, Neikrug is particularly proud of the Festival’s Young Composers

String Quartet Project, which he’s overseen since it began in 2013. Neikrug chooses two up-and-coming composers to participate in the program every year; offers them a Festival commission to write a string quartet, which the FLUX Quartet premieres during a Festival concert; and provides mentoring and feedback along the way. “Music touches us and communicates with us, so I search for young creators who are self-aware and expressive,” he says. “When I look at classical music, I see 500 years of a continuum. The composers who are of most interest to me are adding to this continuum.”

Neikrug is dedicated to making the Young Composers

String Quartet Project not only musically memorable for the composers but personally memorable for them, too, which he does by introducing them to the places in New Mexico that are closest to his heart during their weeklong visit to Santa Fe. Beginning in 2024, the project will be funded by the newly named Neikrug Young Composers Commissioning

Fund, which recognizes Neikrug’s legacy of supporting young composers as well as his and the Festival’s enduring commitment to commissioning new works and contributing to the growth and evolution of the chamber music repertoire.

Another significant way in which Neikrug has reached out to young musicians is through the Festival’s yearround music education programs: Music in Our Schools, Strings in Our Schools, Guitar in Our Schools, the Dream Big Private Lesson Program, and the Summer Youth Concert.

“I remember my first day on the job, a staff member came up to me to ask what we were going to do about music in the schools,” Neikrug says. “We were doing what was colloquially called ‘drive-by concerts’ when I came on board. I developed a whole program for schools—real education with prepared curriculum and trained teachers. Our program

“We are viewed as the standard-bearer of what a classical music organization should be,” Neikrug says. … “I want to make sure we continue to be a shining example for the country.”

is presented in schools in areas of town, particularly the Southside, where music education has not been strong. One of the things that is really important to me,” he adds, “is that our music reaches preschoolers. I’ve always been interested in early childhood development.”

Even after a quarter of a century of commitment to the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival, Neikrug continues to generate tremendous energy for leading the Festival in years to come. “We are viewed as the standard-bearer of what a classical music organization should be,” he says. “The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival has great integrity and excellence. I want to make sure we continue to be a shining example for the country.”

The Gifford Phillips Award 2023 Steven Ovitsky

In 1999, the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival established The Gifford Phillips Award to honor its longtime trustee and former board chairman Gifford Phillips (who passed away in 2013, at the age of 94) and to recognize individuals and organizations that have supported both the Festival and the local performing arts scene. Among the qualities the award’s recipients share are integrity, leadership, and generosity, and this year the Festival is proud to present The Gifford Phillips Award to Festival Executive Director Steven Ovitsky. by Emily Van Cleve

(April 2006–October 2007 and January 2018–October 2019), the Festival has an endowment fund of more than $12.5 million.

Before he joined the Festival, Ovitsky, who was born and raised in Chicago, served as artistic and executive director of the Grant Park Music Festival, vice president and general manager of the Minnesota Orchestra, and president and executive director of the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra— all of which prepared him for his role with the Festival despite the organization’s smaller size and scope. “I very much appreciate the intimacy of the Festival,” Ovitsky says. “I’m basically a city kid who still enjoys city life, but I took to Santa Fe immediately when I arrived in 2004. Managing a large symphony is like running a corporate department store chain,” he adds, “while managing the Festival is like running a small, very high-end boutique, where you’re directly involved in all aspects of the operation, even taking letters to the post office.”

Steven Ovitsky has received many accolades over the course of his distinguished career, but he’s particularly honored to receive the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s Gifford Phillips Award in July.

“This is very meaningful to me,” says Ovitsky, who’s retiring from his 20-season tenure as the Festival’s Executive Director in September. “As the only Festival staff member to receive this award, it feels especially significant joining the distinguished past recipients.”

An accomplished and classically trained horn player, Ovitsky is also a skilled administrator who’s been essential in helping the Festival establish—and maintain—secure financial footing. Although he inherited an organization with a deficit when he became Executive Director in 2004, by the end of his first fiscal year, the Festival was operating with a surplus. Today, after two carefully planned endowment campaigns

Working collaboratively with Artistic Director Marc Neikrug has been an essential part of Ovitsky’s job as well as one of its pleasures. “Marc and I have developed a wonderful partnership through the years,” Ovitsky notes, “and I’ll miss our discussions about music, food, and wine and, of course, our many jokes.”

Neikrug, who joined the Festival six years before Ovitsky did, in 1998, shares Ovitsky’s feelings. “In 20 years of partnership, I don’t recall a single disagreement with Steve,” he says. “His background as a musician infused his every decision as an administrator. He’s been a steadfast supporter of our art form and, through his deep understanding of its fundamental societal values, has made it possible for our organization to thrive. Through the most difficult of times, he never lost sight of our goal to present the highest-quality music performed by the highest-quality musicians. I can’t imagine a more perfect tenure or contribution.”

Throughout his career as an administrator, Ovitsky, who earned a bachelor-of-music degree from the University of

Steven Ovitsky at the Festival's 2021 Gala

Michigan and a master-of-music degree from Northern Illinois University, has always found time to perform with various ensembles, including the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra, the Santa Fe Symphony Orchestra, Opera Southwest, the New York Philomusica Chamber Ensemble, and the Albany Symphony. He’s also played the recorder with the Lyric Opera of Chicago and served as the shofar soloist on the Seattle Symphony Orchestra’s recording of T’kiatot by Hugo Weisgall. His experience as a trained musician, an active performer, and an administrator for renowned orchestras has made him a discerning leader for the Festival. “What’s kept me in Santa Fe all these years is that the quality of the performances at the Festival is so high,” Ovitsky says. “It’s as high as what one finds with the best orchestras in the country. And the Festival presents this level of music on a regular basis.”

Ovitsky alludes to that kind of quality when he recalls one of his fondest memories over the past 20 seasons. “In 2010, David Zinman conducted the chamber version of Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde with mezzo-soprano Susan Graham and tenor Paul Groves, and Leonard Slatkin was conducting at The Santa Fe Opera. David and Leonard were our two main conductors when I was director of the Grant Park Music Festival in Chicago from 1979 through 1990, and they both also conducted when I was with the Minnesota Orchestra. It was great to see both of them here in Santa Fe.”

For Ovitsky, retirement doesn’t necessarily mean abandoning music or leaving Santa Fe, especially given

how much he values the local community. Photography has become an important part of his artistic expression and is something he wants to pursue in greater depth. His photos of Festival concerts are often featured in the organization’s promotional materials.

“I’ve had a long career, working full time since finishing Army service in 1971,” Ovitsky says, “so I’m going to take some time to figure out my next steps.”

The Gifford Phillips Award is being presented to Steven Ovitsky at the season’s opening-night concert, on July 16, 2023. Ovitsky joins the following distinguished previous recipients of the award: Louisa Stude Sarofim, Shirley F. and Charles M. Weiss, Nancy and Bill Zeckendorf, Susan Herter, David and Kay Duke Ingalls, Eugene V. and Clare E. Thaw, Quarrier and Philip Cook, Edgar Foster Daniels, Mara and Chuck Robinson, Betsy and Ted Rogers, Toni and Leshek Zavistovski, Paul King, the New Mexico Museum of Art, Senator Tom Udall and Jill Cooper Udall, and Arnold and Lorlee Tenenbaum.

Annual Fund How YOU Make the Music Happen

Dear Festival Friends,

This summer marks the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival’s highly anticipated 50th anniversary season. Every year, we offer our audience an unforgettable musical experience by presenting a wide range of chamber music performed by the highest-caliber musicians from around the world. Your generosity—as donors, patrons, and valued members of our musical family—makes this glorious music possible, and it’s made our first half century possible, too.

Your support also allows us to bring music into the lives of thousands of children and youth through our year-round music education programs. Music in Our Schools is a series of in-school chamber music concerts for students in pre-K and grades K–6 at 14 schools in Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos, and Pecos. Strings in Our Schools offers small-group violin instruction in four elementary schools in Santa Fe and Pecos, serving students in grades 2–6. Guitar in Our Schools provides small-group guitar instruction to students in grades 3–6 at two elementary schools in Santa Fe. The Dream Big Private Lesson Program offers weekly, subsidized, private lessons on each student’s chosen instrument, including voice, at two middle schools and one high school in Santa Fe. And our Summer Youth Concert features Festival musicians engaging children with delightful 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 2023 donation to the Festival, contact our 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 $12.5 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.

The Mozart Society

Play a part in the future of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival through your planned gift.

The group of passionate Festival supporters we call The Mozart Society comprises chamber music lovers who wish to leave a permanent legacy of support for the Festival in their wills or other estate plans. Like the enduring beauty of Mozart’s music, the generosity of our Mozart Society members lives on, ensuring that future generations can enjoy and be inspired by the Festival’s world-class chamber music performances. To thank this special group of donors, every summer the Festival celebrates its Mozart Society members with a private recital and reception.

Your gift of any size is truly meaningful. Legacy gift options are varied, and we can work with you to find a plan that best suits you and your family.

If you’ve already made a provision for a bequest or another planned gift, please let us know so that we can welcome you into The Mozart Society and acknowledge and honor your commitment.

Music in Our Schools is a series of in-school chamber music concerts for students in pre-K and grades K–6 at 14 schools in Santa Fe, Taos, Los Alamos, and Pecos. The program reaches nearly 5,000 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, 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 2–6. The free program provides students with violins and materials. 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 their middle school orchestras.

Guitar in Our Schools

Guitar in Our Schools provides youth with instruction in classical guitar. The program is based at the Ramirez Thomas and Sweeney elementary schools in Santa Fe and serves students in grades 3–6. Students learn multiple

aspects of guitar playing through twice-weekly lessons, and they perform every school year during winter holiday concerts and spring concerts.

Dream Big Private Lesson Program

The Dream Big Private Lesson Program is a subsidized private lesson program serving low-income music students in public middle and high schools. It offers weekly low- and no-cost private lessons taught at school by professional musicians on each student’s chosen instrument, including voice. The program serves 38 students and provides an average of 1,144 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 honor 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

adult that they can bond with and rely on during critical teenage years.

Dream Big students harbor the hope that musicianship might 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.

Summer Youth Concert

The Festival’s Summer Youth Concert makes chamber music fun and accessible for kids of all ages. The free, interactive event is held during the Festival’s summer season in St. Francis Auditorium in the New Mexico Museum of Art. It features Festival musicians engaging children with storytelling—about composers, instruments, music, and musical styles—as well as performing repertoire drawn directly from the Festival’s regular programming.

The concert delights and inspires our youngest audiences and builds their knowledge and curiosity about the world of music. It draws individual children of all ages (plus their family members or guardians) and hundreds of students from public schools and summer camps.

For more information, contact Leanne DeVane, Director of Education and Outreach, at ldevane@sfcmf.org. The Festival’s music education programs are generously sponsored by

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 info@sfcmf.org.

Please note: Once you donate a ticket, your donation is final, and the ticket is instantly made available for resale.

Health and Safety Protocols

The Festival’s health and safety protocols and procedures meet or exceed recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the New Mexico Department of Health. COVID vaccinations are strongly encouraged but not required for entry to Festival concerts. Face masks are encouraged in St. Francis Auditorium and The Lensic Performing Arts Center regardless of your vaccination status. Festival tickets are available digitally for touchless entry into St. Francis Auditorium as well as in their traditional physical form. For further details, visit SantaFeChamberMusic. org/healthandsafety.

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 blue 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 won’t be admitted or readmitted to the concert until an appropriate time, as determined by a Festival staff member or 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 can’t make any adjustments to the ticket price. Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.

Inclement Weather

The Festival is committed to honoring its concert schedule; therefore, performances proceed at their scheduled times regardless of weather conditions or traffic delays. The Festival regrets that tickets not used due to inclement weather or traffic delays can’t be refunded, exchanged, or returned for a tax receipt.

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 Summer Youth Concert that’s designed especially for children. Visit SantaFeChamberMusic. org/youth-concerts 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.
